I don't think we are in a story sag but I do think we are in a point of building up to something big. The doubt planned in Asuna about Kirito, Asuna gradually seeking out Inoda's company, Kirito becoming more comfortable with not spending time with Asuna. All those things are building up to some big event that will shatter the friendzone barrier for Inoda is my guess. So if I am right for the next few updates nothing significant will happen to Asuna. Just small changes where she leans more towards Inoda and less towards Kirito. Then all those small changes will cause one big event to change everything.Yeah part 2 has none of the tantalizing stuff of the first one, like okay liz is getting with Inoda for reasons. I hope lately we're just in a story sag and things will be more nuanced soon.
Now I think about it. The Part 1 interactions near the end for weird. It is weird Asuna let Inoda do so much to her for the "practice for a girlfriend" idea. I know the real reason is for Fujino to have some hot scenes for us but story-wise it was out of place. If you got rid of those scenes up to the Lustful Night I doubt it would affect the story at all! But anyway, now is the real time for Inoda to mold Asuna into his obedient sex toy with lasting consequences!
