Have you tried The Guy in Charge, Tyrant, Culture Shock, Power Vaccum, or Rise of the Crime Lord? Some of them may fit the bill for you. I like NTR games that have both an alpha and beta path. Variety is the spice of life.

Tyrant had a good mix of "If you don't do it, somebody else will" for me. Power Vacuum has struck a note with writing and non-canonical NTR endings that completely satisfies my weird sense of humor and getting to do a romance path while constantly falling off it. I'll look for the others, because I don't think I've played them.
Superhuman also has a path like that. You can go with your friend to pretend to be her boyfriend, but she's made it clear she'll do anything to get ahead. You can pursue her, or if you won't do that, somebody else will. Kind of makes the world feel more alive if other people are engaging in their lives when you aren't around. Like getting to the end of Mass Effect without romancing Tali or Garrus only to find out they've been romancing each other because you picked someone else.
I do think a game that lets you pick, ala Tyrant, is both a lot more work (because all the parallel branches) and multiple endings can mean the author doesn't get to tell the story they wanted to. Fiction to game adaptation is all about the compromise in the end. Kinetic novels can be completely enjoyable. Interactive Fiction is interactive to a point, but I don't blame anyone for not wanting to shoulder the load of all those branches. Look at all the half finished content that started out with passion and then burned out or wrote itself into a corner.
I like how A Promise Best Left Unkept and The Edge Of were written. There's just a part of me that wants to take the title's advice and go "You know what, fuck it. We're going to be a power couple or nope right out of this because I'm a sane person that has rationalized what's really important to me."
It would be a short fucking branch, but some ends are. I have been eaten in the dark by a grue, after all.

I was ready for the pain but not this kind of pain. Damn, all I could wish for now is that Harry will see that Laura ain't the perfect girl she is and will move on. She ain't worth it brudah.

There's a new patron-only post discussing (planned/possible?) endings to APBLU on
You must be registered to see the links
. Anybody able to share this here? (Pretty please, with sugar on top!)To summarize, HangoverCat lists down the conditions required to reach each of the five branches and which branch they'll be coding first. Doesn't actually talk about the endings of the branches, though one can guess.
I'm unable to see if my hope of Harry overcoming this loss of trust and moving on with life will happen in any of the five branches.
From what was said for the second ending it seems most likely that that will be the one if any where Harry moves on with his life. Unsure if it will be healthy though.
I feel you man.
I don't hate ntr, I don't really enjoy it either. I think I just tolerate it. Like this thing you hate but can't stop going back to it, sometimes I just go back to ntr games/H-anime.
I could say I enjoy it if I don't take time to care about the story but what would be the point of reading a book if you just skip through it?
I think I just started on the wrong foot with genre so everytime I want to enjoy it I have flashbacks of a really fucked up one I've read a while ago.
I do enjoy good writing that's why I'm still here and one day I'll play this whole game for sure.
When they will ask why there was a peak in young male depression after 2020 we will just say "Hangover Cat, that guy was a genius"
And for the believers here just don't forget that Aya's corruption story is coming so abandon every hope, I know it's hard but if you always hope for the worst, it will hurt less.
no happy ending is sad.
also makes choices meaningless.
all u get are diff cgs with same outcome.
sometimes we want apple pie to go with our green peas. like sweet n sour pork.
heres hoping dev changes his mind and adds a good route for blonde, at least shes a decent person.

Why would anyone want a happy ending in a game like this? Or a violent ending? Isn’t the whole point of NTR the cluelessness and humiliation of the guy, and maybe at the end he starts enjoying it or at least accepts it?
of course its for ntr lovers. thats why all the endings are NTR at the moment.
but that doesnt mean we cant enjoy the occasional good ending. it actually makes the ntr better.
but i think having one good ending with ten bad ending is more meaningful than 11 bad endings with just cg variation.
i like ntr but i dunno about str8 depression lol.
Based on HC's new Patreon post, I think the third ending will be the only good ending for the game

Based on what some people are saying i think he didn't make an explicit happy ending, like it will depend on people what they consider happy, is there 1 that sounds like Harry remains blind tot he ntr or at least is conviced all was in his head?

Why? (Change "Skip Settings" in the games's options to "All Text", run through the game using CTRL or TAB, and you have unlocked all CG/gallery scenes in about one minute, or so.)
It's the contrasts.
My interest in NTR mainly comes from the gradual corruption of FMC. Playing the vanilla route first makes the following play of the corruption/NTR route all the better.
Sometimes though I just want a wholesome ending when I'm particularly attached to a character.

Just finished the update, I dread the thought of waiting for the next one (Here's hoping for 1 good ending).
