Everything wrong with Sword Art Online

Hello everyone,
I'll be trying to document everything that's wrong with sao (light novel, movie, anime, video games) in no particular order. It has its own page and will be updated when I remember something or if you know something in particular. Comment what it is and I'll credit you. Let's try to do this to show why SAO is one of the most overrated series ever made.

About more sections

I'll probably add more sections to the blog for ease of use and to give people a better idea of who I am. I'll add sections as lists, favorite music, YouTube videos etc. So please enjoy when I come out with them and be sure to check out my work and support me if you like it. Thank you!

Another new section

Before I go to bed, I put together a politics section here to keep track of certain politics and important real world topics that keep coming up. I'll update them later and continue to update them as time moves along.

Separate pages for samples

Hello everyone,

I've given the samples of my book their own pages as you can see to the right side so everyone can see samples of my work without having to look through the blog to find them. Some of these are pre-edits so there may be some mistakes in them so if there are please tell me so I can fix them.

Thank you and enjoy!

Easter gift, some of my favorite quotes from Watamote!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter everyone! :D

A neat little zine I made for class

Yeah I know it's pretty simple and a bit crappy, but I like it.

Speed run of Sword art online defrag

Best name to use when playing this game based on a harem show.

The game is a tap fest with blocking, slashing, and using special moves.

Ha! No she ain't! The only unique thing about her is that she has aids. 

You kidding me with this shit?

I uninstalled the game after seeing what it had to offer after like 5 minutes. It's a tap fest game with microtransactions so you'll get to a certain point in the game where you have to grind or pay money to continue.

Islam as truthfully described by Dr. Peter Hammond

Dr. Peter Hammond’s book: Slavery, Terrorism and Islam:

Islam is not a religion, nor is it a cult. In its fullest form, it is a complete, total, 100% system of life. Islam has religious, legal, political, economic, social, and military components. The religious component is a beard for all of the other components.

Islamization begins when there are sufficient Muslims in a country to agitate for their religious privileges.

When politically correct, tolerant, and culturally diverse societies agree to Muslim demands for their religious privileges, some of the other components tend to creep in as well..

Here’s how it works:

As long as the Muslim population remains around or under 2% in any given country, they will for the most part be regarded as a peace-loving minority, and not as a threat to other citizens.

It is a trick.

United States — Muslim 0..6%
Australia — Muslim 1.5%
Canada — Muslim 1.9%
China — Muslim 1.8%
Italy — Muslim 1.5%
Norway — Muslim 1.8%

At 2% to 5%, they begin to proselytize from other ethnic
minorities and disaffected groups, often with major
recruiting from the jails and among street gangs. This is
happening in:

Denmark — Muslim 2%
Germany — Muslim 3.7%
United Kingdom — Muslim 2.7%
Spain — Muslim 4%
Thailand — Muslim 4.6%

From 5% on, they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population.

For example, they will push for the introduction of halal food (clean by Islamic standards), thereby securing food preparation jobs for
Muslims.They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature halal on their shelves — along with threats for failure to comply.

At this point, they will work to get the ruling government
to allow them to rule themselves (within their ghettos)
under Sharia, the Islamic Law.

The ultimate goal of Islamists is to establish Sharia law
over the entire world.
When Muslims approach 10% of the population, they tend to
increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions.
In Paris, we are already seeing car-burnings. Any non Muslim
action offends Islam, and results in uprisings and threats, such as in Amsterdam, with opposition to Mohammed cartoons
and films about Islam. Such tensions are seen daily, particularly in Muslim sections. FRANCE

After reaching 20%, nations can expect hair-trigger rioting,
jihad militia formations, sporadic killings, and the burnings of Christian churches and Jewish synagogues. Think what is going on in Turkey now, after the so called coupe attempt.

At 40%, nations experience widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks,

From 60%, nations experience unfettered persecution of non-believers of all other religions (including non-conforming Muslims), sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon, and Jizya, the tax placed on infidels.

After 80%, expect daily intimidation and violent
jihad, some

State-run ethnic cleansing, and even some genocide, as these
nations drive out the infidels, and move toward 100% Muslim.

