What do you call focusing on Sugu's love for Kirito across the entire arc? That's a new focus alongside Kirito trying to save Asuna. And the very act of giving more focus to one area means less focus in another. Isn't that watering down a supposed main character's story?

How? Is it bad writing or watered down?

Two plotlines does not a convoluted story make.
I'm sorry, but I consider Kirito's goal in trying to save Asuna to be watered down when the story seems more focused on Sugu's concerns. Look at Sugou. He's supposed to be the main villain in this arc, but gets so little screentime and is largely considered a joke. Why not develop him as well as he's central to the supposed ultimate goal of this arc of Kirito trying to save Asuna.
