Too much little sister crush trope (drowning full pages with her mushy~ness.

Where Aincrad held weight and urgency (while using tropes wisely), Alfheim boils down to "sup hero, do a sorta-timed rescue quest" (while Asuna was reduced to the resident damsel-in-distress NPC) If only Lizbet and Silica had had a chance to get in on the action, it would've been awesome enough to make up for Asuna's depowering.Ĭontinues exactly where last book left off - Kirito's NewGame+ speedrun to reach the 'prize' Fairy Queen locked in her golden cage Lame.Īt least the other female character in the book gets to kick some major ass. How can you take a kick ass character and reduce her to this? Yeah, she does manage to contribute to her escape in one important way, but ultimately she has to rely on her boyfriend to save the day. Why change a good thing? And just to make sure Asuna learns her lesson about being a strong feminist figure, she's threatened with an extra helping of rapeyness with added tentacles.

I mean, the damsel-in-distress trope has been with us for thousands of years. She does manage to escape once, but she's of course recaptured since we can't have a female protagonist saving herself. There are no deliveries on Saturdays, Sundays or Bank Holidays.On the whole this is a fun fast paced read, but it suffers from the same problem as the previous volume - Asuna is reduced to the status of Princess Peach waiting for Mario to rescue her from King Koopa - who again tries to get all rapey with her.
