I quite liked this arc. The after credit scene was a nice touch in particular.

Why don't we deserve her?

LLEN/Karen is the protagonists fans needed and deserve. I am in love with her style of play: practicality and resourcefulness is sexy.

other than Boss, I didn't see the other girls as *that* different in avatar from other women we';ve seen, both in the town/entrance zone and Pito. Eva/Boss is a big hulking amazon - you only know its her from the pigtails - the others look more or less average for the game

Im beginning to wonder if Pitohui really loves M.
Though, this weird association between he and she might hint otherwise.
M could have just easily ran far away from this one woman, and yet entrusting his life to Llenn that Pitohui was the one who introduced her to him to become a team.

It is kind of a miracle to me that how these two still won, even though they were almost about to shoot each other to death.
Until the end M mental well being was still unstable.
Still won the whole thing with this seemingly slim hope of many possibli... I dont know what im talking about.

I'm running with the idea they know each other professionally in real life, in a unequal realationship

Can't escape, either M has school or work that is in a tight spot he can't easily move away from.
We all know that it is hard to take a scene seriously of a huge man filled with tears bowing down on a little girl.
The atmosphere of the scene is not serious also.
But M was not like "i better get out of here or im screwed", but looks to me like Pitohui already has M on his throat with a knife.
The time M log out, well, is she still treated as Pitohui in real life?
I felt like Llenn was only half-serious on this case, and even she gets it on how M was just being dramatic with teary eyes.

Maybe one of the reasons M is playing GGO is to build his composure.
Playing games build such a habit is one of the ideas i guess, and to be used to the harsh enviroment such as playing a soldier guiding and cooperating his fellows like it is an everyday job.
I mean, he was all no-nonsense character all this time until at the end of episode 4.
But when it comes to Pitohui, he still has a long way to go.

And other players should just avoid shootouts against Llenn directly or they are screwed.
Before, Llenn was almost dead by a unexpected shot so.

It seems to me like it's likely to be something like the (M)anager of a temperamental singer that's upset over having to sing in a concert instead of participating in the squad jam. That letter seems like an obvious foreshadow anyway.

I think if the 'Boss' squad had met the military squad from ep 1, the former would have lost. LLEN and M chose their ground to take out the skilled military squad convincingly, with a unexpected trap. With the 'Boss' squad, LLEN was tired and in an unfavourable position, M had given up, and the last squad still missed some good chances to get them; even if they're good, they're schoolgirls, not professional soldiers. It was a bit much to have LLEN protected by an object twice, but still a very exciting episode, and a nice ending with LLEN making new friends.
