I still find it hilarious that Fujino created an African covid and implemented a "Two weeks to slow the spread" and then to have Kirito tell Asuna that she should ignore the quarantine and just come home. Just makes me laugh.
Just a couple thoughts on the update though. First on Liz as she the side character I'm most interested in, if you missed it on 7/1 when you're controlling Liz and Inoda try to enter the last hospital room on the right and you'll get some inner monologue from Liz about why she's trying to set Asuna up with Inoda. Sure it might just be her justifying it to herself cuz she wants Kirito for herself, but atleast in her head she is doing this to "help Asuna" cuz she pities her. She's convinced herself that Asuna and Kirito are a bad match. For the rape, I mean she was about to rape Kirito, "the hunter becomes the hunted". I do hope that Liz continues to hold this over Inoda and doesn't forgive him for quite awhile. We all know Liz was gonna end up with Inoda eventually, but I hope Liz atleast isn't as forgiving as bird brain Asuna. I hope the equipment she gave Asuna to is to actually screw with Inoda as a bit of revenge.
As for Suguha, I was actually surprised she didn't purposely set Liz up to be raped by inoda and by what she said in the note that she wants Liz to "compete fairly" for Kirito. Not quite the yandere approach that I expected from her, but considering that previous threesome scene with Sinon I'm starting to think she's not the full psycho yandere we thought she was.
As for Asuna, I had figured Inoda would get impatient and would visit Asuna in Osaka, but locking her in the hotel with Inoda for 2 weeks I think will ultiamately get people the IRL content that people have been wanting faster. The doctor's note about Asuna having PTSD was another bit of hidden lore that I do love in these free roam RPGM games rather that it just being a VN that spoon feeds you everything. We all made jokes about Slutuna but turns out she actually is addicted to sexaul pleasure. We got teased with, in it's short content but also from its constant crashing, Asuna masurbating which is something that I've been wanting for months as we constantly see the status updates mentioning that she masurbates all the time. My prediction is that sometime in the next 2 weeks there will be a FOG maintenance and being unable to relieve her sexual frustation will finally push Asuna over the edge IRL.
