I think that the reason why we had all the SAO side stories under the Aincrad arc was because of the anime making everything chronological. The reason we have a CBT section for Kirito is because the CBT is technically a pre-Aincrad arc event in any publication, since no story covered it, just mentioned it here and there.

I personally don't want to edit 100+ pages just to edit the chronology headings (again), so I'd opt for leaving the chronology as it is and stick to just replacing the arc categories with something more appropriate.

@Wraiyf MR is as terrible a choice as any other, seeing as Caliber doesn't really have much to do with MR, aside from a couple of paragraphs when Kirito uses Excaliber. There's also the fact that the book consists of 2 SAO stories, aside from Caliber. The only way I can see vol 8 being categorised is to have it in two categories, one of which would be a general category for New ALO side stories.
