What About NTR

My Thoughts on What About NTR

Alright, let's dive into "What About NTR." The title definitely grabbed my attention, and I went in expecting… well, you know. But after reading a bit and digesting what other readers had to say, I've got some mixed feelings.

First Impressions

The premise is intriguing. It feels like there's a definite inspiration from "Inside of Adult Game as a Former Hero," which isn't necessarily a bad thing. The initial hook of the MC dealing with a potentially manipulative Goddess and navigating a world where, let's just say, the heroines have already been through a lot, definitely sparked my curiosity. I was ready for some complex emotions and maybe a bit of revenge.

What Works Well

The MC's personality seems to be a strong point. He's described as cold and capable of handling trash talk, which, in a story like this, is almost a requirement. The story seems to have a good sense of justice and the MC is willing to fight and get back at those who have wronged him. There's a certain satisfaction to be had in seeing him stand up for himself, especially against those who underestimate him.

Areas of Concern

Okay, here's where things get a little complicated. The "NTR" aspect, or lack thereof, seems to be a major sticking point for some readers. The novel has been described as not really being NTR. Some feel the heroines are portrayed in such a negative light – selfish, shallow, and even borderline incompetent – that it's hard to feel any real emotional connection to them or any sense of loss when things happen. This can diminish the impact of the story's darker themes. It is also mentioned that the characters are very frustrating and can be hard to read.

Final Verdict

"What About NTR" has potential, but it seems to be struggling with its identity. If you're going in expecting a deep dive into the complexities of NTR, you might be disappointed. However, if you're looking for a story about an MC who's not afraid to fight back against those who've wronged him, and you can stomach some potentially unlikeable characters, it might be worth a try. I think that the novel has the potential to be good, but it needs to work on character development.
