I think i get what the author wants to do with those last little arcs:
Before the "problematic one" was Misono with her comphet and double timing and now it's Asuna crating "problems" by being very insecure and overthinking, and i can understand it's Asuna first real relationship after all and not only she feels the an inferiority complex (Misono is this perfect amazing being for her, even after all the dumb things she did in the first half of the manga) but she also wants to be accepted and reconized by others with no falsehoods. She's being very stupid, but It's the job of a teenager to be realy dumb and make some cringe mistakes, so they can learn.
BUT man i wish it was all just a little better writen/planned, it feels like Asuna is just running in circles for the last 8 months and learned next to nothing, becoming evem MORE insecure with time and thats just a little frustrating to read.
I hope this whole arc will result in the girl getting more confident and smart, just as Misono arc lead to her accepting her fellings and sexuality. And after the two leads have theys arcs to get stronger/wiser, we can get some arcs about them dealing with family/friends/society together.
Big thanks for the translation!
