You're fine. Your post reads like a much kinder take on Demon Slayer to what people used to say about both Attack on Titan and Sword Art Online: "baby's first anime." Because in 2013 both of those kind of blew up.
As someone who remembers .hack//SIGN, SAO was cool for being like the next version or iteration of that. And Attack on Titan was just cool. Sure, the second season fell off a bit, but it was overall good stuff. And I liked most of SAO... minus the SA scenes. The characterisations of the girls left a bit to be desired, but the books were written by a pretty young dude in a culture where holding hands with a girl is actually taboo so... I get it? Anyway, the sci-fi stuff is what appeals to me. Specifically the time dilation introduced in the third season (and plays out a lot more in the fourth).
