My main gripe with BSS labeling is that it's too prescriptive and not indicative of how NTR is actually used.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).
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).
