90% of anime fans, noth in the USA and in Japan, ae hormonal teenagers who like looking and pbeautiful people and care little about the deeper story.

Though I have it on good authority the LN of SAO is a lot less shitty gary stu-ish, apparently the metric shitload of timeskips in the anime gloss over any character development that occurs.
