No offense, but this is part of the problem. There is no 'personal' definition of NTR anymore than there is a personal definition of 'anal sex' they are words which have actual meanings.
Spot on. What's Sad is even though this is true many still get it wrong.
NTR has a specific meaning, roughly, "the action to steal a loved one". It gets a visceral response from people because it requires there to be something real (love, loyalty, trust) relationship that can be destroyed. In the end LI tramples on relationship and prefers the interloper even if sexual relationship had begun on dubious grounds (rape, blackmail etc.). It's not the sense of betrayal that gives the oomph to the emotional punch(though it's required), it's the hit to the self esteem, implication that you never made your partner trully happy despite your "love", "loyalty" and/or "personal sacrifice". What really mattered was sexual prowess and you were never good enough. In fact you were so incompetent that your loved prefers a disgusting rapist bastard over you (I am exaggerating for effect). That is what NTR is. It sows seeds of doubt that no relationship no matter how perfect they are can be secure if one is not a sex god. It feeds on tiny dick energy. Insecurities, inferiority complexes, etc.
More or less true. They don't actually have to be a loved one however. NTR started in Shojo Manga far before it had an inpact on the adult world. All that really matters is that person A is suffering because they perceive that person B is being taken away from them by person C. So they can basically just have a crush on their best friend and that person enters a relationship, that can be NTR. Or a person can watch their favorite Manga get sold to another studio and they make the protagonist asexual after establishing a high sex drive. This again technically can be told into an NTR story.
Not even remotely accurate. They don't need to just flat out trample on your feelings, oftentimes they are having mixed feelings as well, sometimes they are trying to have the best from both worlds, and other times they are literally traumatized by what happened and completely and emotionally shut off. Perfering, acknowledging and even having relations aren't a requirement at all. They do help plot especially for adult literature but aren't required.
NTR doesn't require her to leave you at all, or ever enjoy being raped and she can easily despise her rapist. NTR don't even require her to cheat or be raped at all. All that's required is character A preserving that's what's happening.
NTR isn't a fetish, it isn't even a genre, it's simply a plot device that's used to evoke an emotional reaction. If an unintended emotional reaction is evoked, chances are it still isn't NTR but rather instead someone whom just can't handle Adult based themes and lives far from reality. If the intention is to cause a reaction and it doesn't, then it's likely shitty writing, not actually NTR or so mind numbingly stupid that it literally hurts to think about.
Most people think of NTR as a fetish, it isn't. It isn't a fetish. It's a story device that's actually so common that most people aren't even aware that's what they are witnessesing. Many movies, TV shows, video games and songs have been including NTR as a basic story plot device for years, such as the Simpsons, they have several NTR plot episodes. Such as the Episode, "The New Kid on the Block" in fact NTR wasn't ever really used as bluntly until the Bezerker Manga, this is a prime example of what i mean by, your rapist doesn't even need to be acknowledged. She flat out, forgets EVERYTHING and still ends up in love with Guts, BUT! It did have that emotional reaction that was intended, that was good NTR it worked because of how well everything was build up and how well it was executed.
Now back on Track, there is alot more to it but I'm not going into all of that here, so let's stick with what we know MC is character A, any of the girls are character B and any of the other guys are now character C.
Is any of the women taken away from the MC by his perception in a way that is ment to and does cause an emotional response by any of the make characters? Currently the answer is No. Nothing of the sort has happened. Because MC is well aware of what circumstances the others are in and therefore isn't surprised by anything going on, can this change? Maybe i guess NTR could be added later on but i have a hard time thinking that it will be the story isn't really geared in that direction.
That being said, if you can't stand the sight of seeing a female character with anyone other than the MC, even if she is never going to truly be a love interest, then this game isn't for you and i recommend either WMV or My New Family, were you are safe from any other guy getting laid anywhere what's so ever.
Chow.
