Parallel thinking; simply being mindful of the area you're in, not some magic skill.
Sword Art; Sword Slash: Swinging a sword is not a skill, it's the intended use.
Gotta love authors who complicate things when there's no need to do so lol. Good to see Sora actually use his gun finally, and especially good to see that he can't just kill the horny orc with it.

I'm guessing parallel thinking is have two entire seperate thought processes. One for planning attacks and one for dodging every attack. Idk would probably make sense if had a 3D spatial monitoring skill that needs concentration.
Might be me mistaking the series but skills were basically auto movements. So him using sword slash as a skill executes a perfect slash with no actual control from him but with a fixed trajectory

Actually, those are his skills. Parallel thinking is used sometime ago when he was sleeping and on guard duty at the same time. Sword slash also from his swordmanship.

Parallel thinking is a skill he bought to multitask without much effort (yes one can train their minds to do but he has a system cheat to do it)
As for sword art I mostly agree with you as he's been traing so a simple sword move like a slash should not need to use system skill for

As @dragonlordadn said above skills are generally automatic actions based around a given thing. "Sword Skills" don't require him to have learned and practiced for years, but instead is able to use a sword "practically" and in combat simply by putting "points" into it.
Parallel Thinking, in terms of this manga, allows him to fully focus on two distinctly different things at the same time, without having the prerequisite mental capacity and training to do so.
The author isn't simply complaining things, if the author DIDN'T utilize this form of "skills" the MC wouldn't be able to use a sword unless he trained in it for years, which the author could arbitrarily skip over with a montage or simply saying that it happened, but he wouldn't have met the two girls and traveled with them, and any other "time" based things would have already ended. 'sides, who would he have found to teach him? How would he have paid them? He was forcibly removed from the castle and the town.

After saving Sora's life, that assassin probably could've asked nicely and gotten Sora to come along willingly, but I guess assassins with high-level stealth usually aren't big on friendliness or diplomacy.
