Pretty much. At the end of the day, SAO is a Light Novel adaptation that happened to be in the right place at the right time. If it hadn't been something that kicked off an entire genre, and got people's attentions with its premise, SAO probably would've been seen for what it is- a fairly bog-standard Light Novel adaptation. It's not amazing but it's not completely terrible either.
