At least the characters are delusional or lacking heavily emotional intelligence and sociability. So much so, that the main characters like Kirito and Asuna treat them even better than real people (eventhough these characters know it's a game that is not real) The main characters risk their real lives to save and protect NPC's. The second positive is the naïve belief of the author that Non-Player Characters (with Artificial Intelligence) will develop emotions, personalities and their drama. The map is super helpful towars imagining what goes on. No players get hurt (a blood leech sticks to Asuna), no advancement towards defeating the seventh level is even hinted much less achieved. The author has taken almost all of the sword art (skills, competition-death game) out of this reset-ted progressive story. There are no sword skills or arts to casino betting, numeric Sudoku solving, etc.
It's called Sword Art because players learn sword skills, and fighting skills to survive and to be able to defeat monsters and other players, etc. Supposedly it's a "death game" because players who lose all of their HP (life stat) die in "real life" of this fictional story. It's impossible to believe that a Sword Art Online - "death game" is all about solving numerical Sudoku puzzles, casino betting, hot bath fetishes, foodie-restaurant-international food journey. Just imagine that Kirito (main character) takes 74 levels of the Aincrad Dungeon/building to complete at 2.5 years per volume, the author would need to live for 168 more years to complete this long and weak plotted reset-ted (restarted/retold) story.
It has a weak plot arc, from a non-sensical-illogical and senseless volume 6 (get the Dark Elves' keys stolen, 2 magnetic keys stolen that realeased the gold rubik's cube numeric Sudoku boss of level 6. Reiki Kawahara actually took 2.5 years to finish Volume 7 of the progressive series. It's even split into two volumes (7-8) so you only get to read half a story, half a floor, like what happened on Volume 5-6.
