At least their version has some plot at all.

[@NautilusGray]

They wouldn’t be able to. Having the king married to the “child bride” kinda ruins everything considering she actually gets married to the mc later.

[@NautilusGray]

@@ЯБезымянный-о5фin the light novels it does have plot, but unfortunately it’s not translated well in the anime and takes forever to get into it. At first the mc is able to take out enemies no problem like most mcs do, but then he comes across some that he can’t beat and it snowballs into a war, and then during said war a major city in a neighboring country gets destroyed and the country tries to blame it on the mc as if it was his fault, even though he saved them. It starts getting pretty good, but it takes a bit to get there.

[@zeph769]

@@NautilusGray Knowing how they repurpose gross awful scenes like the incest plotline in the Fairy Dance arc of SAO, there is no way in hell they would keep the protagonist getting married to the child bride (which from what I've seen in other comments is unfortunately exactly what happened), so this point is rendered moot. In SAO Abridged they very much do drastically changing shit unsalvageable content so I have no idea why you feel so differently about this one

[@NautilusGray]

@@zeph769 oh yes, they repurposed it from having the child marry someone 4 years older than her to her marrying someone that’s like 40 years older than her… are you even listening to yourself? They took something that was only slightly bad because they were around the same age and made it 10 times worse by having her married to an old man. And you are commending them for it? And by the way, the mc refuses to marry her until she’s older in the books, when she has fully thought about it and has the mental capacity to make that choice. Oh, but the old man married her while she was 11. So much better right? Is that what you wanted 😂 And you do realize that suguha and Kazuto are only cousins right?
