Someone probably complained a lot about that and he was obedient for the next few volumes, and then his hands got itchy again and made time skip official in Alicization arc. >_>
Eh, there's no way to avoid timeskip for Kirito. Remember, time for him is moving along thousands of times faster than everyone else in the real world. You'd literally have to dedicate a couple volumes to Kirito with every chapter of material for Asuna without time skips. As it is, most of volume 10 is already dedicated to Kirito's side of things, most of which are materials that wasn't in the web novel - which had a straight 2 year timeskip for Kirito from the events in vol.9.

He was always like:"she's the most important for me, bla bla" and now he didn't see her for 8 years and its suddenly:"yeah, no big deal. Everythings fine.". Additionally they decided to go to USA together in Vol. 9 Interlude and stuff.
Because it's not true. The total time period for Kirito covered in vol.10 is 2 years, which saw him and Eugeo make their from that tiny village to being members in a larger town's guard contingent, and from there entering into the imperial academy, 750km away from the village they first started at, and ends with the end of their first year there.

And no, he's not exactly fine with being separated from the rest of friends and Asuna for so long, but there is nothing for him to RESOLVE POWER through this time either.
