First of all, I need to clarify where I stand. I am fed up by this NTR discussion, not only on this thread buy in general. I don't care one way or another unless it effects the story. If there is no need for NTR but devs force it just to have it in game, I don't like it. If there should be NTR but devs try to avoid it by using terrible excuses to avoid it then I don't like it.I'm sorry bro... but just no. There is absolutely NO NTR in this game. There is Netorase (NTS/NTRS), but no netorare. Netorare is to be taken from in the tradational sense of the word. However, on here it doesn't need to be stealing of the LI, just cheating or for an LI to choose someone else besides the MC.
The character stops being a love interest the moment you avoid/decline her. The MC has no interest in that character, so she isn't being taken from him, and the MC would have no reason to be jealous either. So even the F95 definition of the word (which is a really bad definition and somewhat broad), doesn't even fit in this case.
I can understand why some people wouldn't like this content, but I never understood why so many people on here complain about avoidable/optional content. However, I wish the term NTR(netorare), would stop getting thrown around so much on here, it's used so loosely at this point that it's starting to lose meaning.
Now, there is a certain problem with Netorare which is the meaning of the word is kinda vague. V-rare rule in Japanese is heavily related to the emotions and if the act done to first person makes them unhappy then this grammar works. For this game, I believe Suzie and Kari's stuff is netorare. Suzie left, was with an another man, MC's child is no more, made MC miserable which is kinda important etc. It checks all the boxes. Kari's thing is a little trickier and iirc there was some bug involved too but can be NTR too. Kiki's stuff is in the past but I am not sure we can cross it out.
Sorry Maviarab I'll stop being that guy. Anyways, I am not strongly opinionated about it. I think this game has bigger problems than a NTR discussion.
