I felt that was covered under: "the previous seasons characters besides Kirito are absent, so if you hate Kirito and watch for other characters it is bad..."

I mean, tbh the author couldn't have really changed Asuna's story unless he gave her the BS powers Kirito got in the end... and then it would have been so much worse a waste of time following Kirito to a self saving Asuna we wondered why hadn't saved herself earlier. It was only her imprisonment in one locale that allowed him a constant goal over days/weeks, and only those permissions that allowed him that win.
