It's just Japanese Culture.
Simple as that come on man if you see tag "NTR" just don't play it
You misunderstand my complaints. It isn't the fact that it is NTR that is the problem. My issue is with that type of character, and avoiding NTR wouldn't help with that. For whatever reason, that is the MC of choice for a lot of different Jap h-game studios, regardless of genre. It is kind of a boner killer when a MC, especially
the MC, keeps going on about how worthless he is.
As for this particular game, NTR really is tacked on for the girl we play. The "romance" comes out of nowhere. This guy doesn't really care about her, he is just a spineless coward that followed her around cause she was cute (and is possibly, not in an insulting way but quite literally, retarded considering how she described his relationship with his "friends"). Yet for some reason, the girl suddenly decides she loves him after he told her to give up on her dreams and she found her way into a new world.
With the way he talks down to her yet doesn't even have the guts to ask her out, he doesn't even have the benefit of being a somewhat decent person. Yet again, the game relies on us comparing him to his awful friend to make him look better by comparison. Both of those characters could have been cut from the game completely, and it would have been better and more polished as a result.
And to clear up any further misunderstandings, I like this game. It is a good game in my opinion. There are just a few things I don't like about it. This is kind of why I don't post very often. I can't just turn a blind eye to what I see as flaws, and I tend to be all the more scathing to something I enjoy, because I am a perfectionist and see how it could have been better. I know it isn't going to do any good to say any of this here, but I wanted to say it.
