The update left everyone speechless—no theories, no wild debates, not even a word about praising the best side character.

Yeah, not much to theorize about. As things are going, the story will be on rails for the next 3 to 4 updates.
For the main story, that of Asuna and Inoda, we will pretty much have to just wait for Asuna to find an excuse to fall on Inoda cock. Which kind of makes the long buildup to this overdone and stretched to the utmost ranges in terms of development time.
The way Fujino build the whole setup of Asuna and Inoda is clever, but at the same time repetitive. It's clear that we are headed for another rainy night type of scenario with the whole quarantine setup.
Also, given that most of the side characters had their plot and events developed even less, deepens further, the sense of push towards repetitive story telling.
In one of the latest blogs entries of Inoda on Kyoko there are a few words on that Kyoko is trying to get Inoda on the phone, but he is avoiding it due to his situation. I guess this one way that Fujino recognizes that he is pushing away the side characters events as much as possible to satisfy the obsession of the audience with Asuna plot. A plot that is starting to circle around for the third time.
I would like to see Inoda put in a tough place for once. And it can be done by Kyoko making a return and visiting Asuna while also making an offer to Inoda to stay with her for a few days at the hotel. This way we get some more interesting developments with Inoda trying to double time Kyoko and Asuna while also having a plausible reason for being present at the same hotel with Asuna. Where he will need to ninja his way with Asuna and Kyoko.
This being said, my predictions for the events of the upcoming in game days until Sunday are :
1. Asuna and Inoda will have sex IRL on Sunday
2. Kirito will watch Asuna being railed by Inoda on the camera feed set up in the hotel room
3. Kirito will have a sexual encounter with Alice in FOG or IRL
4. Liz will get to have sex with Inoda and Kirito in FOG on the same day and get to compare both of them
5. Sugu will make some progress with her plan for abusing her relationship with Kirito
6. Sinon will either corner Kirito some more or return to her plot with the council and include Hebishima girl in her plans
7. Kyoko will get 2 or 3 more blog posts with some video instead of just pictures
8. Alice will maybe get some 1 or more hypnosis or netorase scenes
All in all, my opinion is that any major plot wist will happen only after Asuna gets to IRL events. And that the plot wist will involve the council and the foreshadowed antennas that FOG owners installed IRL.
