Chapter Text
To whomever chooses to read this collection of works,
First of all -- thank you for your time. Whether or not you end up enjoying the work, I appreciate that you took the time to at least give it a shot. Considering this is hardly a field where much writing takes place, I would not have blamed you for just skipping over it altogether.
Before I post my collection of stories, however, I felt it necessary to expound a little about why I chose to create this collection in the first place. After all, it's not like very many people care about this to the point of writing about it. And yet, I feel that without proper context, the purpose of this collection might've been misunderstood and unnecessary misunderstandings would've inevitably arisen.
So, please allow me to explain.
Netorare, or NTR, is a genre of fiction within Japanese media -- specifically anime and manga -- in which a character, typically male, has a loved one -- typically but not always a romantic partner or romantic interest -- "stolen" away by an antagonist, usually culminating in the antagonist using their larger penis to convince the female lead, though sex, that they are the superior man. Or, in the case of a female antagonist, uses their superior sex skill to "steal" the male lead from the female lead. The means by which this is achieved vary -- in many cases, it is through blackmail, through rape, through insistent seduction attempts, a mix of these, or others. The authors most famous for works involving this genre are all doujinshi artists, such as Dramus, Rocket Monkey, Laliberte, Terasu MC, Arakure, Seto Yuuki, Shoot the Moon, etc.
That is not to say that there are not mainstream NTR series -- a simple Google search will evidently prove that they do exist. And there does exist a subset of NTR fiction, called Netorase, in which the cuckoldry is typically consensual and with the approval of the cuckolded partner (although many of these stories also involve dubious consent).
However, what many doujinshi NTR series have that mainstream series tend to avoid (for obvious reasons) is the glorification of cheating. In most of the NTR doujinshi you can find, cheating is seen as desirable and valid even in happy relationships. Blame for the (typically but not exclusively) female lead cheating is almost universally placed on the male lead, with consistent, disparaging comments regarding penile sizes and their inability to satisfy them not due to lack of skill, but lack of size. In these plots, women are essentially portrayed as constantly sex-seeking actors who are incapable of rational thought and whose morality is so easily changeable that a single night of mind-blowing sex will have them go from being a decent person to what can only be described as a moral monster.
To be clear, though: cheating is a very real, very painful phenomenon. The consequences of cheating in a relationship can devastate families and break friendships faster and more brutally than virtually any other cause. It is also a major cause and effect of gender violence. The reasons for which people cheat are myriad and studies into the question reveal painful, often misunderstood aspects of relationships that deserve proper respect, attention, and discussion. The type of NTR fiction I am dealing with in this collection does not do any of that.
Within this subset of NTR fiction, it is difficult not to see the undercurrent of misogyny and misandry and their deeply toxic perspective of masculinity and sex. In these authors' stories, a man's worth is dependent upon penile size, hypersexuality, faux-alpha behavior, and their willingness to cross the line regarding basic morality. Women, on the other hand, are lauded not for being sexually liberated, but rather for being sexually dependent on the aforementioned behavioral traits. In these works, the woman isn't beautiful or great because she is liberated, but because she is now dependent on a "better" more "macho" man.
This is not only insulting to women, but also men, by degrading their dignity in favor of an animalistic reinterpretation of human worth. Lack of consistent sex in a relationship is deemed to be grounds for vicious betrayals and humiliation, and in many cases lead to the female lead and the antagonist joining forces to humiliate the male lead for no other reason than the fact that their work and devotion to family sometimes leads them to have irregular sex-seeking behavior. When the female lead is the cuckolded partner, her "inferior" body and lack of sexual promiscuity is deemed to be at fault.
The misogyny and misandry of the sex industry, however, is nothing new. One does not need to read doujin to see NTR behavior, as it exists in other forms of media, including Western pornography. And trying to fight against that is like beating one's head against a brick wall.
So, instead, I have created this collection to provide closure to several stories wherein non-consensual cuckoldry takes place and wherein the characters carry out their affairs not out of genuine, legitimate issues with their relationships, but largely out of cruelty and immorality.
As is usually the case with fanfiction, none of these stories I post were created to replace the original works or insist upon their canonicity. These are simply scenarios I've concocted that, at least in my case, served to provide some measure of karmic satisfaction in seeing bad people receive their well-earned comeuppance. In some of these stories, the cuckolded male lead will retain their own morality and move on; in others, they will lose their minds. Some might have a mix of revenge and closure. Regardless, the cuckolded partners are not meant to be portrayed as universally good people, just people.
Thank you for sticking around thus far, and I look forward to hearing from you all in the comments.
