'well...tell him what it is going on instead of trying to make him guess. He at least ask questions and wish to know, tell, and let what it is next happen'.
Yeah, but it doesn't matter. Plot doesn't have to be realistic to bring you feelings. It just needs to function properly.
Like a well constructed machine.
With the sole purpose of bringing reader those specific types of feelings - and as strong as possible.

but from Harry, I guess she would only have hate and disgust.
Not necessarily.
And he doesn't NEED to know at all.
And he doesn't need to know until literally the last frame of the game.

There's a lot of tricks the author could utilize so we don't have to deal with it.
And it's pretty important that he does - because Hate and Disgust from Harry would function the same way as Hate and Disgust from the girls.
The more hate there are inside the couple, the less jealousy they get.

There's a good example:
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
And you wouldn't want to make your horror game LESS scary by mentioning half way through that your monster is a pacifist, now would you?

Author already made that mistake - and he didn't have to. Definitely not for the sake of some 'realism'.

Well...but you see, a woman hating the MC she loved before is part of NTR tropes as well.

Not necessarily.

I kinda liked it, you see, hate and disgust are funny things due to how they answer to me when I see them. I saw and I was all 'hate more and further...let it fester'. There is a reason why I like Anakin's journey. A good man, although spineless, becoming filled of hate and disgust? It smells like possible bloodlust and hah! I love it! Hate can be purifying and Harry...felt pure for the first time.

That is also why I liked Abrupt ending.
He took the knife and I knew. Blood would be shed, a damage irreversible would be bought and one life would be sacrificed. There is...something there. It was...human.

And you wouldn't want to make your horror game LESS scary by mentioning half way through that your monster is a pacifist, now would you?

Who do you refer as a monster? TBH when I understood why Luca does what he does...he just felt pathetic. I remember the scene was uncomfortable, then after that I just laughed.

Harry taking a knife to kill felt far more threatening and far more certain. The only disappointment was the absence of what happened later, but oh well.

Then again I have to point out something.
Porn Wise I only cared about animations. The 'plot' didn't matter, hell, I didn't even knew what the characters were blabbering about...well, until I saw the amount of work put in there thanks to what I saw in this topic.

The main issue is.
Jealousy...is not a main point for me if there is no resolution to it. It feels incomplete and it is a...meh.

And us who enjoy this kink hate them as well.

The only good ending is Laura and Aya making the pathetic Harry kill himself, and he fails, of course, because he's a useless piece of shit.
The way you say it looks like every and each person who likes ntr hate them. I don't. I like games who have both types of ending, wholesome and corruption. I Always like to play both routes.

true it adds more flavor but this type of game is pure hardcore ntr so asking for a real good ending in a game like this is like asking for a ntr ending in a pure vanilla game which is retarded also the ppl who want harry to suffer like crazy or kill himself definitely have some mental issues

normal aya, abrubt aya, clumsy aya, fallen aya- in that order, if you complete the aya route ending you will be able to see them and jump to them in the ending selection.

What's the one with the pink hair girl? Is that Maya?

HangoverCat You might want to add "Recommended" hint when starting a new game, i made a correct decision and went through all endings of Harry's POV first before all POVs playthrough but the starting screen only lists downsides.

for me i had to do several things, it was not set up properly.

First move these files(screenshot 1) into the resource section in the app, to get there double click on the app and select "show package contents"

second screenshot, you need the files in MacOS to be Unix executable files like i have. To do that go to terminal type

chmod +x

Space bar at the end of that, then select the files that not unix executable drag them there.

The problem with Laura is that she becomes LESS sexy the more you play.
But she had great foundation.
It's just hard to get some jealousy for a girl, who HATES her boyfriend. That's simply not how jealousy works.

Aya is a crowd favorite (for now) because she actually crazy in love with Harry.
So people want to see her NTRed - precisely because of that. Because of contrast.
For now.
She'll start hating Harry and it would be the same as with Laura.

More hate => less jealousy.
More love => more jealousy.
It's that simple.
You are missing the point of NTR. This is not Netorase, they turning their hearts against Harry is the sexiest form of corruption. It's him who still has to love them. Not the girls, they have to despise him.

Point of NTR is Jealousy.
Just like the point of Romance is Love, the point of Horror is Fear, the point of Action is Hype.
One single emotion.
...Or a group of emotions, if you want to be nitpicky about it.

If a girl despising the man while cheating on him makes you MORE jealous - then that's what matters.
Don't let anyone take that away from you. You are here for that emotion and you've got it.

I'm feeling the exact opposite.
And I'm just trying to explain why I feel that way. While 'maybe' uncovering some useful rules about human emotions and storytelling.

1) "The girl despises her boyfriend and BECAUSE of it she cheats on him."
2) "The girl just cheats on her boyfriend."
3) "The girl loves her boyfriend to the death, but DESPITE it she can't stop cumming while cheating."

1) No contrast.
I have no idea what she even feeling during sex. Is it good? Is it bad? Is it just a normal sex? Or her craving's on the level of craving for a cake in the early morning?
I don't know.
There's no contrast. There's nothing to compare to - because she's losing nothing with this cheating.

Imagine if when Romeo met Juliette their families were best buddies.
Would that make a better story? What would you be able to tell about their love? Is it as scorching as the sun or is it just another one of these ball meets? Will they love each other for the rest of their lives or will they get bored in a week?
Who knows. I sure don't.

2) Weak contrast.
It's akin to incest: "I kinda shouldn't, but I kinda want to."
it makes the feeling a bit stronger, but generally good stories will add something on top of that. Though it's still an easy way to spice things up a bit. And it is working.
Hence both cheating and incest are quite numerous - but the ones that stand out are the stories that throwing something more into the mix.

3) Strong contrast.
If the girl sacrifices cake to get a cookie - it means her craving for the cookie is at least a bit stronger than her feelings for the cake.
Cookie>Cake.
So the stronger her feelings for the cake we make - the stronger we can feel her craving for the cookie.
If Cake=10, then Cookie>=11.
If we'll be able to show that Cake=1000, then Cookie is at least a 1001.
The cheating sex feels BETTER the more she loves her boyfriend. (for the reader)

Now.
If the girl sucks a cock DESPITE her love - that means her craving for this cock is AT LEAST a bit stronger then that love.
But if she sucks a cock BECAUSE she doesn't have that love no more - erm, then what? She's just a woman who sucks a cock.
What you want me to feel about her?

...And she's having a shitty attitude by 'despising' her boyfriend on top of that - but that doesn't really matter. We're here not for moral-policing.
It's just if there's nothing else to feel about her - she's "just a woman who sucks cock" - then that's the only thing left for me to feel about her.
Shitty.

Again, Laura's foundation is incredible. If it wasn't I wouldn't be here writing this wall of text. It's just her character development is worse then it was at the start.
And it should be the other way around.
You don't put work to feel less.

Point of NTR is Jealousy.
The point of NTR is the sense of 'lose'. That's why there is childhood friend, Mom and Sister NTR as well.

It has to do with betrayal, male paranoia, female corruption, and many flavours. Thankfully Japanese people aren't simple, that's why they invented so many wonderful (and others not so much) kinks.

Jelousy is more of a thing of Netorase really, that's where it really takes the spotlight.
