Yes I understand the concept, of the 3 forms of NTR - Netori, Netorare, and Netorase.
Netorare (Taken away)
Netorase (Willingly Cuckolded)
Netori (Female Main Character willingly cheating)
My point is that whether people want to admit it or not. They are all under the blanket of NTR. Therefore Cheating = NTR.
I am talking like it would technically be NTR. I know that most people don't mind NTR when its playing as the male main character that is taking someone elses girl. They also usually don't mind NTR (Netori) when they are playing as a female lead and cheating on a shitty or generally stupid boyfriend.
What I was having an issue with was would I need apply an NTR tag if the game had any of the 3 forms of NTR.
Then I just got around that dilemma by simply in my story Elinalise never starts dating Cliff. Therefore no cheating or NTR tag needed and just bypassing the entire situation.
The biggest change I personally think I am taking from the source material will be seen in the Beta 1 update where I just finished fully remaking the Introduction to the game, added backstories, and made it known what things were changed. Some people liked it some did not. But I made it so that Sylphiette was not the one to cure Rudeus of his ED. I made Elinalise be the one to do that.
Mainly because I was faced with another issue. The promise. If you are caught up with the anime this is not a spoiler for you. But before Rudeus leaves for the finding Zenith, Sylphiette comments on her feeling like she will not being enough for Rudeus, citing paul taking a second wife. That is when Rudeus makes a Promise that Sylphiette is only woman he will ever need.
Bit of a spoiler here so Ill use the tag
