Recommending NTR, netorare, cuckold - resources, discussion, development

[Lupiscanis]

When it happens, the heroine has not formed a relationship with MC yet. So NTR purists may claim it’s not "real NTR" yet.

That's because it's not - it's BSS (I haven't played the game - if the MC isn't interested in the woman involved then it's neither).

Anyone knows if the Steam Version of "NTR Life" is the same of the one here? (v0.2)

My main gripe with BSS labeling is that it's too prescriptive and not indicative of how NTR is actually used.
It also leads to ridiculous situations like Kubel not being NTR because the FMC isn’t in a romantic relationship with the MC.
Scars of Summer too can't be NTR since the FMC and MC never get together in any of the "bad ends."

I would just follow what JAV does. If it makes you jealous or upset, it’s NTR.
If a potential lover gets stolen down the road, it’s NTR.
This principle is also how oneesan/okaasan NTR works function.

This also means a chunk of Fuetakishi’s works isn’t NTR anymore because the MC isn’t in an official relationship with his oneesans when the bad guy started "taking them."

I dislike BSS as a term. It’s not used anywhere—not on DLsite, not on FANZA. They just use cuckoldry (NTR).

what is BSS is that bulshit about the NTR abecedary for the people that do not know the meaning of NTR?

The problem (in my opinion) lies in the fact that there are multiple forms of NTR (and I view BSS as another form of NTR) and people will define NTR as the kind that they like (this is exacerbated by the never-to-happen tag rework).

This is not to mention the issue with people conflating cuckolding with every kind of NTR or people talking about NTS as NTR etc etc.

(I think I've played Kubel but if I'm getting this wrong, I apologise) In the case of Kubel (and other female protag games) it's also difficult to define a female protag game as NTR because the tag is pretty male-centric. Women who sleep with other men are commonly just viewed as sluts (not my viewpoint) and it's less about them being stolen so much as it is them cheating (if the game is from their viewpoint).

Scars of Summer can fall into the BSS category, but it depends on the route you take (I think there are options for you to profess your interest, yes? Again, it's been a while since I've played it) - if there's no declaration of love from the male protag, then if the female antagonist pursues someone else it's just BSS. If the male protag confesses and starts any kind of relationship but the female antagonist ends up with someone else, it's NTR.

Ultimately though these are just my viewpoints and as I've stated, people will view NTR how they want to view it and unfortunately we just have to suffer through people's own opinions on what kind of NTR is what.

Male protag pursues woman but never confesses to woman and woman doesn't really care about him, woman ends up in relationship with someone else = BSS.

It's essentially just unrequited love.

Netorare plays on the feeling of entitlement people feel when they fall in love.

I love my mom and I expect her to love me back
I love my childhood friend and I expect her to love me back.

that is why most protagonist are inactive, because the entitlement leads then to inaction as they feel they do not have to do anything to get that they should deserve.

anyways i am mostly asking for the meaning of B S and S

The literal definition is Bokuga Sakini Sukidattanoni (roughly "I liked it first" I believe) if that's what you're asking.

The route where MC confesses is the "happy route" in Scars of Summer. Every other route, they never enter in a relationship. FMC simply gets involved with the bastard before MC can react.
By the BSS definition, Scars of Summer wouldn’t be considered NTR despite being a top ten NTR JRPG on DLsite.

In all, BSS is actually a subgenre of NTR. But it's also rare and too technical.
All the JAV studios simply use NTR even if the MC/FMC aren’t romantically involved.
Because reciprocal feelings aren’t required for NTR to happen.

If you scroll down VNDB, you can see many NTR works where MC/FMC aren't romantically involved.
I do notice a trend where EN NTR protags are in an official relationship with FMC, but this isn’t always the case in JP NTR works.

I agree.

I disagree.

I honestly don't care what JAV studios do when they label their content (and I don't mean this in any way offensively, it just doesn't affect how I feel about the tag).

Because reciprocal feelings aren’t required for NTR to happen.

I agree for BSS, I disagree for netorare. I also don't care enough however that I think the site should add the BSS tag and relabel a whole bunch of games.

This all arose because I was just pointing out that people might say the scenes in your game aren't NTR because they would define it as BSS. I apologise because I feel like we've gone off on a massive tangent now that's not really helping the thread any.

 

[Aukenn]

What sites have the BSS tag? This is an important research opportunity.

 

[skyblueaster]

I agree.

It's all good. I enjoy having these discussions. Also, slow NTR day if it's only us peeps chatting. :3

Just one thing: BSS can't be a subgenre of NTR if reciprocal feelings are required for NTR to happen.
Because BSS needs the unrequited part to actually be… BSS.
So it would be its own genre, as the two would be mutually exclusive (according to your definition).

That being said, I don’t mind if games get labeled NTR or BSS. I enjoy both and consume them all the same hehe. And the "FK NTR" crowd probably won’t read either.

I don't think NTR = netorare, which is why I made the distinction. NTR is (in my opinion) the umbrella term for netorare/netori/netorase (and also BSS, although used much less). Netorare is a distinct subset of NTR. I realise that NTS gets used a lot for netorase (I don't think there's a seperate acronym for netori?), but I feel like a lot of people use NTR to describe all three main terms.

Any good NTR games where the girl can be a prostitute?

Oh sorry. I meant to add optional prostitution. Not as the main course.

Every review of this game says that it broke their heart and left them depressed. I don't know when I'll find the courage to play it.

BSS is when the MC has a one-sided infatuation and feels like they got NTRd because the other person got into a relationship.

The old, "But I loved her First!"

BSS is the abbreviation of the title for the doujin that popularised the concept.

Yea NTR is used as an umbrella term. Netori would be NTI but nobody really uses it. And I would agree BSS is a subset of NTR.
