@harinezumikoukenAsuna is one of the blandest characters I have ever read. ^^; Then again I only ever read the first two SAO novels before deciding that it had good concepts and ideas but the execution was... Flawed, basically. ^^;
Also I refer to Kirito as "The Bland Swordsman" so that his title doesn't get mixed up with the true Black Swordsman. :D
Guts is one of Tyaethe's inspirations. : D
@Rin The actual chapters around the ending were actually good. It was just that he cut out the dramatic final battle part because of that stuff. It was still fun, though.
