For no real reason other than boredom, I thought I'd share some thoughts on random netorare/netori games I've played recently.
Kussetsu
I bought this - paid actual money - because I love the anime adaptation. I don't know if anyone has seen that relatively obscure OVA, but you haven't I definitely recommend giving it a watch: it's hardcore netori with smoothly animated ero scenes and "artistic" direction (like several other ero-anime from the early 00s). The story is that the main character wants to steal every woman in his best friend's life. He despises him because he's weathly and popular and apparently hides his true desires behind a nice guy facade, or something.
In the VN, however, there are only individual heroine routes. Morever, the three that I played before recycle binning the game were pathetically short (2-3 hours) and all involved the MC starting out the bad guy with rape and deception but becoming the good guy; in some cases helping the girls where the best friend did nothing. To say I was disappointed would be an understatement. AVOID.
Yanzuma Koharu ~Omae no Yome wa Ore no Mono~
There's a lot to like about this VN, like the art and the fantastic comic book-style presentation with the cut-ins showing different shots, close-ups, and whatnot, but even so I feel a bit let down. Koharu went from dutiful housewife to uberslut in no time at all (and it was far too obvious what she was getting up to), and at no point did she ever come across as an interesting character. Don't get me wrong: she's sexy as hell and so are a lot of scenes in the game (the condom blowjob zomg), but it's hard to feel that sense of crushing betrayal when the heroine has such a shallow personality. Great porn but that's about it.
Uwaki Tsuma ~Kyonyuu Hitozuma Midare Manshon~
Another Netori game, this one set in a housing complex for employees of the fashion or cosmetics company that the MC's wife works for. It was the character designs and the MC-cheating-on-wife-with-other-married-women conceit that drew me to this one. And I can't say I was disappoined: there's a lot of hot as hell sex, especially with the cumslut black-haired woman who initiates everything. She's the former superior of the MC's wife, now at home while her husband still works at the company. Since she isn't getting much sex from him and knows the MC won't be getting much sex from his wife, she decides they'll... assist one another. And then she draws two other married women into their depravity. MC's guilt aside, it's all fairly shallow, but I wasn't expecting much more. Still need to finish up and will go back at some point.
Tsuma no Biniku o Ijiru Chichi no Futoi Yubi
Now THIS is what I'm talking about. Only maybe half way through the game - just now at the part where the old man is going in for the kill having slowly, and masterfully, worn down Kanae's resistance - and it's taking me a while because I want to fap to every goddamn scene. The build-up is awesome. Unlike with Koharu, watching Kanae cheat on the MC is painful because she's portrayed as a genuinely loving wife with a vivacious personality. Also, she's gorgeous and sexy. The art is great. My only slight disappointment are the ways in which the writing ahderes to the usual NTR cliches, such as the old man having a massive, endlessly ejaculating dong. Four times in a single scene not only makes the scene last longer than it needs to, but shatters my already fragile suspension of disbelief. Still, this could conceivably end up being Boku no Kanojo/Anekoi tier.
Happy New Year, NTR fiends, and my apologies for the rambling.
I hope you can help me, and thanks in advance for your suggestions.
Try the last game I typed about above. The old man is definitely motivated by desire for his son's wife as opposed to trolling him/humiliating her.
