I checked out June's story. That's not NTR, that's cheating. NTR would be if Liam were cheating on June long distance.Both FMC stories were NTR, though June's was really soft NTR
Isn't NTR when a person is cheating on their significant other, and cucking them?I checked out June's story. That's not NTR, that's cheating. NTR would be if Liam were cheating on June long distance.
(I say this not to kinkshame or anything, just to clarify).
The distinction is that (at least for me, opinions may differ) the protagonist should be the one getting cheated on if it's to be classed as Netorare - in the case of June's game, I know basically nothing about Liam and you don't play as him, so it's really just cheating.Isn't NTR when a person is cheating on their significant other, and cucking them?
I honestly don't know the definitions well enough, but that's as far as I understand it
And if so, June is cheating on Liam, and sorta cucking them
But I did say it's soft NTR
The other girl's story is a clearer case of NTR
Unless NTR is just when a man does that, not the woman? is there a different term when a woman is cheating?
I just remembered that another user once told me that netorare is when the player character is getting cheated on, regardless of genderThe distinction is that (at least for me, opinions may differ) the protagonist should be the one getting cheated on if it's to be classed as Netorare - in the case of June's game, I know basically nothing about Liam and you don't play as him, so it's really just cheating.
Consider a game where a man is the protagonist and he sleeps with multiple women while married. Would you call that Netorare?
It's not gender dependent, if Liam had been cheating on June instead of the other way around it would absolutely be Netorare - but since all you see is the perspective of June, then it's not. She is absolutely cuckolding him, but it has no emotional impact for the player, since we don't play as Liam.
*edit* - I play the other game too (I assume you meant Henry/Emma) and that's an even more clear cut case of just plain old cheating (although almost not since she's in a terrible relationship and should just leave, omg). I didn't play long enough to see what the outcome is but I assume she just sleeps with Landon while possible stringing Henry along?
So do I. The platform is just that a platform. The writing skill separates the good ones from the bad one.I actually love them. The good ones tend to be far more exciting than most other games I play. We need more not less. I'm pretty sure this genre is much easier to develop than most others due to the reduced need for assets, hence it's popularity. Of course that also means it gets more slop, but hey that's a price I'm willing to pay
And to clarify, it's absolutely not my intent to criticise the game or anything, it's just that I like playing pure NTR games and this one has no pure NTR paths that I saw. I really don't like NTS so having it lead from that into NTR puts me off entirely unfortunately.I just remembered that another user once told me that netorare is when the player character is getting cheated on, regardless of gender
So you're correct, I just forgot about that
In that case, yes the game is mostly cheating instead of NTR, at least the FMC stories
But I think the MC stories might lean into NTR as well, at least in some paths
Maybe quantifying the NTR of the game is far more subjective, really depending on which choices you make
First of all, for the example you gave, do either of the characters spend time during the adultery lamenting over their relationship with their spouse, and we get to see that? If yes, then it's 100% NTR. Some would call it "reverse NTR" since NTR is traditionally a woman being stolen and not a man, but I don't think that's necessary personally. And in the west here, we'd call the woman a "cuckquean" instead of a "cuckold".The distinction is that (at least for me, opinions may differ) the protagonist should be the one getting cheated on if it's to be classed as Netorare - in the case of June's game, I know basically nothing about Liam and you don't play as him, so it's really just cheating.

I'm sorry but you appear to be confused about some of these terms.First of all, for the example you gave, do either of the characters spend time during the adultery lamenting over their relationship with their spouse, and we get to see that?

NTR has very little to do with PoV. A lot of NTR stories are told from the perspective of the person being stolen, and the person being cucked is completely sidelined and in some cases literally not present at all. You just know that this person is in a relationship and a different person is inserting themselves between it. Traditionally, the only way you would classify something as just cheating and not NTR is based on if the person committing adultery "catches feelings" or not. Basically, if they are cheating on their S/O just for a physical thing and go right back to being lovey-dovey with their S/O, it's just cheating. If, however, their feelings for S/O begin to wane or their feelings for the bull develop beyond physical, it becomes NTR. Or even if there's hints that their romantic loyalty might start wavering, it will get classified as NTR. Because at the end of the day, NTR is just about the feelings and emotions being created, it is not defined by specific actions.
I don't see how these statements are logically compatible and also, yes, I would class the two female protag stories as Netori.The only time perspective matters is if the PoV character is the one doing the stealing, in which case it's classified as netori. Or put another way, if BOTH of the people in the cuckold relationship would be qualified as side characters, then it's netori.
NTR = Protagonist gets cheated onI checked out June's story. That's not NTR, that's cheating. NTR would be if Liam were cheating on June long distance.

I only mentioned cuckquean in response to your hypothetical. I never implied there was any cuckqueaning involved in the game, sorry if that's what it seemed like.I'm sorry but you appear to be confused about some of these terms.
Cuckqueen = A woman in a relationship with a man who is repeatedly cheating on her and she's into the humiliation of it.
Hothusbanding = The same thing except she's actively participating in the sharing. She's not humiliated, she enjoys sharing him with other women.
Neither of those things were going on in the portions of the game I played (and I already pointed out I didn't play the full game as once it veered away from pure NTR I wasn't as interested, that's not a criticism, just a personal choice).
NTR has everything to do with PoV. Netorare as a genre is defined by the narrative focusing on the perspective and emotional fallout for the person being cheated on. Telling the story from the cheater's point of view without exploring the impact on the betrayed party moves it away from the typical characteristics and emotional core of what we define as Netorare.

Anyway, I didn't come here to argue about the semantics of Netorare so I'll apologise after having said my piece and stop muddying up the thread.
Just wanted to say, regardless of how either of us feel about it, the future tag list is pretty clear :- cut for brevity -
netorare | ✏ | A love interest has sexual contact with someone else without the approval of the protagonist, either voluntarily or from some form of coercion (eg, drugs, mind control, blackmail, rape). If the later, add the relevant coercion tag too |
