Recommending Western Sharing Games List

I never played BILH until its build just before this update, and played it straight through. I enjoyed it.
It felt complete at that point, or at least like I had seen the whole "story".
Am not interested in an "NTR Update - stage one" continuation of what I saw as an NTS story, so I will wait for quite some time to play it again...maybe.

Italian Slut Wife is just one NTR trap after another, at EVERY choice presented. I am currently apparently being oblivious to the shenanigans of my arsehole "friends" who seem only too willing to deceive me at every turn, with the wife free to do whatever she likes to "tease" them, whilst continuing to treat me like a cuck in front of them, even though she has apparently agreed to ask permission to do anything "extra", as I have narrowly, through very judicious choices managed to arrive at the NTS option. But fuck, that's the very slimmest form of NTS I have ever seen, so borderline NTR as to be painful, with the dev making the MC (without choices) watch every scene unfold just like a cuck would, beating off and cumming everywhere copiously, as the wife pushes against every boundary. (And yes, I apparently still have a cuck fetish, small dick and cum too soon)
That ain't NTS. Fuck that, really. Perhaps I just need to play the cuck/NTR route and see what the fuck I missed by expecting any control whatsoever in the outcome of the game. Some devs are just cruel, dude. I get the idea that dev thinks "All Sharers are just loser cucks". So yeah, that game sucks, even though she is so fucken hot.....fuck, I wish I didn't love sluts so much sometimes, haha.

LSS - it's the whole Alpha/Beta bullshit at the start, which so obviously continues to have ramifications further down the track (I tried to like it, really. I got all the points I needed). But in the end, the girls just ain't worth it apart from one, and she's already a slut, so no real fun because apparently, I'm supposed to enjoy turning the others into sluts. But, I don't like any of them, at all. So, no sale.....unless someone tells me that Vanessa will be my full-time cuckqueen/sharing LI, then hell yeah.

I don't like NTR, so I am hesitant to play an update called 'NTR update'.

yeah truthfully only reason I like the game alot is cause I love teasing and while the NTS is borderline NTR my viewpoint is as long as she is truthful and honest to the MC I can forgive her breaking the deal but yeah it's really shitty for a so called NTS path. As I feel like you have to be a real tolerant or forgiving person like myself to even really call it NTS. Only reason I even call it borderline NTS and not NTR is cause of how she tells him about it and since there is apparently a NTR path just to not confuse the 2 paths lol. But really it's more like NTR with forgiveness and honestly.

Yeah for me I play LSS more for the non sharing path if im being honest. Sharing for me in that game is just for the sake of seeing the content but not really interested in it. The sharing just doesn't work for me beyond hot scenes in LSS.

But most devs call NTS NTR anyway. The update was mostly NTS for because I love her anyway, not NTR.

 

[sagerock820]

The only reason they use NTR for NTS is because there is no NTS tag here on F95. When naming their own update, he could have used 'NTS' or 'sharing' instead, the NTR is misleading.

So, if its NTS, then maybe I'll have a look.

It is just a damn shame that the bloody TAG discussion has been dragging on so long, with everyone agreeing that the NTR tag needs updating asap, I just don't get why any efficient admin can't just add it. It is really not that hard. I wonder what the real excuse is....
Almost 10% of games listed in Latest Updates have the NTR tag. That's a big field to sort through, trying to find out which type it is...

From reading the aforementioned thread, it seems to be tied into some upgrade to the whole site. Follow-up there if you want to know more.

I feel the same. But the problem with tags is finding the minimum that could satisfy everyone. Most of these games are CYOA in some for or another, so tags often apply to different paths, making it so that filtering out makes you miss games that do have paths you may enjoy. I guess more than a dozen different tags for what is now tagged as NTR, I'd like to exclude "humiliation" and "beta MC". However, like I said, a game can have a path where the MC takes the back seat, but another where he doesn't, so filtering out what you don't want to see may not be the best approach. If you had "sub MC", "dom MC" and "assertive MC", that could work, as a game that had different paths could add multiple of those tags and you could add what you want to your positive filter, rather than to exclusions. But that, translated into multiple tags for the nuance in all other kinks of fetishes... Take humiliation, I could go with "playful humiliation" and "occasional humiliation" but would avoid "humiliation focused" or "cruel humiliation". I do wish it were possible, don't think the current "approved list" gets there but, in any case, new tags would be most welcome, whichever they were, so I'm with you on this.

It does make for an interesting "case study", I wonder if this "level of nuance" would matter as much in other sorting systems, where the content weren't focused on sex.

they have the replacement tags set up, they're just too indecisive/perfectionist to roll them out. I cant wait to get away from the japanese words and just use plain english descriptors.

italian slut wife is for sure a majority ntr game....though ive a soft spot in critiquing stuff like that as the tone is very light.

