There's one arc that's rather good: Mother's Rosario. If only by virtue of not having Kirito as the protagonist, but Asuna instead, along with Yuuki, who is as badass as Kirito (in fact, said to be even better than him) yet far more likeable and interesting.

There's also Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online, which so far doesn't seem to have a trace of Kirito, and looks good as well.
