You are gonna love MuvLuv's VN adaptation. /offtopic
I don't think SAO fails to do what it tries to do as a story. The problem is that the trailers teased something different to what we got, and the fans hyped it above the heavens as something it was not.
Of all the possibilities there are to work with such a good premise, SAO took the easy road. But can you blame an author that wrote this on his late teens?* I can't, on the contrary, it's quite impressive.
It's been 12 episodes already, people should have lowered their expectations a bit by now.
*This is a very likely rumor. The author is rumored to be in his late 20s and SAO was written 10 years ago
