The only issue with SAO's first half was the pacing. If Season 1 was a drawn-out retelling of the entire Aincrad arc, with added episodes written by Kawahara to give more screen time to the side characters and build on Kirito and Asuna's relationship so that the in-game wedding bit doesn't feel rushed, it would have been worth all the hype. Then, make ALO an independant 12-episode season where they WRITE OUT THE AWKWARD INCEST SUBTEXT/TEXT and make Sugou a better villain.

Don't forget the plot holes, shitty main character and pointless harem. As said before the main character is never in any danger or any trouble whats so ever. There's no challenge. Nothing about him is relatable and not enough makes you want to be him besides him being in a harem and being OP. He's mary sue of the story.

You're supposed to want to BE the main character of a story for it to be any good? I wouldn't want to be Ulysses, for instance, but I think most people would agree the odyssey isn't that bad. If anything a hero that you want to be feels like a Mary Sue to me, and reeks of fantasy wish fufulment. Which (fswf) was a big part of why I couldn't stand Guilty Crown. Different strokes I guess.
