I’m honestly amazed by how many Netorase games have surfaced these days. When I first put this list together, it was because finding games with sharing scenes was such a challenge — there were so few at the time that it was easy to list and keep track of each one that appeared.
But now? It feels like they’ve become pretty common. From my perspective, I think I’ve actually seen Netorase games pop up more often than straight-up NTR games lately, which is really surprising.
I never expected this thread to grow into the main community hub for Netorase games either — and seeing it hit 2 million views is just insane. It definitely made me feel a little bad for abandoning it for so long.
That said, about the future of this thread: I still really want to keep maintaining it, if I’m given the chance and can make the time. In the meantime, I’ve updated the OP with a link to Hentai_Kishi’s more robust and up-to-date list. Mine is very outdated at this point and misses quite a few newer Netorase games that I think are absolutely fantastic.
So here’s my long-term plan:
Tastes and opinions change over time, so I intend to revisit every game on this list — and also play through the huge backlog of newer titles I haven’t touched yet — and update the list accordingly. Hentai_Kishi’s list already does a great job covering the general aspects of these games, so I’d like mine to focus more on personal impressions and opinions.
And I have a really good reason to go through all of these: given the scope of STAINS OF BLUE, I need to research every aspect of Netorase I can so I can write the stories properly. Slowly working through these games gives me the perfect opportunity to do that — and I can even justify it as actual “research.”
Since it’ll be a slow process, bulk updates wouldn’t make sense anymore. Instead, I’ll try to update the list gradually, adding to it whenever I finish a game rather than doing big batches like before.
That being said, STAINS OF BLUE is my top priority right now. I probably won’t be able to seriously start playing through games again until I’ve managed to get this first release out the door.
Thanks again to everyone who’s kept this thread alive and thriving while I was away — it’s incredible to see how much the community has grown. I’m excited to dive back in, revisit these games and new ones - hopefully, uncovering even more hidden gems together with you all, and keep contributing where I can.
Even though my focus right now is on STAINS OF BLUE, I’m looking forward to slowly making my way back through the list and giving this thread the attention it deserves.
