discussion NTR is not a dream, its a nightmare. Just say NO to NTR!

[Kernist]

Yeah, you are right, a lot of people confuse these things and the fact that many sites still use just one tag: NTR doesn't help. You described different types well, here is my opinion:

NTR 1 - I tried some of the games however I abandoned the most because they simply made me angry - it seems like I am not a fan of NTR. Example is Henteria Chronicles, it is a very praised title and the fact that I couldn't finish it probably proves that it is indeed a great game, I was very angry.

NTR 2 - Does nothing to me. I skip these games because I don't care at all if there is some love interest of the character I play. If it is main focus then probably I won't enjoy the game.

NTR 3 - I am completely neutral, what happens on the sidelines doesn't interest me.

NETORI - I really like netori. It's not something that I particularly seek, but having it in a game is a plus. I also play games that focus on it, like NTR Dojo or NTR Legend or Handyman Legend.

NETORASE - not my thing, it's basically playing a cuckold and I am just not interested in it at all.

I share your tastes, I'm not a fan of NTR, but I like Netori, especially because Netori is usually seen as "Good" when you snatch a partner from a jerk.

And it really pisses me off that there's only one NTR tag when it comes to classifying games when the genre itself is so varied, I've seen devs add Netori to their games and get the NTR/Cheating tag which drives away people and attracts others who are perhaps looking for a different kind of NTR, in the end nobody is happy.

Just swinging (ba dum tss) through to say I wish there were more games focused on a male MC in a loving relationship with homewreckers throwing themselves at him. Not just generic "MC screws every woman in town", but actually focusing on the infidelity/jealousy aspect. Most games don't really want you to feel bad about cheating; I kinda want some that lean into it.

There's My Girlfriend's Friends but not a lot else I can think of (and also it updates like once a year, generously).

NETORI (NTRI) being the bad guy/ scumbag stealing the girl has its appeal. But even then, I don't really want to know her husband more than the knowledge that he's a loser and doesn't deserve her.
I mean, I really don't want to see some dude living a nightmare.

I'm kinda the opposite. If the game's kink is stealing girls, let me care about the relationship one way or the other- I want to either feel guilty that I'm doing this to a nice guy (but then do it anyway) or feel gleeful satisfaction that I'm doing it to some jerk who deserves worse.

 

[Flamypaisen]

If I'm going to play a game with NTR content it has to be netori for me to play it, but even so the guy who's going to be the victim also has to be a scumbag because if he's a nice guy I'll feel bad lol.

NTR 1 is the only one I think about when I hear NTR. The only one that has the jealousy aspect that is what most NTR fans are looking for. It's also the only one that has that specific je ne sais quoi that we don't have a clean English word for.

---

NTR 2 is your typical female protagonist corruption game. The usual tag would be cheating, corruption (MC cheats on her husband etc).

NTR 3 sounds like just voyeurism to me.

Netori is a typical male protagonist game. You have sex with numerous LIs whether they are in a relationship or not. Again, this is just the cheating tag (MC's LI is cheating on her husband etc).

Netorase is just swinging or sharing.

For these last four, we don't need a specific Japanese word for them because we have the words in English to explain what's happening.

NTR, Netorare, the act of finding out that your loved one has fallen to corruption and having sex with other men leading you to feel humiliated and jealous and betrayed and destroyed, it's a very specific thing and deserves its own term.

For the other ones just use the English words cuz they're perfectly fine.

 

[deviator555]

Not much into NTR, but if I'm feeling it I usually only gravitate towards types where the MC is not ok with it (so anything not Netorase). If he's into sharing, it makes it more boring for me.

Netori feels pretty distinct from the rest, I feel like most would be ok with it. Especially if the love interest stops engaging with their partner and only engages with the MC.

 

[Seo In-guk]

I like the netori, the ntr he mentions is a no.
There are games and manhwas that Netori applies because husbands or partners treat their wives badly, so I come in to corrupt or also when he is a princess: v

So we shouldn't call it Netorare either, just infidelity, the problem isn't using Japanese words or something like that, the problem is that with their clear differences the 5 are always labeled as NTR and that's not right, it's like saying that Terraria, Minecraft, Starbound and Core Keeper are the same, when they are clearly not.

The point of calling it Netori and Netorase doesn't come from me, that's how they are called and that's how many people know them, if it were to use the words in English then we shouldn't call it NTR or Netorare either, just infidelity or deception.

There's no need to rack our brains trying to create terms in English when they already exist in Japanese, people recognize them, they make sense and we're comfortable with them. The same with Isekai, Shonen, Shoujo, etc.

The only way for me to stomach NTR is if it is a kind of punishment if you treat a girl REALLY badly, you can do EVERYTHING you want if you corrupt her right, but there's a catch, you can edge her up to 5 times, the sixth time if you refuse to have sex or edge her again then it won't show you the scene, but when you return home to her she's not horny anymore and greets you normally, if you go to her room and click the laundry basket there's an item called ''cum stained panties'' which seemed fresh meaning that since you didn't give her some she went to get some

 

[MrJay]

I am 100% anti Netorare and Netorase. Weirdly, I really like Netori sort of "in theory" but I absolutely don't want the guy in the bedroom or anywhere near the girl I'm stealing from him. In fact I want him out of her life. I would even go as far as to say I would really enjoy a story beat involving unaliving an abusive husband/boyfriend or something and claim his woman for myself, showing her how a man treats her right.

NTR is just kinda sad, like i just don't get the enjoyment from being a cuck

I don't like to share so if it's my girl, no. If it's someone else's girl sure. As long as the someone else is out.

 

[livelyfish]

Yeah, I just don't like it. Kinda gets on my nerves.

 

[Azraelith]

If you have to have cheating. Best it be Netori than Netorare/rase.

 

[User_158771]

I wonder why NTR is such a contentious topic. As for myself, I will admit to begrudgingly enjoying it in that "I'd never do this in real life" kind of way. It's a rush of anger and jealousy and for some reason arousal. Again, not something I'd ever engage in in real life, but in fantasy... damn.

In the same boat here, I totally respect people not wanting it but I actually couldn't care less in a game, so it's strange to see this absolute aversion to NTR all the time.

 

[Tisty]

Well I think in game is fine especially with the option to opt out of those content. I treat ntr it like shooting and gta style games
