-<wrap spoiler>While Kirito has more of a character, he feels disconnected with the rest of the series (at least from what I've currently experienced).

 It's a shame that the manga appears to have ended early, because it's probably the best of SAO, as far as the Aincrad portions go. It's a shame that the manga appears to have ended early, because it's probably the best of SAO, as far as the Aincrad portions go.
  
 I'll work this in properly later as well, but Progressive also introduces an NPC that Asuna and Kirito...//keep//? It's not quite clear. She's a dark elf who was part of an early quest-line that the two of them did.\\ I'll work this in properly later as well, but Progressive also introduces an NPC that Asuna and Kirito...//keep//?

 What's notable about her is that she is chronologically the first hint that there are self-aware NPCs inside the game. In fact, her possibly being self-aware confuses and intrigues Kirito.\\ What's notable about her is that she is chronologically the first hint that there are self-aware NPCs inside the game.

-What I noticed only now is that this may explain why Kirito is opposed to using NPCs as bait in one of the Boss strategy meetings. It really doesn't make a lot of sense on its own and makes Kirito look really stupid. But with the added context that Kirito //knows that NPCs can be and sometimes **are** self-aware//...well, suddenly he isn't looking so bad.+What I noticed only now is that this may explain why Kirito is opposed to using NPCs as bait in one of the Boss strategy meetings.

Though I think this //could// be explained by her realizing during her time with Kirito (or post-separation?) that the NPCs in-game are NPCs. Something that may not be apparent to her at first as someone who just doesn't play games. Though I don't remember enough to be sure.))
