I don't understand why people hate Sword Art Online.

Just a few weeks ago, I was talking with a few friends of mine over our mutual interest in anime. One mentioned that the anime that had led her into the anime/manga world was Shingeki no Kyoujin(Attack on Titan). Another mentioned that he, too, was led into the anime world through that. The discussion went all round, and when I said the thing that had started me off was, of course, Sword Art Online, the picture of disgust on my friends' faces could not be clearer.

One of them openly declared that Sword Art Online was, quote on quote, "a trash anime", while another only mildly agreed, interjecting the fact that "Reki should've stopped at Season One. Season Two was sooooo boring." Another tried to defend it saying that it was a great anime but was shot down by the majority, who commented that Reki was always recycling and milking the plot, and that Ordinal Scale was the largest cringefest they'd ever seen.

I wonder why people hate it. It has good art and the plot is well made, and adheres to the light novels well. The only problem is the recycling of plot, but I dont feel like that's a problem. I feel like people just say they hate it just cuz some others hate it too, but why do they?
