This specific type of NTR where the actual boyfriend takes a backseat to the main action is a love it or hate it kind of deal from what I've seen. Either you treat it more like a netori and it becomes a decent game with good art, or you treat it like a netorare and it barely exists as a core fetish and functions solely as a plot device. I haven't seen too much Touhou so the complaint about the preexisting character concept is lost on me, so I don't have an opinion on that.Honestly, I like the art enough, but this style of huge breasts seems less a particular taste, and more of, perhaps oddly, a lack of taste. It's like you had the blandest soup ever imaginable, and instead of spicing it up, you just kept getting more of it, that's something that always comes to mind when I see giant titties like this. At the least it's not the giga building sized titties you'll see in other work, but still, it's on that stairway. To be clear, it's on the stairway just after the landing between the "okay, you like them big" steps and the "I think you have a problem" steps.
I also hate this sort of NTR content, where an artist will take some popular character with no romantic prospects for miles, and then invent a boyfriend or husband for that character just to NTR the guy. It's just weightless, there's nothing to this shitty NTR. And I'm not saying it's shitty cause it's NTR, I'm saying that by NTR standards, it's shitty. The art is nice, the scenarios are probably nice, I've yet to play this one but I got everything on NTR Police Kaede from the same dev, so I'm basing that assumption on that game, but the NTR itself is just completely weightless, it's pointless. This dev always puts NTR in the titles, maybe it wasn't so that you'd know before you even look at the description that it's NTR; maybe if he hadn't put it in the title nobody would even realize it was NTR, that's how lacking in impact it is. "Oh, there goes her boyfriend or whatever, shame he didn't stick around for long."
This one is even worse for it, he just took this preexisting character with no lover, alakazamed a boyfriend for her out of the blue, and now it's NTR, wow! She's fucking someone who isn't her boyfriend (who was created three minutes ago solely to be her cuck boyfriend), isn't that wild guys! Go on fellas, jerk to that, isn't that the quality you've been waiting for?! Am I getting pranked? Is this whole scenario, is this material reality existing in this moment just to mess with one DigitalMan? Am I getting punk'd? Are you guys messing with me? Come on, cut the cameras, I'm not laughing anymore. You can't seriously tell me that the blow up beach ball with "bOyFRienD" written on it that the girl is getting fucked by dudes in front of makes a story NTR, you're actually joking. You mean to tell me that a girl getting fucked by men in front of her volleyball-with-a-face-on-it "boyfriend" hits those NTR notes for you? Seriously? I'm disappointed.
Porn games of this nature are usually divided into two types in terms of what they want to achieve, they either focus strictly on the raunchiness of the concept of NTR, or make the player empathize with the person being cucked, to the point that they sometimes even insert themselves into their position if the game does it well enough. I think this one falls under the first type, where it really just says "Here, imagine all these scenarios of a girl getting fucked by a guy with all this power in a variety of scenarios," and doesn't really delve into that seriousness a normal NTR game would want to explore to reach the player. Not that one is better than the other, but that this is inherently a game where story potential and whatnot won't be realized in any meaningful way.
I translated this because I enjoy hypnosis/common sense alteration games (where being weightless is pretty standard most of the time) so it wasn't too big of a deal for me, but I understand where you're coming from. I've translated a few NTR stories in my time where the substance was in the storytelling and it was very interesting to translate.
