Really feels like the Liz scene was undercooked. She was honestly my favorite for awhile, given I think Asuna is just boring, and has been boring almost consistently for part 2. Sugu is slowly climbing, Sinoh was just neutral, and Alice if anything I'm starting to feel legitimately bad for given she is basically being mind ntr'd at this point.
It feels weird, I still think this series is highly rateable. However, compared to part 1 and the novelty of finding secret ntr events happening for npc's was charming. Obviously 2 being alot more open and a bit more resource intensive for more qualitative named character scenes has been a big boon, but it still feels like something has been lost.
Add on every character seems to have an interesting red herring event where they might actually break the mold (Asuna originally having a mind break seeing fake kirito fuck secret Sugu, Liz both being super controlling of Inoda and possibly breaking him, Alice maybe becoming aware and even planning to fight back, Sugu breaking everyone and basically becoming the hero of an NTR story possibly), but there's little to no commitment to alot of these, and then they go back to formula like nothing had ever happened. I'm still subscribed, and I'm definitely running this towards the end, but it does call into question Fujino's follow through ability, but also their ability to not just fold into easy solutions.
