Yes, the light novels are where its at. Actually you will find most people that bitch about an anime adapted from a light novel haven't read the actual novel and so their argument about the story being bad is invalid most of the time since they haven't seen the author's original work. Very few light novels are adapted properly into an anime, the manga versions are usually more accurate. Actually if you want a more comedic and less serious version try Log Horizon anime that started last week. It pays homage to SAO but is more RPG-esque and comical.

And what are the real world factors against that? It was established that they were kept alive on these special beds and that they wouldn't last that long since eventually the body would shut down without the essential factors despite the methods taken. It was literally a race against time even though many didn't know it. And pretty much my main problem is the same as in any other series, "Maturity". Action animanga aren't that good for showing maturity due to age. Even though 2 years go by in the series, we don't really feel that much of a difference from the cast. Kirito is always shown as this shady, calm, cool and overwhelming swordsman.