The writing, the characters facial expressions, etc. It reminds me a lot of "Fate Wont Separate Us" in tone. There's a levity throughout - despite having very ntrish themes (dont disagree with you there), it's jokesy and fun. Having said that ill totally respect any sharing fan's objection to games like this.

Oh good lord...
Playing through Our Red String...
So, Lena can bang Louise (or Mike and others?) but looses her shit over Ian kissing (or even having sex) with Holly?
And the Ian/Lena relationship isn't really defined, yet?
Give me a break...

I really like this VN, but damn it's a minefield of variables, some of which are just completely, mind bogglingly hypocritical...
Damn it, just give me a list of choices to end up with the Ian, Lena, Holly throuple and let's call it a kinetic novel...
I'll get it figured out, but gee whiz, just make it make sense...

Ah, the hardships of planning the perfect playthrough with URM!

The pdf walkthrough and mod are very detailed and helpful. But, good grief, it's not until 50+ pages later that you learn how to make the route "work"... And there's so many other little twists, turns, don't go through this door but jump through this window and key hole... And you try to avoid too many spoilers looking ahead to figure out the route, but then you have to go back 5+ chapters and replay it all to make one tiny different choice...

I have to reverse engineer this story from Chapter 12/13 all the way back to before chapter 6-7 to get this route to work correctly...

I'll figure it out. Just, come on man, seriously...

YES! While you won't get banned from writing something non-english here, you are encouraged to use English, as this is an English-speaking AND international forum. I believe the same should go for tags as well. Whatever nuance you get from using a Japanese term is just wasted anyway, as I've never seen two people in one thread agree on what Netorare or -rase means. If they say it can't be translated, I say it's probably inherently incomprehensible.

tbh it took me like 4-6 months to finally get used the the terms Netorare and Netorase when I would see it mentioned here as the spelling looked so close I always got confused without a google search

Thankful as I am for the PDF WTs, I feel that most of them aren't built as a roadmap. There's an entire family of them that simply highlight variable changes and conditions for each choice, much like the most WT mods or URM do. It's still useful when you're able to see ahead which values are needed for each choice (I don't mind spoilers at all, I found that they don't prevent immersion with me, and help me play more leisurely). But I especially like when WTs go the extra mile and give you a flow chart or something where every route is graphically represented, along with the choices and conditions leading to them.

There are still debates about the definition of cuckold, what is and isn't in the cuckold fetish, cheating vs hotwife vs stag/vixen...
We can't even agree on English words, so no way we're gonna agree on Japanese words and translations...

I admit that's me right there at least when it comes to cuckhold as some things ive seen people consider cuckhold I don't on a personal level. Even if it goes against the actual definition Im a believer in if something doesn't make you feel like a cuckhold it isn't to you lol. But I always say only on a personal level / to me I don't see it as such as I 100% can see why it would be to others when the subject comes up.

I'm by no means an expert but someone on this forum (not sure which thread) pointed out that NetoraSe, "sensu strictu", in Hentai culture, still involves MC passivity and humiliation, just that he doesn't go against it, and the LI doesn't get stolen. So, in this sense, it would more closely resemble the western idea of cuckoldry, than other forms of partner sharing.

Here's a ChatGPT take on cultural differences regarding these themes - no idea how accurate it is, the damned LLM has been known to bend facts and outright lie.

• Western narratives (especially in indie games) tend to emphasize character growth and agency. Even in morally ambiguous or boundary-pushing stories, there's often an "arc"—a transformation, redemption, or at least a lesson learned.
  • This aligns with broader storytelling traditions in the West, where protagonists are expected to struggle but ultimately overcome challenges. Even tragedies tend to have a purpose or catharsis.
• Eastern (especially Japanese) adult visual novels are more likely to embrace pure fetish experiences or dark, no-escape narratives like NTR (netorare). In a way, they often operate under the logic of "if you’re playing for the fantasy, why not go all the way?"
  • The appeal of inescapable bad ends might come from the broader Japanese narrative tradition, where tragedy and fatalism play a bigger role (e.g., classic samurai stories, tragic romance in anime/manga, etc.).
  • There's also a BDSM-like element to some Japanese storytelling—playing with submission, loss of control, and power dynamics, which can extend into VN themes.

Sounds a bit bland and superficial but does highlight some interesting aspects that I don't see often mentioned in attempts to "define" NTR/NTS, etc.

To me cuck always implied humiliation. I am not a fan of humiliation.

 

[Dessolos]

Kind of the same to me but it really depends on the context of the humiliation too. I can see some playful verbal humiliation not really being cucky. Usually I see it as not so playful humiliation with starting to cross over into the realm of Femdom as well
