Personally, I still like swords very much. Although I haven't read the novel, I was deeply moved by Kirito and Asuna. The pure love between the two is believed to be the main reason why all those who like swords like swords. The reason why the sword can be so popular is actually very simple. Things related to the real society are quickly understated in the animation, so that although the whole animation is based on the real society, it still empties the reality and does not seem so heavy. This is the kind of simplicity that homesteaders yearn for.
In the end, everyone is happy, but I am not very satisfied with Kayaba's whitewashing. You pursued an ideal world that broke reality, and finally realized it, but left thousands of lives out of the world. The animation of Kayaba is obviously a positive character, but it understates these lost lives, which makes people feel a kind of The feeling of "I will die if I die" is really speechless.
All in all, I think Sword and Sword is still very successful overall, and it is indeed a great idea to use a game created by futuristic technology to alternate reality. The af chapter is not satisfactory, I didn't feel much after reading it, so I gave it four stars.
