It seems that NTR games often go the route of the girl being blackmailed or in some way forced to NTR the MC, and only eventually being corrupted to the point where she does it willingly.
This game is no exception, every route has some sort of "ice breaker" for the other men with the Daitsuke route being the one that deviates from this trope the most. He uses brute force to get in and Ryoka is basically overwhelmed by his advances, while slowly catching feelings despite herself.
In every route Ryoka is the one being approched and I would say that there is an untapped niche in this game where Ryoka is the one that gets her eyes on someone else. At first thought this seems to go against her character and the very premise of the game. Ryoka is portrayed as innocent and more importantly, in love with Keita.
However, her love for Keita is also very innocent, we never see anything that indicates that she has the hots for him in other ways, the "good" ending does not even have a sex scene and as childhood friends their relationship is already so innocent. I think there is room for a route where Ryoka is having a sexual crush, not a romantic crush, just sexual (initially at least). The early events on this route would not so much be Ryoka interracting with whomever the antagonist of the route is, but more about her coming to realise what she is feeling and her inner conflicts (love towards Keita and lust towards the other guy). Maybe the player catches her staring at this guy and maybe she has some "alone time" at night.
Ryoka would probably never "go for it" though, even if she was not in love with Keita, so there would probably have to be some event that pushes her in that direction. Some conflict with Keita paired with sexual advances by the antagonist maybe. But whatever happens, it would be different from the other routes since it is established that its something she desires from the start
I think a route like that could have interesting themes, her love for the BOY she grew up with versus the lust towards a MAN. Its a different sort of corruption, she is not corrupted by some sex offender, she is instead corrupted by her own nature.
I wrote this using this game as reference point, but I'd say this could go for many NTR games and I think that with the right execution, introducing some agency on part of the girl in the story, does not have to go against the core principles of this or the genre.
