Interesting that you think that the relationship felt genuine, because I thought pretty much the opposite. Kirito was about 16 when the romance started. Their relationship was extremely unrealistic for their age. It would have been far more powerful had it been depicted in a more authentic fashion - challenges and all. If an author is going to write a teenage relationship then do so, don't embellish things and give your characters the maturity of a 30 year old.
