I think itis possible in the so-called "Bystander/friend" route, where you fail to get into a relationship and stay a close friend only. But I never played that route, so I do not know the exact pathway.Is there any way to be in a relationship with her at the start but avoid taking her virginity? Love points at 4, or 5?
I'm currently on my first blind playthrough and I had picked the "hardcore/unavoidable" NTR (netorare) mode because I assumed that if I picked the "normal/soft" ntr mode that it would be too easy to avoid like in most other games just by being nice and protective towards the wife and not cheating on her. Is that not the case here with this particular "normal/soft" ntr mode if for instance I pick the hacker path and use snoop liberally?I would also add that to avoid NTR while still having it enabled, you should choose the profession that gives you better stats, not the one that gives you ability to spy on your wife. Don't worry about it, you're not actually doing any work.
But if you choose the spying profession, then to avoid sharing your wife or having her cheat on you, you must NOT do any spying. Spying can more easily lead to sharing (if you have a good relationship with the wife) or cheating (if your relationship is bad). If you do not spy, nothing bad happens, not even behind your back.
Well, if you want unavoidable NTR than you choice was good, because the hardcore NTR mode means you loose every skill/stat check, no matter how good you are.I'm currently on my first blind playthrough and I had picked the "hardcore/unavoidable" NTR (netorare) mode because I assumed that if I picked the "normal/soft" ntr mode that it would be too easy to avoid like in most other games just by being nice and protective towards the wife and not cheating on her.

Hard to avoid NTR > Unavoidable NTR > Easy to avoid (fake) NTR > No NTR in my book.
Ideally I'd rather have very hard to avoid NTR than unavoidable NTR so that I can feel like there's a point to making choices/decisions and that when NTR happens it's because I wasn't good enough, that I truly tried my best to prevent it and truly lost, rather than the game simply being rigged from the start. The more NTR can feel like it happened against the player's will (as opposed to feeling like the player forced NTR to happen) the greater the shock/sensation/kick it provides.Well, if you want unavoidable NTR than you choice was good, because the hardcore NTR mode means you loose every skill/stat check, no matter how good you are.
As a romance/sharing/swinging player, I would not touch the hardcore mode with a beanpole. (I speedrun it once for completeness reason and I am glad the other paths are far more to my liking)
As for "normal" NTR mode, avoiding NTR there depends on your traits/stats/skills and choices made. Using "snoop" makes it easier to fall into the NTR trap, but it does not need to. I made a "full snoop run" and was still able to win and keep Mei´s heart to the end of current content, you simply have to strategically use snoop and everything is ok on that front. I loath NTR deeply and I am very happy that we have really great romance/sharing/swinging paths in WDR too.
As I wrote earlier, the hardcore mode you enabled makes most choises completely irrelevant, you loose no matter what, that is total beta cuck territory.Ideally I'd rather have very hard to avoid NTR than unavoidable NTR so that I can feel like there's a point to making choices/decisions and that when NTR happens it's because I wasn't good enough, that I truly tried my best to prevent it and truly lost, rather than the game simply being rigged from the start.

Was there meant to be a hint early in the game that using "snoop" makes it more likely to get NTRd for some reason or is it something players only become aware of after reaching the end/after checking the gamefiles/walkthrough?
Right now in my early hardcore ntr playthrough I already regret picking USF and using snoop because while I'm already seeing the wife getting kissed and her pussy rubbed by her boss during snoops, the MC seems to do absolutely nothing with that information, no confrontation, no reaction, no drama. He's acting like a passive NTS MC, not an ntr one, unrelatable, a buzzkill.
I'm going to have to restart and switch to the non-snoop job/PDC so that we only see what happens right in front of MC's eyes and in the hopes that he actually shows some appropriate reactions to what he sees right in front of him that way, some real anxiety, fear, pain, rage, loss etc.
I assume that if I went "normal NTR"+PDC+ picking all the obvious nice and protective choices and decisions it would lead to less than 50% chance of getting NTRd so I'd miss out?
Please read my post above! Look at the part about love rival points. The hardcore mode makes you losing every time, but it does not impact the love and rival points by itself. If you have high love points, even the hardcore mode is not about flying off the handle.On "hardcore NTR" PDC mode the MC just walked in on the wife fucking her boss during her birthday party and then they all act like it's no big deal. "See ya later, let's go to bed and talk about it some other day. You're in a good mood this morning" etc. That's the same passive/uncaring or even aroused reaction he also had when he caught them using snoop on hardcore NTR USF.
I get that this is a game where the story doesn't just end with the NTR reveal and that are several paths and different points on the timeline for each path where the NTR can be revealed for the first time so potentially not all first reveals are treated the same. But if he generally acts passive like this when it's revealed, like he's ok with it then he's a NTS MC, not an NTR one.
They should really get around to fixing thatI believe not. She approaches the MC and says that she's ready.
This is my preferred NTR also - I'm a big fan of WDR but it's definitely too easy to avoid the NTR (and some of the choices which I feel like should be forced are not - i.e. there will be an NTR choice which is only available if the rival hearts are high enough, but even with the high hearts you can just ... choose the other one.). WDR is still better than most on this front - I can try to snoop/share without going so far that the FMC leaves/cheats.Ideally I'd rather have very hard to avoid NTR than unavoidable NTR so that I can feel like there's a point to making choices/decisions and that when NTR happens it's because I wasn't good enough, that I truly tried my best to prevent it and truly lost, rather than the game simply being rigged from the start.
