But that IS the point. Because running right alongside Kirito's "Save the girl" narrative, is Suguha's own story. And her story isn't about Kirito, it's about herself.
You don't like Suguha's story? That's fine. Could Kirito's "Save the girl" story be done with any random guide? Yes. Maybe you like that story better, and would rather all the focus be put there. That's fine.
But the only person who can star in Suguha's story is Suguha, and if you chop that away, well, you chop away half of the story being told.
