The adaptation of the Moonlight Black Cats arc was judged to be quite better than in canon, as in there, Kirito hid his level in fear of being ostracized by the guild members, even when those members will be highly desirable in a MMORPG that kills people.

This also means that, as Kirito puts it, Kayaba is ultimately "just as big a fuck-up as the rest of us" someone trying to make the best of a situation they no longer have control over.

That fact that the game is even glitchier than in canon also makes Kirito and Asuna's Deus ex Machina survival more believable.

Like Kirito, Kayaba is an Insufferable Genius who thinks he's Surrounded by Idiots and feels like he's at his best in a virtual world. Abridged Kayaba manages to reconstruct the dynamic the original had with Kirito, while also showing the latter's Character Development.
