I assume these are the guided choices - interesting to see, I personally played without
I feel like it's pretty obvious (could still be wrong)
this is how I interpret it:
1) MC says he found it kinda hot that Akane had this "control" over that guy
this option seems to be the "controlled" path and she knows that this turns you on - she doesn't tutor him without her underwear and you will later talk about his NTS kink and the path continues with both of you knowing where it leads
2) MC just pushes her down the NTS path without talking to her first - she gains corruption points/darker path - and the "bonus scene" is probably that day she goes to tutor him without undies
keep in mind that both could end up in NTR territory
even if you talk about it with her beforehand - if you treat her like sh*t etc she might fall more in love with him on these paths (she already said he reminded her of us, if we would not have accepted her confession she might have gone for it this first session)
You got it right, 10/10 for understanding the dialogues and intentions.
If it's anything like the OG version, you'll be warned about any choices that will directly lead to NTR.
Sharing/NTRS that can lead to NTR and ofc everything is avoidable and can happen only by player choice

so I assume that basically answers the question people had if other characters aside from Akane would have NTR content with "No"
would make sense considering she seems to be the "Main" Main LI and the one we start dating first
everything (especially future Harem dynamic/drama) will revolve around her - everyone else is extra.. at least if you agree to date her
I.. honestly just realized I don't even know what happens if you don't since I never rejected her
might be an interesting alternative playthrough ...
unless she instantly goes Yandere mode on my ass
then it could be the primary one

i mean you are not wrong but it would still be nice to have a confirmation from the dev
There's a total of 8 Main Li's, main li's have two paths, corruption and romance, and all of them are connected to the main plot.
Akane, Manami, Kaori, Mikoto, Yuzuki, Eris, and two slots more open for favorite characters based on future polls.
Secondary Li's, there's a lot, but they only have one single path, this way the branching won't be a hell and focus and pacing can be mixed without issues.
NTR most probably Yuzuki will be another character as well, but I'll make a poll once she is introduced, because probably she becomes a playable character, soplayer can corrupt her too. (Yuzuki is the sister) But it's too soon to tell about her.
Harem paths are combinations, like Akane X Manami is Safe, but if you add Kaori, then there's gonna be friction, but still be possible, just with a bit of extra drama.
I'm trying to make that each character have their own time to develop, Akane was the first one, since her path is longer, but it doesn't affect if you avoid her, she's not a forced love interest, that's already implemented in the current version with both of them giving the last "goodbye", but she won't dissappear, she will stay friendly.
One of the common issues about games with a lot of characters is the branching, making paths that leads to nowhere and in some point they get lost and development causes burnout and long periods on each release.
I'm using this formula to solve this problem, is a romboid branch, this way, all plots, characters, and love interests, are kind of connected to a time slot, and to the main plot, because the game have a plot, yeah, it's not just romancing everything with two legs, so, this way, each game day, have a meaning and a correct pacing.

the vision you have for this project sounds solid to me
especially when you talk about the branching nightmare it triggers some PTSD in me
I get it's not easy to keep track of all options to reflect in the dialogue but I'm not even surprised anymore when I clearly reject sex with a girl/don't kiss her and sometimes already the very next scene they talk about like it happened anyway
a lot of "choice driven" harem games make the mistake of assuming that the player is constantly horny and wouldn't reject an obvious affection gain - no matter how questionable the situation may be
(meeting a girl and not even 2 days later already undying in love is another cliché rocket start relationship)
it does not necessarily need to be slow burn, but it should be believable
so far I haven't seen anything like that here which I highly value/appreciate
so I guess what I want to say with this small vent of frustration:
"Take your time" - with so many LIs and branching paths it looks like an ambitious project and you are just starting
better a slower but polished release instead of a quicker one that could frustrate people because their decisions don't seem to matter anymore
