You could ask the same about rape or any other kink that includes non-consent. The appeal comes from the unwillingness and the power dynamics linked to that. For me, a story like "Roby and mc became rivals, the rivalry spiraled out of control and Roby steals and dominates all of mcs women" sounds much more exciting and interesting than "mc can get all the girls, everybody respects his boundaries and if he so wants, he can share".I am surprised you say that NTR is more prevalent since it is unwilling. I mean, who wants to loose their GF in the end?
A VN is not a self-insert, so it's not "me losing my gf", it's "reading a story about a guy who loses his gf in a power struggle with another guy". It's nothing else but the classical heroes journey, just for adults, meaning the hero loses eventually and the journey is a path downwards: The hero doesn't save the princess from the evil lord, he loses the princess to the evil lords schemes.
