Although most fans prefer Aincrad, Sword Art Online's story just kept getting better from Alfheim Online to Gun Gale Online and then to Underworld.

Summary

Later arcs in Sword Art Online move away from Aincrad, which disappoints some fans who only cared about that world.
Each subsequent world builds upon the previous ones, offering a different perspective and improving the storytelling.
Underworld introduces new elements and dynamics that wouldn't have been possible in Aincrad, enhancing the overall Sword Art Online experience.
