That's why it's weird and funny to watch, because it's how Fujino is spinning in the story swamp because he added too many characters. If Kirito, Asuna, and Inoda had been in the game, there would have been far fewer questions about their behavior, even if Fujino had changed the characters beyond recognition. But Fujino added a bunch of other characters that behave strangely.
Suguha could have told Kirito about everything a long time ago, but Fujino used a rather weak excuse - "I don't want to hurt Kirito, I need to prepare him for this." The question is, which is better - to abruptly pull out a tooth or loosen it for hours?
Liz - she knows almost the most about what's going on between Inoda and Asuna (only Asuna knows more), but she doesn't do anything, for a reason....? And for what reason? If Liz wants Kirito for herself, then it would be easiest for her to stick this knife sharply and harshly. After all, Liz doesn't have the task of saving Kirito's fragile ego, and it would be easier to break Kirito and take him for herself.
Sinon - she knows everything and knows that Kirito's mental disabilization will help her get the SEED out of him, but for some reason she's hanging around him and playing a mysterious slut who's more interested in watching Kirito get embarrassed than doing her job.
Agil - my God, you're Kirito's friend... He saved you... Agil knows everything about Kirito, thanks to Sinon, but continues to play a mysterious character with a couple of lines. Why is it needed at all?

Klein and Alice - well, I don't even know what to say. They look like a training ground for what will happen to Kirito and Asuna in the future. At least in one of the endings.
All these characters are like furniture in the very room where Inoda is fucking Asuna, and Kirito is sitting with his back to her, headphones on his head. And they just don't do anything. Why are they all needed in the game, if the main essence of the game is Kirito, Inodа and Asuna?
By the way, did you notice that Kyoka simply disappeared from the game as soon as she began to threaten the relationship between Inoda and Asuna? Logically, upon hearing about the quarantine, Kyoka could have used power, connections, and money to break into the hotel (not a bad idea if Fujino wanted to start building a harem) or get Asuna out of the hotel, but

Kyoka simply disappeared...
I wonder how Kyoko will enter the harem if 2 weeks of quarantine, her character has not changed in any way and did not participate in the events? Will Inoda connect her to the game and put a bracelet on her? A suit? Give her a potion? Or will some magical thing happen? * heavy sigh...*
