I don't think there have been "trials of a solo player". As for the lack of attempts on his life, the only ones who would actually care about that wouldn't be near Kirito's level anyways. Aside from that, from a narrative perspective, I don't think there are any points that need to be driven home by "assassination attempts". Bottomline is, he is a solo player. That doesn't mean he never parties up. For one, trying to clear floor bosses solo seems like suicide (not to mention unnecessary). What makes him a solo player is that he's not part of a guild and does whatever he feels is necessary at the moment, without having to run it by anyone. Grinding for exp, materials/items, gathering information, he does that stuff by himself. His network is probably limited to information guys and notable frontline guilds, rather than "people he parties up with often". None of this means he can't party up with people who at that moment share the same goal he does. Nor does it mean he can't help out people he comes across on a whim. Doesn't make him any less of a solo player, because after all has been said and done, he'll bugger off and go do his own thing again.
