Sword Art Online

[DarthEnderX]

If he has Sinon save Pale Rider, then there won´t be any progress.

Well, he'd know Death Gun's user name at least.

No better way to gain fans.

Except his fans all think he's a girl. And if they see him swimming naked they'll realize that he's...not.

Kirito's personality suddenly changed between the old show and this, and not in a good way.

Agreed.

he's clinging to Sinon like some sticky n00b

Because he is. In SOA, he was never a noob, because he'd played the beta extensively before the game started.

I imagine he's going to leave the game to go back to his harem when he's finished with Death Gun, so what good is making friends here?

Well obviously, any new harem he acquires here will transfer with him when he goes back. Duh.
