That was a rhethorical question. I'm from Malaysia, and while I'm a native English speaker, I'm also fluent in Bahasa Malaysia, and can understand Bahasa Indonesia.

Calling me whatever you like, but I genuinely feel sad to see Asuna corrupted or changed, especially when I learned about her family background. She was used to be a polite and obedient girl. She studies so hard so that she will not bring shame to her family reputation. Basically, she was some unreachable, classy and elegant princess, but now looks at her. She is not longer a "princess".
Go and read the goddamned Mother's Rosario. It opens up with Asuna managing a homework session in her ALO house. She logged into a VR MMO to do her homework and make sure her youunger friends are doing their homework.

So, she's no longer a princess. So, she's no longer part of the ultra competitive rat race. She has friends who love her, has grown as a person, and has found love. She doesn't need to be a princess or to be perfect, becuase she has something even better: happiness.

Lamenting about a main heroine playing VRMMO in a story about VRMMO where her experience in said VRMMO led to her development as good and strong character (and person in the story)? He's either a troll, or someone who needs to take a serious look at his value system.

It's like arguing Tony Stark was better BEFORE he made the Iron Man suit
Either s/he/it is a troll, or more kindly, is what we in Malaysia call "blur", which refers to someone who can't see what reality or the situation is. I'm starting to lean more towards blur.
