Inside An Ad**t Game As A Former Hero Chapter 55 Discussion

A lot of people are saying that despite the title, there's no NTR. That's a misleading statement. While the MC doesn't personally have any heroines NTR'd from him, the character whose body he was made to take over certainly did and it's brought up as a theme (mostly in the form of MC's memories of the game) periodically throughout the novel so far. Now, as someone who personally absolutely despises the genre of NTR with every fiber of my being, such themes are kept infrequent an impersonal enough that they aren't a deal breaker for me (every dozen or so chapters he'll reminisce about trying and failing to get the pure love ending or something), but it's still enough to make me slightly uncomfortable. What I really didn't need was Spoiler

them showing the formerly NTR'd heroine's post NTR-ing situation along with her POV as she's cornered by the consequences of her betrayal. That kind of stuff is welcome when there's genuine animosity to a character that we've seen being shitty, but when it's the NTR and betrayal that we've not really witnessed of a character we've barely seen, all it really does is serve as reminder that NTR happened and turn a character I don't know much about or care about at all into a punching bag.

Just finished reading through chapter 55. My previous impression of the novel up to chapter 32 hasn't changed in the last 20-ish chapters, but one recent event set my NTR-loathing off and for fellow NTR haters I felt compelled to inform them: Spoiler

In chapter 49, the MC gets locked with an angel inside a room that cannot be escaped unless you have s*x by that world's goddess (turns out the goddess is a psychotic pe*vert). This wouldn't be a problem except then in chapter 51, it's revealed that the goddess went as far as labeling the room so those outside know exactly what the room is for, then making it so that the only sound that can pass through those doors is the angel's cries and moans of ecstacy, all while the childhood friend of the MC's body's former inhabitant who has been in love with him since childhood is stuck outside, being forced to listen to the man she loves absolutely going to town on another chick while she can't do anything about it. Now, to be clear, this is one of the heroines that betrayed the previous owner of MC's body so it comes with an air of 'serves you right' and it's super hypocritical how bent out of shape she gets when she's experiencing a mere fraction of what she put the guy through, but it's still a couple chapters of a character getting NTR'd and having an emotional breakdown. Personally it made me uncomfortable even if I have no investment in her character, but there's enough going for this series outside of that that unless something like that happens to the MC or the female hero, I can ignore that discomfort
