Netorare is all about the protagonist, and how things happening to their love ones make him/her feel. But in this game, all the things you're talking about happen to Anna, and that isn't going to cause her to become jealous and experience the mental anguish of possibly having a loved one taken away. They are the essential elements of netorare, and if they are absent then there is no netorare. I get it, there's a lot of confusion, as to what constitutes netorare and what doesn't. But according to my understanding and the Dev's own assessment, it isn't present in the game to any appreciable degree.Yes, you are correct but possibly missing the main point. It (Being stolen or corrupted) "happens" to the "protagonist" by an unsavoury character. The husband/boyfriend/partner/lover are mere plot variables to validate the NTR plot and create proxy emotions for the audience to feel.
But to your points above, I do feel everyone is free to relate to whichever character they want in an NTR storyline
I can assure you the Dev did not intend anyone to feel those kind of proxy emotions for Andrew. There is no intentional NTR plot in the game ( at least so far). A few years ago, I asked him that very question and he stated there was no design for NTR within the game. And when I asked whether Andrew might be cucked in the future, he said that was a possibility, but he wasn't sure that it would be the right move. He certainly seemed very wary about including it. But maybe since Awake joined the team, they've had second thoughts? It was Awake who persuaded him to include, what he dubbed the Andrew Renaissance Route ( which is now in it's early stages). It seems to me, there's a possibility that some kind of Andrew cuck route might be planned as well, as a middle way, allowing Anna and Andrew to remain together.
You have to go back to those three choices that Anna had regarding Andrew, a few updates back. The first was obviously to leave him eventually, and the third was to stay with him, probably get cured of her condition and eventually become completely faithful again. But the middle choice suggests she's going to stay with him, but carry on having fun. The only way that could work in the long term, is some kind of open relationship, which suggests she's going to tell Andrew that she's been cheating on him, and she intends to carry on doing it. So I suspect on that route there will be a further choice, one where Andrew completely rejects the idea and they split up or one where he accepts it, and he becomes a cuck. In recent updates Anna has started teasing Andrew, making 'joking' remarks about why she's dressing so provocatively, and at one point she even muses the possibility of telling Andrew. I wonder, if all these little scenes are part of setting up a cuck route? And maybe there will be more in the future?
