sometimes i wonder why those japanese authors think that watching such a perfect hero is interesting to do. Same with Ichika from Infinite Stratos. I´d much rather watch someone like Klein, who has his flaws, follow him as he grows stronger, tries to get a girl and whatever. With Kirito, everything´s just gravitating towards him without any effort. Sigh, now im reminded of Sasuke ...
"She's the only non-loli girl in the show, your honor!" will be my defense in court

There are MCs in shows that are utterly miserable and shouldn't be the heroes in the first place. In other series the hero starts relatively weak and gradually grows stronger, which might be the main type in shounen shows. Then there are those who are good to begin with. You just need to pick the stories you watch, which is great because that way everybody will have something to watch. Needless to say, if the original author is worth his ink, a story can be interesting and exciting in all the three cases. Like MOG said, compared to Mahouka, Kirito has been continuously struggling from one challenge to the next. In any case in my personal opinion a competent MC possessing a harem, if a harem he must have, is much better than a loser having one. At least in SAO's case it's not impossible to see why the girls would flock to Kirito. Compare that to IS, where the dude gets a harem simply because he happens to be the only guy in the school full of girls, despite his brain making depleted uranium look fluffy in comparison.
