I mean, is EXACTLY because of that, Fujino just doesn't know how to write a complex long story nor does he really know much about SAO beyond surface knowledge, so both mix up and create the constant nonsense and plot-holes in this game XD Is easy, especially for people who only started following him with this game and didn't really bother looking at his other works, to forget that he's an expert and lover of insta-corruption 0 effort NTR, and that despite his work in SAO he still prefers doing games that way (Both mini-games he made during the time he has been making SAO were exactly that after all, even if he never released the 2nd one). The reason he didn't use cliches like that on Asuna was because if he did he would have made her fall instantly and he has always been aiming to drag out the plot as much as he can by any means necessary, is why the 'soft-reset' of Part 2 happened and why so many people were mad, Fujino realized that if he followed through with how he left things at the end of Part 1 then Part 2 wouldn't really have lasted more then 2 updates or so as it would just be Asuna getting fucked all around the map by Inoda like Sakura during the Fate game part 2/Sakura Chapter, with some cuts to see the other girls also getting fucked from time to time XP
