This has repeatedly been debunked by the author, especially considering that Kuroyukihime came from an unhappy, loveless family.

* FandomRivalry: There's a relatively minor, but still significant one with ''LightNovel/SwordArtOnline'', due to both being written by Reki Kawahara. ''Accel World'' is usually considered to be better-written overall by fans, or that at least it's significantly better in the areas where ''SAO'' is considered most lacking. Namely, better main characters (especially the protagonist), more coherent plot, and less [[PanderingToTheBase Otaku pandering]] (although this doesn't mean it doesn't have flaws in any of these areas). Plus, ''SAO'' is massively popular ([[BrokenBase albeit extremely divisive]]), while ''Accel World'' only has a niche audience, so it has a bit of [[FanOfUnderdog an underdog appeal]]. Another important thing is that critics have given mixed reviews for the first light novels in the ''Accel World'' series. The fact that ''SAO'' is getting more support in the anime and merchandising areas doesn't help either.
