Spoiler for plot summary:

Basically ragging on about unrequited love of the squires for the most of the plot. mainly focused on Ronie (Kirito's squire) having a unrequited love towards Kirito that will never be realized, because he only has Asuna in his heart. The author really seems to like putting characters through suffering...

Teiza, Eugeo's squire, had fallen for Eugeo but after he died she resolved to never love someone else again, as it was a miracle for her and Ronie to have met those two. Ronie made a similar oath. Another guy (Synthesis Knight #49) had proposed to Teiza however, and he's a good guy; but both him and Teiza knows most of her attraction towards him was because he resembled Eugeo in a way, though he doesn't mind Teiza still loves Eugeo. Teiza's conflicted with her feelings and Ronie couldn't help.
On the other hand, Teiza suggested to Ronie with Kirito's position as the spokesperson of the Human race in Underworld (with maybe even more power than the Emperor), polygamy can apply to him and he can have maybe at least 3-4 wives. So even if as Ronie says with the many people from UW that loves him (by this point includes: a Lady General of the Human army; Alice that left UW but will eventually come back; Solterina Celurute, Kirito's Sempai from back when they're in the Academy; and finally Asuna) Teiza thinks Ronie still have a chance. Ronie seems to not be against it if it does turn out this way, but she doesn't think Kirito will ever have eyes for any woman other than Asuna (and/or Alice; Alice seems to be written as a serious contender for Kirito's love in-universe...).

Onto non-harem/romance stuff, there's another murder mystery plotline. Some organisation is trying to bring UW into a war-torn state once more, back to how the world was designed to create conflict. They killed off a human and pinned it onto Goblin visitors to the city. Additionally, Kirito is planning on breaking/improving the UW system to turn it from a closed 'game' field surrounded by walls into a entire planet. This plan is semi-stalled because of the recent murder and plotting however.

btw is that up anywhere. I don't see it on bt.
