The guy wrote the thing when he was 16 and suffered from chuuni syndrome. The reason that SAO is popular is for the same reasons that shows like Naruto or Bleach are popular. Light Novels are anything but well-written (with a few minor exceptions like Spice and Wolf). For the most part, think of them as manga-artist wannabes who can't draw.
