Has anyone ever done their dissertation on this? Sounds like one could get a doctoral degree for it.
I would say: Drop the the Japanese terms (even if they describe specific types of it) because if you ask 200 people about netorare, you will get ~200 different explanations and expectations.
But the abbreviation NTR as a catchword can be kept, although in combination with other words. That way it's easier to recognize.
Let me try to explain. These are examples and I hope it's clear for what I'm going for.
First there are the
main NTR tags:
NTR (cheating LI) or NTR (cuckoldry)
NTR (cheating MC)
NTR (stolen LI)
pretty much the common definition of netorare
NTR (swinging)
happy cheating?
NTR (sharing)
would probably include pimping your girls, but that could also be it's own tag
NTR (stealing)
this is Netori, could go without the NTR prefix because I don't think anyone is bothered by it
Then there can or should(?) be
additional tags, which are not needed to be used on their own but with one of the above.
(Many hentai sites uses this kind of additional tags in different variants. For example: [Lesbian] [Females only] makes clear that there are no guys involved in that story)
NTR (avoidable) or NTR (unavoidable)
there is no really a need for both, right? As a side tag, there isn't a need for a tag for every kind of NTR
NTR (flashback)
as in a shown scene or as a told story
NTR (backstory)
not shown or described but implied or mentioned
NTR (between LIs)
could also be a standalone?
NTR (happy cuck)
when the MC likes it, e.g. Netorase
I know this is kinda much and there are
probably most likley
more or better formulatet ones, but my point is, that everyone can quickly understand what that tag stands for without consulting a definition-page.
