Between Fantasy And Reality

Nowadays AI is becoming a thing, VR games didn't improve enough yet but our game consoles, our smartphones, and our PC reached a new level of graphics, we can't help but wonder what the future has for us with anxiety, the anxiety of having no control of our possible situations. "What will happen with our animes?" We have an enormous amount of media trying to foresee our future, between then there is SAO also known as Sword Art Online, which started as a novel and quickly got popular, gaining anime and manga adaptations. Sword Art Online is a full VR game in the world of Aincrad, having 100 different floors each with a boss, many unique equipment and an extremely complex system that has an infinite amount of skills, not only that but the capacity to emulate any feeling, what would happen if people, were draft from their life, and forced to beat the hundred floor to be free? Kirito was one of the beta testers, and after many incidents, he also become the 'black swordsman' and further more becomes the legend who beat Kayaba Akihiko, the creator of Sword Art Online, liberating the survivors of their death sleep. If you watch the anime, you probably wondered. "Why the hell is it so bad/good?" The answer is complicated, first of all, Sword Art Online was meant to be a romance between Kirito and Asuna, a romance inside of a game, that's why Kirito seems so empty, he is just op with no explanation, the game barely were explored and not only that, the side characters were completely useless, rip Klein screen time. The author wasn't bad at writing, but it was his very first big success, after two seasons things started to improve in Alicezation, but this fanfic won't be about other seasons, only about Sword Art online, the fanfic is a rewrite of all the events. "But we do have Sword Art Online Progressive" Yes, we do, I didn't read more than one chapter, but it's obvious that the events will be the same, in the end both Kirito and Asuna will remain with the same personalities, not only them but the side characters and the world, it won't make anything different at all, we can even count as 'filler' That's what this fanfic is about, to change the story and make something new and different, I can't say it will be better, because I'm still an newbie, my only real book, a novel, isn't even something I would read (yet) but I'm 200℅ confident in my abilities of making Sword Art Online an more interesting thing than only 'teenager romance' Having said all that, I hope you have a good time my fellow reader.

Ok It has been a real long time

Hello to anyone who gave me the opportunity of making this fanfic by making this book part of your library, It has been a long time and I finally noticed that, Sword Art Online is literally broken and impossible to work, I mean the game, so the reason of this new chap is to make some questions to anyone at the moment interested in this story.

Would you mind if I take most of the ideas of Sword Art Online and make something almost entirely new? Honestly, almost all the character's essence will be changed in some way, and not only that the development and conclusion as well, so it's almost like they only have the same names (and sometimes the same equipment)

Not only that but I will have to change the sword skill system, because it just doesn't make any sense and it's just, impossible to be used in the way I want, in Sword Art Online is stated that there is an infinite amount of skills, but there are only 10 unique skills (Dual wielding)

Do you see the problem?

Not only that but the world also doesn't make much sense, 100 floors, why that amount? Almost every boss will eventually feel like a big minion, if you play a lot of games you probably already had the feeling of "this is just a new skin"

The combat is almost the same until the end.

Then the RPG part, it's too much freaking grind, one thousand levels to max one sword skill, and you have to grind this xp, then you also have the proficiency system, like crafting and blacksmith, what do these 1000 thousand levels even could do? I made some to the blacksmith, and it could actually work, but for the combat, it's just, all buffs? Like a lot of passives? Then what's the point? Does it unlock new skills or something? And also, what's the point of having to unlock skills and have to pass weeks only upgrading one, when you will eventually reach the mark of getting a new one earlier, now mix that with other weapons and possible skills.

For the last is the menu, which looks very cool, seriously I love that menu, it's just so satisfying to just keep moving and hearing that opening sound, I would spend some minutes only doing that lol, but if you played the integral factor game, you know that, it doesn't work on practice.

Why do you need to open your inventory, every single time you want a potion, and then switch to fight, and repeat the same process all the time because there is no healing support characters.

The rules also don't work, after all if is a cooperative game, why only one person gets the boss item? Why do you need other players when you can just grind and make everyone around you become ants trying to bite you to deal damage.

So, saying all that and also, recommending the "Why Sword Art Online doesn't work" to be watched, would you, my patient person urging you to read something of quality, ignore those changes and stuff? I know, it's a fanfic, I can change almost everything but, at this point as I said on the beginning, there will be like 1℅ of SAO.

Please give me your suggestion, or else I will just stop doing that and look for something more productive to be done.
