I really don't want to fan the NTR debate flames. They don't need it.
But I've been thinking about what you said here. And I can completely see your point. As my own anecdote showed, when your SO cheats, the gender of the person they're cheating with is irrelevant. If it feels like a betrayal, it's going to feel like a betrayal.
There are a number of reasons why I don't think infidelity/betrayal/NTR/netorare/whatever applies to this game. Mainly, this is a harem game, and Akira comes into the bizarre world of Kumon-mi very genre savvy. He consciously approaches the first days of gameplay as a garden variety fuck-em-all school eroge. All the girls are his girls. As are all the grown women. And, as you pointed out, he tells Ami early on that the idea of her and Maya bumping uglies gets him excited.
As I said above, I don't know that he'd particularly enjoy the rape scene in the most recent update, but hey, he's fucked up. He might. This is the guy who—if we decide that the green path is the true path—played "Stomachache" through to the end.
So while I see your point, I'm going to respectfully disagree.
Mind, I also recognize that there are players for whom that rape scene—more than "Stomachache," more than "Lavender's Green," more than many other deeply disturbing scenes—crosses a line they won't. So I suppose adding an NTR flag to this thread might make sense.
But because there's no real consensus about what that flag actually signifies, I'm not sure who it would help.
On another subject—what Ami knows or doesn't—I just replayed the first h scene in the bath for the first time since the revisions. I have a hard time seeing the Ami in that scene as having done this thousands of times. I get that she's capable of playing her youth and innocence to the hilt, and I recognize that by the later chapters there's definitely way more going on inside that twin-tailed head than meets the eye, but really? I can't see it there. The awkwardness and shyness seem too genuine, and not aimed at turning on Akira.
Which in my mind lends creedence to the idea that in later scenes Ami is possessed by Sekai or by some other entity—that that's who torture rapes Maya, for example.
Am I missing something?

You’ll unlock a girl’s pajamas outfit in the menu as soon as you pat them to orgasm and unavoidably break your left click button. Never saw anyone praising it though; this shit is asinine with a barely worthwhile result.
This is also my theory, but I think that, just like how Akira gets dropped into his body each reset, I think Ami also does that, though at varying points in time each reset, and before that, it's just base Ami.

Regardless of anyones's opinions on NTR and what applies to it or not, the moment you put a NTR flag on this game we will not only have the "what are the care packages for" and "are there animations in this game" nomad small tribes, now there will be a HORDE asking "what do you mean with ntr? Is avoidable?" the whole fucking time, there won't be a escape from it.
For that alone, please don't EVER do that.

1. Yeah, I'm really tired of having to play advocate for something which I don't give a damn about. The scene didn't bother me at all, and yet here I am still defending their point out of concern for the people that said that they were ignored by the thread regulars when voicing their discontent. My own opinion (insofar as how I see the narrative) mirrors yours. If there is still something to say on the matter, I'll leave it to the people that actually care about it from now on.
2. My current perspective, as I'm nearing the end of chapter 1, is that Ami knows things at times. I think there may be some value to her "nightvision" powers theory, and that she receives fragmented information (sort of like Nodoka) through either dreams or hallucinations. Therefore, even the things she does know would have been known through a state of "dreaming", which would make her have doubts about it even then, making her question herself.
Mind you, so far, I've identified only two events which she becomes "possessed", the first one being during her first fingered event (she has NAO eyes), and the second when her face becomes distorted after Akira leaving her dorm (last chapter 1 Ami event). So the current theory might continue to change as that new variable comes in.

I'd like to keep a note of every event where Saki appears/is mentionned since she doesn't have her own page on the wiki, but I can't remember this one:

Well, I completed chapter 1 and... I'm not sure I ever predicted translating hexadecimal to some kinda vocaloid song while crying. Maya...
actually, I'm curious about something... and I'm not entirely sure if I actually want an answer because it might actually be relevant but it seems that... in chapter 1 "God" was like "God" and then replaced with "god" but now... it's the opposite? or maybe it varied in chapter 1 and I'm stupid?

Hiya, nice to meet everyone. I'm mid 4.1(?) and while I dug through and found some of the old discussions when this was fresh for everyone, I feel compelled to ask...

ok, I figured something was up but I wasn't too certain, especially with some of the events that preceded the chapter end.

For people that played this back then, were USER3 and USER4 always recognized by the second reset?
Also, smooth, Selebus.
And, with that, chapter 1 is finally done. It is always underwhelming how much Akira does not ask Maya on relevant topics during the reset sequence.

If he was capable of introspection, this would be a very different game imo
I'd complain about how useless and lazy Akira is as the protagonist of a mystery, but this is also a story where we spent years building up the revelation that one of the characters had the bright idea of taking notes.
