Wasn't it me who brought that up?
I only started watching it because Toonami aired it and I have some unreasonable obligation to check out stuff that's either new or might be interesting.
But yeah, the 2 years of semen thing was something the author did indeed write and its something that people will use as a compelling argument as to why the series is no good. And to be fair, they're mostly right, the series has a few interesting characters, but the mains are the [tornado fang]ing definition of Mary Sue.
[tornado fang], I'd rather watch a series of Suguha just doing slice-of-life stuff and occasionally playing ALO for fanservice shots because despite the whole incest thing she was a much more developed character than Kirito or Asuna.
But again, its not the worst series ever made, or the worst series I've ever watched, but its not a [tornado fang]ing masterpiece.
