Hah... all of that sounds uncomfortably familiar to me. My old grinding schedule was a nightmare in retrospect.

[If it hadn't been life or death he'd probably have given up and joined a party long before he partnered with Asuna. The solo thing would never have lasted as long as it had.

Then again, people wouldn't have had issues with his beta status if that was the case, so it would never have been necessary anyway.]

It's not that bad. It's... actually something I think I enjoyed. The more you level up, the further out you can go, to new dungeons or higher-level areas. By getting stronger, you can actually get out and see the world, you know?

No, I'm with you there. It's grinding safely in the same area that gets exhausting. Mapping out new areas is a lot more fun.

Even dungeons you've long-since memorized can be fun if you take some care to make them more interesting.

That's easier said than done, and not all that efficient, either, if you have to put extra effort into making them that way.

[she shrugs.]

Depends on the party. Yura one time decided halfway through a dungeon that we were having a picnic at the next empty room.

Yeah, I won't deny that that's the biggest issue. I used to grind solo, and I'm not always the best at entertaining myself.

... Try going to one with your girlfriend. Just to sightsee. It might be a bit more fun.

Actually, we have done that- lots of times. With us it usually ends up being more of a competition. Who can kill the most monsters in a short amount of time, who can get the most drops... stuff like that.

It does beat the monotony a bit.

Well, not quite what I had in mind, but if it works... As long as it doesn't feel like grinding.
huaaaaagh: (I guess I'm a bit obsessed)

It made enough of a difference that I didn't mind. Asuna's good at that. I didn't even care that much that she usually beat me.