"The Immigration and Nationality Act passed June 27, 1952 revised the laws relating to immigration, naturalization, and nationality for the United States. That act, which became Public Law 414, established both the law and the intent of Congress regarding the immigration of Aliens to the US and remains in effect today. Among the many issues it covers, one in particular, found in Chapter 2 Section 212, (28), (F) is the prohibition of entry to the US if the Alien belongs to an organization seeking to overthrow the government of the United States by 'force, violence, or other unconstitutional means.' This, by its very definition, rules out Islamic immigration to the United States. Islamic immigration to the US would be prohibited under this law because the Koran, Sharia Law and the Hadith all require complete submission to Islam, which is antithetical to the US government, the Constitution, and to the Republic. All Muslims who attest that the Koran is their life's guiding principal subscribe to submission to Islam and its form of government. Whether Islam is a religion is immaterial because the law states that Aliens who are affiliated with any "organization" that advocates the overthrow of our government are prohibited."

Can a Muslim be a good American?

Theologically - no, because his allegiance is to Allah.

Religiously - no, because no other religion is accepted by His Allah except Islam (Qur'an 2:256).

Scripturally - no, because his allegiance is to the five Pillars of Islam and the Qur'an.

Geographically - no, because his allegiance is to Mecca, to which he turns in prayer five times a day.
Socially - no, because his allegiance to Islam forbids him to make friends with Christians or Jews.

Politically - no, because he must submit to the mullahs (spiritual leaders) who teach the annihilation of Israel and the destruction of America, the great Satan.

Domestically - no, because he is instructed to marry four Women and beat his wife when she disobeys him (Qur'an 4:34).

Intellectually - no, because he cannot accept the American Constitution since it is based on Biblical principles and he believes the Bible to be corrupt.

Philosophically - no, because Islam, Muhammad, and the Qur'an does not allow freedom of religion and expression. Democracy and Islam cannot co-exist! Every Muslim government is either dictatorial or autocratic.

Spiritually - no, because when we declare 'one nation under God,' we are referring to the Christian's God and not Allah.

They obviously cannot be both 'good' Muslims and good Americans/Canadians; they cannot and will not integrate into the great melting pot of America.

The religious war is bigger than we know or understand. Muslims everywhere have said they will destroy us from within.

Please repost all you can so that we can educate everyone about this sick Islamic ideology And their world wide agenda!!

My new book reviewed from a guy I know (on Amazon uk)

5.0 out of 5 starsFixes many faults of Sword Art Online while establishing a unique sense of self-awareness.

By Deacon Leach on 8 April 2017

The growing popularity of Sword Art Online and many stories like it is certainly rapid, however this does not excuse its lack of actual quality in the eyes of myself, Albert Oon (author of the story), and many others. This is the author's attempt at taking the core of Sword Art Online, and improving it in almost every imaginable way. I'd personally say they did an exceptional job, and the many minute and obvious details present deserve commendation. The story follows Kaylen, Kerano and Angel, who are all trapped, body and soul, in a video game (roll credits). They each have 3 lives to beat the game within 3-5 days before they die of thirst/starvation, and losing all 3 lives traps the player in a coma that lasts until the game is finally beaten. The story is told from Kaylen's perspective, and this is a strong aspect of the writing. From this perspective, the reader understands how Kaylen thinks and reacts to his surroundings (with his internal thoughts ranging from serious to utterly perverted). This helps to develop him as a likable protagonist. Despite the parallels to Kirito, he isn't a one man army, and it's made very clear that he would be toast without the help of his allies. Angel and Kerano are also well written, and react how you would expect to Kaylen's actions (for example, Kerano isn't exactly pleased when Kaylen risks the lives of others for his own gain). The development of Angel and Kaylen's relationship is also done decently, and the banter between the 3 is genuinely quite hilarious.
Another detail that deserves praise is how the stakes are set; SAO's Aincrad arc takes place over a span of two years I believe, and this creates numerous plot holes and inconsistencies. For example, if the cause of death is microwaves frying your brain upon disconnecting from the device, how were people transported to hospital without grilled brain on the menu that night? How were the creators not found in those 2 years? How was no ethical hacker able to hack into the game and modify its code in those two years, when superjesus Kirito was able to store an extremely complicated piece of code as an item while scanning the entire game's code in 10 seconds? This story, however, avoids the massive quantity of plot holes by having the cause of death be death by thirst or starvation, meaning transport would be possible without death as a result, and the story taking place over 3-5 days also solves plot issues such as real-world condition of the characters. The story also feels like it was written by someone who has actually played a game in their entire life, as Rule Humanity Online sounds like an actually decent game, while the in-universe games of SAO sound like absolute trash that nobody would play upon putting 5 seconds of thought into it.
One of the best aspects, by far, is the humour and self awareness. The humour is crude and sexual without appearing juvenile, and the characters' reactions to their situations also to the humour. The story is also rather self-aware, and it never tries to have its cake and eat it too, as the story is rarely taken very seriously. The book is also packed with references to other media, such as Dark Souls (my favourite game ever made), and it takes influence from other sources. Of course, it's also full of jabs at Sword Art Online, with one scene in particular completely tearing apart the aforementioned Kirito superjesus hacker moment.
Overall, definitely a recommendation. The potential of Sword Art Online is combined with actually good writing, and the length of time the story lasts (for me a little under 90 minutes, although I read rather fast) justifies the price. So good job Albert, look forward to future projects.

