But isn't your theory the game was originally Level 3 (Asuna's thoughts and focus) but starts to shift to Level 2 (Inoda's) is why people does not like the recent update? That does not make sense since Inoda's thoughts has been on full display for a while now. Most of the time when he is having conscious sex with Asuna we can hear his thoughts. That part had not changed.The plot itself was already complete, but because the initial design of this plot gives players a feeling at Level 1 and players are not used to it, so they want to see more Level 3 content, which they care more. That's why Fujino added more Level 3 content to meet players' needs.
I get POV is not the same as focus of the game. Even in Part 1, Kirito was just a noncharacter that he barely reacted to anything around him. But the focus was on his near discoveries of the corruption not on Asuna's corruption or Inoda. Asuna's parts were optional! For example nothing Inoda did to Asuna really had an effect. She still wanted to leave Inoda and go with Kirito to America. Which caused Inoda to do Lustiful Night as a desperate attempt to keep her but the effects of that were only explored in Part 2.
