I feel like ryu is actually one of the more aware ntr protagonist that i've seen, he clearly knows something is weird in the village and also he notices when the female characters are acting weird or different. Now i kinda do agree with the small dick/Ed trope, its overplayed and honestly i think mc's still losing with a normal sized dick or maybe even big dick would hit harder cause then its like they have no excuse, female characters can even say the antagonist is just better which would feed into the ntr even more imo, but even with all the awareness ryu has we know how this game is going to end, ryu is going to lose everything at some point only "good" thing this guy gets is maybe an ending where he just leaves the village rather then him being the only guy getting cucked in the village, oh and the soldier guy that likes the purple hair girl forgot his name yea there both doomed.
