Gabriel's Frustration: SAO Was Too Wild!

Because he didn't buy the original version, the NPCs in it Superpower that they were almost as good as Mahito, and they even lied to him when he was carrying out missions.

For example, not giving a reward or giving a reward that is different from what was promised.

What surprised him most was the control over physical strength involved.

Even in his world, virtual games have been developed for a long time, and countless classic virtual games have emerged, yet only a few virtual games have achieved this level of success.

As players level up, their physical attributes will increase.

It sounds simple, but it's much harder than creating a virtual game from scratch. The hardest part is finding the right balance.

Superficial strength and strength forged through countless trials are completely different.

Kayaba Akihiko's SAO does it very well; at least Momonga can't find any fault with it.

Heathcliff: "Sorry, that was a little irrational."

Heathcliff: "It's the world's fault, not the game."

Kayaba Akihiko was just making a sarcastic remark; how could he not know that it had nothing to do with the game itself, but rather with the different worlds?

Time travel doesn't exist in his world.

The Richest Man in the America: "Is the gap really that big?"

The Richest Man in the America: "Isn't SAO the first virtual game you created, and the first game in your world?"

The Richest Man in the America: "They're even criticizing YGGDRASIL (the World Tree) now."

The Richest Man in the America, "I don't even know what to say."

One is the first virtual game, the other is a classic virtual online game that has been developed for a long time. How can the former be better than the latter? Who can believe it?

Isn't it usually the latter who is better than the former?!

The key point is that even the Momonga admitted it.

Ordinary Group Owner: "After all, the purposes for which they were created are different."

Ordinary Group Owner, "One is to make money, and the other is to create a realistic fantasy world."

Ordinary Group Owner, "We're definitely striving to make every part of the game as realistic as possible."

Ordinary Group Owner, "If I hadn't just recently bought YGGDRASIL (World Tree), I would have liked to buy a copy of SAO to play with."

Su Yunqing said with some regret.

Virtual online games require a lot of Points. Although as an anime lover, I definitely can't miss this kind of anime-based game, I'm only in my twenties World Tree YGGDRASIL. I don't know how long it will take to reach the maximum level.

She doesn't have the energy to play a new game now.

After all, her real world is even more exciting than the game world.

Fallen Angel: "Fun!"

Fallen Angel: "This SAO is so much fun!"

Fallen Angel: "This is so much fun!"

Fallen Angel: "I highly recommend you guys go and have fun!"

Fallen Angel: "Gritting teeth. jpg"

At this point, Gabriel also started recommending it in the Chat Group.

Umaru Doma: "That tone... what happened to you in the game?"

Umaru Doma: "Doesn't this sound a bit like me playing a depressing game, getting depressed, and then recommending it to others as a cure?"

As a fellow game enthusiast, Umaru immediately noticed that something was wrong with Gabriel!

Momonga: "So this game doesn't have a pay-to-win feature?"

Aside from that, Momonga couldn't think of anything else in SAO that would make Gabriel grit her teeth.

To be honest, when he was looking at Gabriel's Memory Copy, he was also amazed by her extravagant spending after she Fallen from grace.

Even during his most intense periods of spending money on in-game purchases, he probably didn't spend as much as Gabriel.

Fallen Angel: "Pay-to-win?"

Fallen Angel: "No, no, no, although it does bother me a little, it's not the main thing!"

Gabriel shook her head after seeing Momonga's words.

Although the inability to spend real money and immediately purchase powerful items did make them somewhat unhappy, in a way, it also reflects the excellence of SAO.

The currency inside needs to be obtained by completing tasks and hunting monsters.

It's impossible to exchange currency in one real world using the currency of another world.

Gabriel can accept it perfectly well.

What annoyed her the most, and made her grit her teeth in anger, were those NPCs!

Fallen Angel: "Heathcliff, why do these NPCs lie?!"

Fallen Angel: "You promised me a reward for helping them get rid of those wild boars, but after I completed the mission, you told me you didn't know me at all?"

Fallen Angel: "I can't kill him yet. If I do, not only will the villagers blacklist me, but the law enforcement will also hunt me down!!"

Fallen Angel: "The problem is, because of my level, I can't beat them, so I can only run!"

Fallen Angel: "Aaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!"

You could completely sense Gabriel's irritability from her tone.

My first time experiencing a virtual game.

My first time performing a mission in a virtual game.

My first time hunting monsters in a game.

It was supposed to be a happy occasion, but the NPC actually lied to me!

How can Gabriel accept something like this?!

This has never happened in the games she's played before!

Heathcliff: "."

Heathcliff: "Well, because the SAO in the Chat Group Mall is the version after the public beta, which is the version that Kirito completed, the personalities of those NPCs are becoming more and more like Mahito."

Heathcliff: "Among humankind, there is no shortage of treacherous individuals."

Heathcliff: "So."

Fallen Angel: "So I was unlucky enough to encounter a treacherous person and get scammed, right?"

Fallen Angel: "Aaaaaaah!!!"

Fallen Angel: "Trash game!"

Fallen Angel: "Bah!"

Heathcliff: "."

Although his meticulously crafted game was being criticized, Kayaba Akihiko dared not refute it.

After all, when he was considering this matter, he also heard about the reactions of players after they realized they had been tricked by NPCs.

He just didn't expect that he wouldn't see the player's reaction, but he would see the Angel's reaction instead.

Well, Fallen Angel are still considered Angel, right?

Umaru Doma: "Hahahaha!"

Umaru Doma World Tree: "Luckily, I bought YGGDRASIL first."

Umaru Doma: "While it's not that intelligent, games don't necessarily have to be as realistic as reality."

Umaru Doma: "So much fun. jpg"

For Umaru!, the realism of the game doesn't necessarily have to be reflected in the NPCs; as long as the graphics are good enough and the immersion is high enough, that's enough.

Reality and games should be kept separate.

Fallen Angel: "Sigh, I should have just bought YGGDRASIL (World Tree) back then. So frustrating."

Gabriel looked at Umaru's words and said, feeling frustrated.

What do we do now?

Should I buy another YGGDRASIL (World Tree) and experience a true virtual game again, or continue playing SAO?

Although the NPCs are very intelligent, their skill usage and the freedom of combat are unparalleled.

Gabriel hesitated for a moment.
