To be honest, the scenes with the bandits were asking for it. Maybe the author wrote a lot about it on the Chinese forum and he decided to introduce them. It's not that I really want such scenes. It just looks silly. Bandits regularly bullied and blackmailed Inoda. Then Inoda met Kiritoi Asuna and the bandits disappeared... Why would that be? well, they were scared off by the police once and what. Moreover, when a worthless fat man got such a girlfriend, it's clear that these people would have taken her away from him. For me, this is basically the most logical ending to Inoda's relationship with Asuna.
I understand you already discussed all this last week. But, to me, GigachadKirito seems too weird. The standard Kirito is too idiotic and weak, and this new one is too much of an asshole. What's the point of making the hero a second Inoda/Hebeshima? I think they should have chosen something in between. The idea of Kirito imbued with additional powers by the Goddess makes a lot of sense for this game. As I wrote in the last update, if I were making Kirito's path to justice, that's how I would have written the plot. It seems a little awkward that all this is being transferred to IRL, but you can just accept it. Any fantasy has such moments. I just wish it had been explored, rather than just "snap" and we have a super-Kirito. For example, through Kirito's sex with the Goddess, where she tells him that women care about size and need more than just gentle sex. And while having sex with his girlfriends, Kirito could try something new and find his own approach to each one. Otherwise, it looks idiotic. Kirito, after Asuna's assurances, thinks the sex they have is all women need, and then, out of nowhere, he says, "Liz, you're my sex slave. Alice, I'll treat you like a whore!"
And why isn't it the other way around, by the way?
But I understand it's long, and Fujino probably wants to finish the game, so the author's plot twists aren't perfect, but, as they say, it'll go well with beer!
