I do believe that Neko can do whatever he wants with his game, and I do agree with a lot of the points said here, but...
Your idea of netorase isn't the end-all be-all definition of netorase - and in that regard 'in a different way than everyone was expecting' doesn't apply because unfortunately you are in the minority with your perspective. All of us, in some way, are in the minority with our perspectives - with different ways we want things to happen, with what we want characters to say or do (or not say or do).
For me pure relatively-wholesome NTS is something to be experienced in small doses - in shorter doujins. For my story, which is a much, much longer story, I think it would just get... boring pretty quickly? My story is clearly a slow(ish)-burn corruption story, and I can't envision that with the purest of the pure NTS. I wouldn't be able to do all the emotion-filled twists and turns I can by dancing between NTR and NTS. NTR and NTS have so many sub-genres and different ways of being explored that I kind of hate the fact that we have those terms at all. Horror is a genre, and yet.. it is a hugely deep topic with countless different ways of being done in media and of course everyone (like NTR/NTS) has their own opinion on it...
I know the player is the 'main character', but from the beginning I've always written things and imagined the story thinking from Vanilla's perspective. It's not about the MC, it's about her. For me it's a corruption story of a cute girl unfortunately targeted by an expert manipulator - her head filled with brainworms day-in day-out until her entire way of thinking becomes compromised. NTR/NTS is a consequence of her ingrained feelings towards her boyfriend, exploring the struggle between that and her newfound increasingly-depraved hobbies. There will be an NTS route, and there already is a humiliation flag set in 0.0.8 that tones down the humiliation towards MC, but it will never be the pure NTS story you and a few others want simply because that's not the way I think about the story.
Also, I don't think I've ever promised a pure NTS route so I'm not sure where this expectation came from. At its core, NTS really comes down to putting her pleasure before your own, no? And generally that's coupled with sexual feelings of inadequacy and a lot of humiliation kinks - y'know, being a cuck. Sexually, she's done with you, but you still remain #1 in her heart - so the humiliation and asking her to cheat etc makes you feel that you're still involved in her sex life? This 'pure NTS' where you have the final say on everything and control every sexual act she does sounds more like swinging to me.
It would be an interesting discussion to continue - I can only really imagine myself in the shoes of Vanilla; my knowledge of the guy's perspective and thoughts about all this is primarily from playing games, reading doujins and talking to people.. so any additional perspectives to be more informed will always be a net positive (even if I don't really see the appeal in swinging/pure NTS)..... buuuuut definitely not on a forum thread
I also thought when you said there would be an NTS route, that it would be similar to the way Keke said, since thats what most NTS are like, not that there aren't sub-parts of it like you said, but you said an NTS route, and thats the expectation. You didn't say it would not be the same NTS as most other NTS route games, but just said there would be an NTS route. Though its your game so if you want to do something different from normal NTS, then don't let anyone stop you, but thanks for the clarification now at least.i'm sorry but you are wrong on that, i'm not in the minority(of the ones who like netorase) nor am i wrong with my definition that's just straight wrong
here is the definition of netorase:
A genre of sharing or cuckoldry pornography where a protagonist's love interest has sex with others, which the protagonist enjoys, actively encourages or even causes
it's not in the slightest talking about cheating or netorare, now if you wanted to talk about a subtype of netorase then you should have said so because i though it would have just been normal netorase(and it seems others though so too)
"For me pure relatively-wholesome NTS is something to be experienced in small doses - in shorter doujins. For my story, which is a much, much longer story, I think it would just get... boring pretty quickly?" i don't agree on this but that's subjective anyway, if you feel like it that's fine but imo it's possible to create an interesting and wholesome NTS route/story while keeping it interesting
now as i said it's your game so i'm not gonna talk about plot or whatever you want to put in it and it's definitly possible to pull off a good nts/ntr type of route BUT it's really hard to do without it feeling like a second NTR route and that's why it's worrying while doing a good NTS route is kinda more easy, now i agree NTS can be bland if it's done in a bad way but that's true for a lot of different things(including NTR), if you want my opinion in this i'd say you should flirt with nts without it being completly ntr
"Also, I don't think I've ever promised a pure NTS route so I'm not sure where this expectation came from. At its core, NTS really comes down to putting her pleasure before your own, no?" i mean you are right but since you said netorase we kinda assumed it would be basic netorase, nope i think you misunderstand netorase(at least the basic definition) it's basically a man that enjoy to share his gf/wife it's not about putting down your own pleasure, both takes pleasure in it and likes it
and btw i do like your game and if you want to talk in private about this theme or something i'm up for it![]()
