we are gonna have to have another conversation about what counts as NTR arent we?Honestly I don't consider HC1 and 2 NTR games. There's no NTR in the first game, and the second game only has it between two side characters. HC3 is the first to actually have it in the primary relationship but I would still struggle to call it an NTR game simply because Leto is a mute MC and as a result I don't really empathize with him. To me the HC games are about the corruption, however the corruption would not be as effective without it being passed through the lens of an innocent bystander. While I'm not saying that the MC has to me male, it's more effective when that MC is male simply because of societal expectations for men and women. Because of this the HC games kind of sit in a bit of a no man's land between corruption and NTR, and switching to a female MC could disrupt that causing a game to lean too heavily in another direction. That could make the game lose what makes it feel like a Henteria Chronicles game.
Female lead cheating and cuckold games have their niche, male lead cheating and cuckqueen games have their niche, NTR games focusing on a woman or man both have their niches. I just feel like the HC games need a male MC simply because of how they focus on external forces destroying the world of a person and men make better victims in such a situation.
I havent played HC1 but HC2 definetly counts as NTR
