VN Unity NTR Chat: Her Unfaithful Secrets [v0.11] [Linda DS]

At the same time, thank you for explaining NTS! From my observation, Eastern and Western preferences toward NTR are quite different. In many Japanese works, even if the protagonist has cuckold tendencies, they still “resist on the surface,” and stories where the couple openly discusses and agrees to everything are relatively rare. That’s probably why I never encountered the term before — I really learned something new this time!

I think this is mostly due to cuckoldry in most western things focusing more on a feeling of humiliation for the person being cucked while Netorase more so fetishizes jealousy of seeing your partner with someone else. That's why there's a difference between Netorare and Netorase to Japanese people while most western people would just consider both as cuckoldry. They find a distinction in how the jealousy is caused, one is from totally losing someone important to you even if it was just a platonic friend while the other is from being jealous of not being able to have sex with your lover. That's why you occasionally see NTR stories like "My male childhood bestfriend hooked up with my female childhood bestfriend", there were no lovers stolen or anything but the pov character is jealous they didn't make the first move on the girl.
