I think that's exactly it, if you are self inserting yourself into the game, you probably don't want to be cucked or made to feel like a loser.You know, I almost have to wonder if the difference in what kind of NTR someone prefers might come down to how they engage with the story. Like how you have people who are aggressively against NTR, they'll often show a strong tendency to favor games where they can self-insert as the main character to live out some kind of sexual power fantasy where everyone falls in love with them.
To anyone who likes NTR but doesn't like the more gangbang-y style of NTR: do find yourself enjoying netori games or stories almost as much as netorare? That part of what you get out of the game is by investing a bit of yourself in characters like Zeno or Ulrod? Because for me, most of the appeal comes from the tragedy of the corruption in a more general sense, without really attaching it to any one particular villain (or even Leto as the protagonist). I know there is occasionally some overlap between netorare/netori/netorase as sub-genres, and netori is by far my least favorite of the three — so I feel like the inverse might be true, that people who want to keep things strictly one-on-one with the villains are much more partial to netori.
I like netorare but not netori. Netori is also more of a self insert kind of deal, same with netorase from what I see.
With Netorare I don't like gangbang or sharing because that takes away from the feeling of the NTR for me. If the girl is just a town bicycle, then I feel like the MC dodged a bullet and its a good thing he's not with that whore anymore. While if he had the girl stolen by what is objectively a worse guy, that in normal circumstances he should not lose to, then that's a big bonus for my enjoyment. My perspective is more from wanting to see a guy lose and be humiliated. Kind of a sadistic angle for me as the player. However, if the bad guy does all that work to steal and corrupt a girl and just gives her away to other randos, then he's less of a villain to me.
But if you self insert, it make sense you would prefer netori or outright hate netorare. Most people getting mad on the internet at that stuff are just not self aware enough to understand not everyone self inserts since they only look at things from their own perspective. Kinda the old debate about internal monologs. If you don't have one then you wont understand someone trying to explain it. And vice versa.