Self-publishing vs Traditional

This is part of my final report in my Tech Writing class and I thought it would be good to share my findings with you.

Self- Publishing versus Traditional categories

Creative control

            This is self-publishing’s greatest strength and appeal to all kinds of authors and creators as they control all aspects of their product. They decide what designs to have, how to make the book, lines to cross, what to hold back, how to market it, who to market it to, and when you have it out. Traditional publishing is what decides what decisions you want stay, change, or are completely expunged from the product. This can discourage someone to publish their product as their identity can be stripped away to different degrees to the point where it’s the traditional publisher’s book now and not the author’s or in some cases, not get their book published at all. This is the most common reason why traditionally published authors and self-published authors on the Authors’ Exodus Group on LinkedIn got together as they are sick of not having a good enough say in their books.

Mistakes

            This can depend in some cases. If a self-publisher makes a mistakes when it comes to editing, marketing, or overall design, it is their fault and their fault alone. This can either empower the author to do better next time, make them not want to publish anymore, or become delusional and say that the mistakes aren’t mistakes. The self-published author can avoid mistakes by paying for professional authors, asking for help from fellow friends and family, using software like Grammarly, or just doing it themselves if they are proficient at it. With traditional publishers, they have editors and professional designers to make sure the book to up to par with others. If they ever make a mistake, it is not the author’s fault this time and the traditional publisher will make up for it. Now this all depends on who the author is and how they take failure and mistake making. Mistakes in works can give authors and makers bad names for not polishing their products as best as they can be and even give their name a permanent negative stigma. If you are good at making mistakes and learning from them, then self-publishing is not a bad choice to make, but neither is traditional if you’re the opposite or the same.

Marketing

            This is another category that can depend greatly on the author. Traditional publishers already have a network and audience to inform about a new book that is coming out so the author already has people that will take interest in their book. A self-published author has to build up their own audience through their own networks and methods. This can be either a great challenge or no sweat at all. If you’re new to marketing and don’t know where to show your book, then you’ll have trouble selling your book to anyone. On the other hand, if you already have an audience through social media, are good at marketing, know where to spread your work, or have people in the industry who can show your work to the right people then marketing will be no trouble at all. Even traditional publishing authors still need to do a little bit of this on their own to really push their books out there. In conclusion, if you’re good at getting out there then choose self-publishing however if you aren’t, then pick traditional. Again, it all depends on the author themselves.

Time to Market

          In this mini category that links itself to marketing, time to market or time for the product to get to the marketplace, self-publishers can get their work out as fast as they want to. Traditional publishing authors have to wait for their publisher to go through their book and fix and change different things which could take months or even years in some cases. This can be difficult for the author as the book they are publishing could be banking on something that is current and fresh in people’s minds. They need that currently trending topic to really make their work sell otherwise it’ll just look outdated and behind the times. You could say that this is the fault of the author making dated material, but it’s their work so it really depends on them. This is also a trend people follow as people like to publisher work pertaining to current events. A great example is the recently best-selling book Reasons to Vote for Democrats by Michael J. Knowles, which is self-published satire about why to currently vote for Democratic Party (the book is a completely blank with only sources in the back by the way). This aligns with current events where the democrats are losing and are an unappealing party is support especially with the controlling, communist-like alt-left. This book wouldn’t work when the democrats are doing well so it needed to be published in the current political situation. Self-publishing is best in this situation and its ability to publish work in little to no time.

