Whoa, easy. I'm not blaspheming, I'm just expressing my real opinion, not trying to falsely please the author in any way. In my mind, the ideal distribution of content for updates is: 50-70% content for main characters (lol, most people came for them) and 30-50% for secondary characters (so that there is some variety and progression of the main story with them, but not to shove them in all the time and more than the main characters).
RPGM Sword Art Online: The Trap of Breath Concealed Magic [Part 2 v0.601] [Fujino]
1) The author had a holiday in March. There will be an update at the end of April.
2) Of course, you'll understand the worldbuilding a little better.

To be fair to the developer. Asuna is the star of the story. Any preview images will likely spoil any surprises. Better to get spoil some side characters' stories than not leave any surprises for the actual release. He has done this before. Sometimes he won't give any preview pics because they are all full of spoilers.
It's just a preview image. He tends to not show any previews on the main scenes to not spoil it. I prefer he not spoil it as well.

That perspective doesn't quite align with mine. It seems you're leaning towards a more cinematic experience rather than a game. But remember, Fujino is creating an RPGM game, not a movie or a visual novel. Having secondary characters is typical in this genre. Realistically, it's not feasible to solely focus on the main characters in every update, as other characters contribute to the entire storyline and enrich the overall flow. I'm confident that if you wait for a few updates and play the game, it won't feel like the main characters are being neglected. Try to see the bigger picture
All right. Këko and Liz are examples of good secondary characters that directly affect the plot. I don't feel bad about the scenes and time spent on them. But why Alice (a completely non-canon character added because she won a poll, and it seems that even the author himself is not interested in her at all) and Suguha (she lost interest after the first part, because she was fucked in all her holes and nothing in her story will change except for a new guy who will fuck her) is not clear at all, and they themselves are bland and uninteresting.That perspective doesn't quite align with mine.

I see your point about Alice, but without Sugu, I would argue that the game would just be a walking sim for Kirito between Asuna scenes, which would make him basically a completely empty character and the whole story short and boring. That's not what Fujino was aiming for. It's an SAO parody, not an Asuna spin-off. Sugu is the second main girl by the devs' choice and also in the franchise, at least that should be respected without unwarranted criticism imho.

It is true that Asuna is the star but if he only focuses on the Asuna - Cuckito - Inoda triad it would no longer make much sense since in Fujino's works he has always been characterized with NTR everywhere, whether secondary characters or NPCs, they went through those situations. and the mc when interacting with them raised doubts, that is why those ridiculous complaints were for worse than anything else, if he ends up eliminating the suguha bad girl plot it would be a shame, that is why I always believe that an author should not allow the rest stick your nose into your work even though they feed you there are ways

Hoping that means the update is for April 29th JST time. Would mean it'll be a sunday over here.
Facts, my dude. As someone who came mainly for the Sugu content and barely cares about the main plot, I say we have enough of Asuna sidelining everyone in Canon, let Fujino cook...also, who the fuck is "Këko", did the guy complaining somehow completely botched Kyouko's name XD?
Pretty much, but sadly this pretty much confirms those complains will never die. No matter what Fujino does, the moment he does an update that has content of the other girls, even if the previous one was already Asuna-centered, there will be people who think like this and get mad pointlessly. Unless Fujino does a lot of Inoda and Asuna in every single update and gives next to no screentime to the other girls, it will just keep happening, so yeah, Fujino should honestly just ignore them, but at this point we sadly know he pays them way too much attention...

He usually updates around the same date and time he posts progress reports you can guess from there when the update will drop(there can be exceptions tho).

No way to satisfy everyone when your audience is so big. Another price of being famous. Best he can do is please the largest percentage of his audience. But still sucks to deal with this kind of pressure.
BTW Keiko is Silica's real name.

Jesus Christ
its been two months
hope fujino have a good rest
there are a lot of complains came from CI-EN and from this place (Dunno if fujino lurking here and read 560 pages of complains and rants in English)
most of the complains in CI-EN came from Chinese fans for sure
as I recall maybe a month ago or so? some rouge Chinese fan came to this game thread complaining with broken MTL English
with so many complains every updates maybe that's why Fujino cant keep up with pressure and need a break
we need to help him so he can manage the complains and the opinions without to much pressure
hope he can finish this game with his own vision and maybe after this we will came back to Sakura's route

I think this is his 1st big game development with global audience involving paid members and have many fans compared to before in FGO and Scaha game seriesJust check. Looking into the future, every new update will be a disappointment.

With popularity comes complaints. I thought it was shocking how this game blew up. But maybe the bigger surprise is that people aren't doing what Fujino is. Using an existing franchise for eroge, why not? It is honestly puzzling how lewding waifus is so popular in fanmade doujins and art but not relatively simple rpgmaker or visual novel games.
