Gotta admit the consensus really is it feels really dumb how after everything we've gone through in 1, we're back to massages and handjobs in 2. Even the latest thighjob was just kind of an L for Inoda, given he'd already done so much more and even during his very first event in the 1st game. I understand how basically for Kirito he's up against a conflicted Asuna, a scheming Liz, overbearing Kyoko (asuna's mom), and the "mastermind" behind it all Inoda which is going to eventually make Asuna go for Inoda instead but I feel like that's so much effort to be put into the 2nd game, it feel like you'd need that more during the setup rather than now when we're all invested already.
Also just as a side theory, I think I get where the preview comes from now, probably Asuna tells Liz about what the cold medicine did to Kirito (makes extra horny) and Liz just uses that and sets up a thing with Inoda to have Asuna take the medicine and "consensually" decides to fuck Inoda again. Probably Kirito does something dumb and pisses her off which just gives her more reason to let loose/ get back at him and Inoda does another victim thing which makes her pity him even more so. All that should culminate into the preview that was previously shown. (That or it's just strange dream 3 and we're going back to letting him fondle her chest again for 8546 time because what even was the first game for at this rate)