These are a few other things that have to do with exposure. If a self-publishing author wants to move to traditional at any point, they can have a better chance of getting accepted than a new author since they already have an audience, reviews, and sales to show for it. On the other hand, traditional publishers have a better chance of getting awards and have a better “appearance” as self-publishers only ask for certain formatting from their authors while traditional publishers need their authors to catch their interest.

Upfront Costs

            Unlike some self-publishers like BookBaby, traditional publishers don’t ask their authors to pay an upfront cost and in some even pay the author upfront to publish the book. Now there are self-publishing companies like Createspace and Smashwords that publish for free, but these are only a couple of free self-publishers compared to most others that ask for an upfront cost. Some self-publishers ask for hundreds to even thousands of dollars to publish the author’s work. Of course this is no trouble for an author with a lot of money, but who really has that much money to waste?

Royalties

            Since traditional publishers do a lot of work for their authors, they need to pay their workers which cuts the author’s pay. Self-publishers don’t take as much which can seem extremely appealing to authors especially if the book does well. Of course, how the book does is the real concern for all authors, but when it comes to royalties’ then self-publishing is where it’s best.

Results

            After tallying up everything, I’ve made this little list to summarize what form of publishing is positive or negative in each category.

Category	Self-publishing	Traditional
Creative control	Positive	Negative
Mistakes	(Author Dependent)	(Author/Publisher Dependent)
Marketing	(Author Dependent)	Positive, but author input still required
Time to Market	Positive	Negative
Upfront Cost	(Author/Publisher Dependent)	Positive
Royalties	Positive	Negative
Total	3 positive, 3 author dependent	2 positive, 1 author dependent, 3 negative

            As you can see from the result, you can see why people would choose self-publishing at face value, however, keep in mind that mistakes, marketing, and upfront cost can make or break a self-publishing author’s career. On the traditional publisher side, creative control, time to market, and royalties can do the same. Overall, it depends on who the author publishing their work is. If they’re good at marketing, have a strong social media presence, and the right people to show your book off then choose self-publishing. If you’re new with no idea how to market, need editing and book designs, and don’t care about the wait to get the previous two things then choose traditional publishing. Both forms of publishing your work have their positives and negatives, but in the end. It all depends on the author and their skills.

Small Berserk parts

While reading the Berserk series, I found a couple things like the Evil dead reference and the xenomorph helmet designs. All writers find inspiration from others and put parts of it in whether intentionally or it'll be passive. Now these little designs and references are cool and I can't really complain about it since it's only a small reference and doesn't really take up too much time. I also can't complain too much since Dark souls is like 40 - 45% Berserk.

My new book is coming out soon!

I just submitted my book and it should be out in ebook and physical form soon on amazon first probably by either tomorrow or Saturday. I'll be updating later when it's actually out and in the meantime I'll be giving a few out for free to some people I know and hold a giveaway later.

Playing Dark Souls with a Broken Sword

Check out Zero Lenny's run of the Dark Souls trilogy. They're both funny and amazing!

Reason why I should probably just draw horror

Above, is a picture of a monster I drew in college yesterday. It's for one of my Choice and Consequence books (the last one). I think it looks pretty good for what it's supposed to be even though it's not fully colored in. These are the kind of pictures I'm good at drawing and I hope you like this (if you feel disgusted or creeped out by it that's one of the reactions that this monster is supposed to invoke so that means it serves its purpose).

Series that takes time to like

In some cases, don't you like something after spending an extended time with it? It's kind of like this with me with Jojo's Bizarre Adventure after reading vol 1 of the collected series and watching more of it. Other examples for me are Final Fantasy, Persona, and Souls series. It isn't the same however with a series like Naruto which I can't seem to like no matter how much I watch it. Now I think that series that grab you almost instantly or on the spot and can carry it on are better than other series that take a noticeably long time to enjoy. What are series that you like that take a while to like? Comment below because I'd love to know and talk about it.

Next Book Trapped Body and Soul in a Video Game comes out next week!

My next book comes out sometime next week! You can read the unedited version here for free or you can buy the book next week (probably going to be $9.99) that comes with edits and behind the scenes extras which include in game lore and mechanics and detailed influences. Be sure to check back later to get a link to it and I'll probably make a book giveaway on Amazon later.
