I think the biggest issue was Fujino starting to make 'polls', especially the character one that unnecessarily bloated the game before the big issues he had at the start of Part 2 happened: Kyouko and Sinon WERE always gonna be part of the game, they were teased since back in Part 1, but Alice and Liz for example were only added after they won a character poll, then he also added Administrator/Quinella on top of that (Which was the only one that was his own initiative to be fair).I play every type of game there is, and man. There are only the same game, just with different characters and different scenes... Few devs really have history and development like Shinachiku, Acerola, BBQ and there are 2 more that are being developed, one this year and another for 2025, there was still Black Rune which The dev disappeared and never came back as he was focused on a lot of things.
I don't mind having scenes all the time, but there should be a story and its development, and I'm like that in manga too... I don't read when there's sex right away, and this SAO is only like that because the dev releases its game every month, then fans end up getting angry because there are so few scenes, which I don't blame, but it can't be exaggerated.
The problem with this Part 2 is that there are a lot of characters that Fujino added and the development of Asuna and Inoda was a little later... Like Alice, Kyoko and now Sinon, I don't mind that and I like the development, but when there is only dialogue and few actions, scenes and/or something to do, and you just read there and almost nothing happens. But it's a shame that people don't have patience, if they had patience this game could be one of the best with the plans that Fujino had planned.
Then when all the complaints started getting to him he started making more polls that he hasn't been managing well (As shown when BOTH polls so far weren't 'locked' so anyone could vote as many times as they wanted from their google account instead of just once per account), and the backlash of people complaining again and again for the lack of patience and these polls has made him go back and forth a bit too much.
