Accel World

Checked it out of boredom, but this looks like a really promising series. Interesting setting, and the main character is well done too.
Can't wait for more :)

Whoah nelly irrational anger.
[spoiler]Look, obvious the kid has a tough life. Small, pudgy, picked on relentlessly. He knows that he's helpless and feels completely trapped, and obviously he think that his friends are helping him out of pity. If that's true or not, we'll find out, but he obviously feel that way which just makes him feel even more useless.

Yeah, he should probably apologize, but right as he's about to he suspect that she only brought him lunch for the very reason he didn't want it, and by that small exchange of looks it seems as though he was right.

Was he in the wrong for slapping the lunch away? Absolutely. Does he have a (tragic) reasoning behind it? Absolutely. A character isn't human and relatable without flaws to make him one.[/quote]

You're looking way too into what I said. It was just an exaggeration laced with a hint of sarcasm. The only real point I was trying to get across was that he's a douche.

Sarcasm doesn't convey well in text form Truth.

Perhaps a less strong wording is needed, then >.>

I know. I've been aware of this since internet first became accessible in my household. Yet, here I am still doing it. I'm too sarcastic and too snarky for my own good.

Honestly, I'd thought the strong wording would be the ticket to knowing it's sarcasm. I mean, who actually shows that kind of anger at a tv show?

A lot of people...

I like him, and I am very curious how he is going to act later on down the line when he finds out that girl is

in love with him.

It can make for some interesting character development.

Ima keep rooting for him.

Honestly,

I don't think she is, not in a romantic way at least.
