And although I wouldn't use that term myself, I do have some issues with Kirito's characterization. No, not only Kirito, but how Kawahara handle characters in general actually.

What's wrong with Kirito's characterization, I'm curious? I rather like SAO characters, though I admit there is something in them that I dislike, I just can't put my finger on it. I definitely don't like AW characters (I just want to jab porky in the eye for no particular reason), so you're probably right on it being a Kawahara thing. I wish I could put my finger on it, though.
And when did the term "Gary Stu" come up? I had to google it because I thought I missed something, but it seems to be some idiotic phrase I've never heard of before seeing it in this thread.
