SAOs only selling point is drama, and this arc had none of that. It's kind of silly to base your entire series on drama and not a real engaging story, anyway, but at least there was enough substance to watch it with that, if only barely.
What I mean is, SAO should have been about this from the start, life in a video game with drama based on videogame situations. Like "we need to get better gear to fight this floor's boss and get to the next level, lets go collect materials" and stuff like that. The first part of SAO1 had some balance between the two and it was good foor that, but from ALO onwards It decided to center mainly on drama leaving the game aspects in a second or even third place. Had it been like this from the start you'd be saying it is LH that's trying to be like SAO.
(Seems like about time I get into watching LH btw)
