I generally think that is not quite true, because if we think about it, the suspense of the NTR has not been IRL for almost a year now. Most of our theories and guesses for the "Next Update's contents" have been squarely limited to FOG for a good while.
"What will happen during the camping event?"
"How will inoda's ability be used?"
"Will Asuna suck Inoda's pig cock next update in FOG?"
"Will Asuna get pregnant with the Pig's Piggy Semen during the ritual? Will Yui look like Peppa Pig when she comes around?"
"When will we get the next combat scene?"
The biggest issue with Asuna and Inoda being locked away on the hotel, which Fujino did to hurry up the plot since otherwise we might never finish the game at the rhythm he was going, is that it was done during a dull of events inside FOG. The cave event was good, but currently we are lacking something to look forward in FOG to properly discuss.
It's also true that there is a lack of upcoming events from the side plots. Last update was good, I quite liked seeing all the side girls get a scene. (I kneel every day to pray for more scenes like Sugu's titjob from the last update.), but there wasn't anything set up for the next update.
Alice's plot is mostly finished, she is not really going to be going anywhere in terms of plot, except maybe getting a good scene in the future she has already been hypnotized.
Liz has the potential of doing something, she already raped Kirito once, but we don't really know if she has something planned for the future so we can't really talk about it.
Suguha continues to be a prime example of the divine gift that is human nature, allowing Fujino to feed us with her grace. But we really don't have much to talk about her next move, although we have seen that she is facing a roadblock called Kirito's " little dick mentality ", that doesn't allow him to assault his willing sort of sister.

And Sinon, although she has the biggest involvement on the plot of the game, maybe more than Asuna herself with her role as a member of the half-assed villain group, she also doesn't have something specific we can talk about.
This is probably the result of Fujino stretching himself thin to add a scene for every character (lol, Asuna's mother was pushed to the background harder than Hebishima.) last update. Normally he teases a scene or two for the next update, but this time we only have the vague mention of Asuna's tongue making out with the Pig's sphincter.
It's the only ending that matters for real
