So there's a part 1, a part 2 and a Saikey Translations part 1.
Which one(s) should I download to start from the beginning?

It's fair if that's how you see it. However, the same is even more true for Inoda in this game, but to a much bigger extent. The way the script is written, the whole of Part 2 revolves around delivering Inoda perfect opportunities to score his goals. Every character that interacts with him serves only this purpose, including Kirito. The same is true for every situation he is in. It's so forced and predictable, and therefore boring. Tbh, Kirito doesn't even feel like he is actually involved in the main plot, but more like a useless NPC serving as a simple story device. At least in the original series, there was some dynamic between different characters, struggles, etc., but here, it's just a straight railway.
I'm not a fan of SAO; I only watched the first season, but to me, he didn't really feel any different from any other shounen character.
Edith:
Ironically, I get your points because I have the same feeling in Part 2 with Inoda. However, in Part 1, he was the only decent character in my eyes. He actually had some development, and it was interesting to follow his approaches. In Part 2, he is just annoying and flat.

I suspect this is Fujino accelerating the plot here. In retrospect I think it would be better to create some more drama and misunderstandings. The nun scene could imply more of such things in the future. I hope my conjectures about feminizing Kirito would be realized, where he is demonstrated to be incapable in front of Asuna. It isn’t that far a reach because in GGO such a form of him exists.
Start by Part 1 either Original or Saikey but the Saikey got rid of SAO Ref for sale purpose although it came with decrypted assets so it does run a tad better

The big house you usually log in in fog. If you look from the front door, it's the second right room
Thanks, but now I have another problem: I'm in the real world and when I click on the bed I don't go back to FOG.
The drama and misunderstanding with the Brothel is probably going to get further expanded on. The idea was already put there near the beginning of Part 2, since we have seen Inoda spying on Kirito, Klein, and Alice heading into the underground. It's nice to know it was finally brought up, cause I was wondering if that entire plot line was going to be dropped or not. Ideally the stories should connect/merge a little bit so that as you mentioned, they can create more drama and misunderstandings. An obviously easy one is whenever Kirito finally goes back down there, and Suguha/Leafa ends up taking him to her room. Whether Suguha/Leafa successfully has sex with Kirito in FOG or not doesn't matter. What ends up obviously mattering is if Inoda brings Asuna with him to see Kirito go into said brothel with Suguha/Leafa. It would be even better if Leafa meets up with Asuna so she knows who she is, but that one I don't really know if it'll happen or not.

Good update. I loved that the kitchen scene went as far as it did right there by Kirito, Inoda is starting to really use his powers to get away with whatever he wants now. And the massage scene was good. I think the update could have done without the completely random 'blacked bad end Asuna' dream though, and maybe something more to the IRL parts instead. Some creeping by Inoda, some mild harassment, something. It looks like Inoda is doing these things, but we only get the faintest hint based on what the workers in RECT ar saying. And there was no Sugu, no Sinon, not even any mini stories from random civilians.
Was it just me or was there no anxiety gain this update?

Is there anything to do on day 20? Or is it just a bug that let me proceed to 6/20?
It says to find Liz in the warehouse but the maps seem pretty empty.

Yeah, you're not supposed to make it to 6/20. Also make sure you look for the pigeon/chicken in the memory/recollection room everytime you go there. Once you see it, that's the indicator that you're at the end of the current update. It's usually sitting right beside the Yellow Orb with Anxiety written on it.
