Exactly, that's what I'm saying. It doesn't make sense, but that was your example, just replacing 'NTR' with 'cheating'.This doesn't quite make a lot of sense? As in the example I gave Kirito and Asuna get together in the end, but it was still considered cheating by my definition.
For example, let's just say that for arguments sake, Inoda after the stormy night happened in the climax of part 1, went out of the house and got hit by a truck and transported to another world, never to be seen again. Asuna is very sad for awhile, Kirito less so but he still laments what happened, then six months later they have both moved on, and their relationship slowly goes back to what it was before.
At the end of the day, was Asuna stolen?
Let's make another example then, Asuna's mom and dad aren't separated in another universe, yet one time she goes out to drink and gets fucked in a bathroom stall by some tanned teen that suspiciously looks a lot like Hebishima. The two of them never meet ever again, did she get NTRed, or was she simply cheating?
Let's say that you are reading a murder mystery novel, instead of a normal detective novel, the whole book until the final 30 pages focused on finding the killer of a highschool girl who went missing only leaving behind a small pool of blood on her bed. But it is suddenly revealed that she never died, instead she just had a very heavy period, and that she went off in a mystical journey to find a mountain of ice cream, and the climax of the novel is the detective retiring and living together with the school girl as they both manage an ice cream shop.
Beside reading the worst thing ever put on paper in human history, at the end of the day, were you actually reading a murder mystery if no one got murdered?
As I stated already, without the focus on a partner suffering from the cheating, it's not NTR for me, just cheating. I think it's best if we leave it at that and agree to disagree.
