You should get opinion from the fans and haters before decide to watch SAO anime or read SAO LN.
That's kinda what I'm trying to do here, I've heard the opinions of the countless haters, now I want to hear the fans' opinion.
I wouldn't call myself a SAO fan, and it's certainly not the best LN series I've read, but it is a good series.
If you're curious, read it for yourself, and go in with a neutral opinion rather than one shaped by haters, or indeed shaped by the anime at all.
It's worth pointing out that basically none of the actual criticism (as opposed to the bandwagon "it's cool to hate this series/x famous youtuber didn't like this series" that is the real reasoning behind most of the haters) people put on the anime applies to the novels at all, instead coming predominantly from the fact that the anime throws in side stories that are actually in later volumes of the series or SAO Progressive. Looking through all the top reviews of the anime on this site, this is the direct cause of their first and top complaint every time.

Is the SAO LN really that good? I can't bring myself to read it because all the hate and insult it received, so I'm wondering if it's really worth being at the top of every LN sale list...

He's been making the same stupid whining comments in every thread like this so what is so surprising about people getting tried of it? Regardless of what side you sit on there is a time to stop sounding like a broken record.

Well that's what to expect from a major weeb who's addicted to all Type/Moon Multimedia franchise.
(Games,Anime,LN,Manga, maybe he even got nendroids/figures)

This manga's plot is amazing and unique to find these days, it's the one that deserves an anime adaption the most.

The top 20 of LN is a paradise (SAO, Re Zero, Overlord, Gamers, Mahouka, Konosuba...)
On the other side the majority of top 20 manga are crap(Soma and Neverland are the only good stuff there). Mainstream people are so boring...
Is this a real unironic comment

Uhm... If the rank and sales don't make fan's opinion obvious......................
It just gets a lot of hate cause it's really popular. Basically it's a meme to hate on it (lol.. I even pretend I don't like it in public these days cause I don't wanna get hanged XD)
