Okay, I can't believe I'm saying this, but I kept going with that game out of morbid curiosity and ended up binging it... it's actually one of the best NTS works out there.

Don't get the wrong, the presentation is still awful. Constant typos and grammatical errors, the font looks all fucked up, the history menu is fucked, there's no music, no sound effects, it has the janky koikatsu models, the bull looks ugly as sin, etc. It's like the author does not give a fuck. However... that's kind of where the problems end. The actual bones of it are, to my astonishment, pretty great. In no particular order, here's a bunch of things it does great. Giant essay incoming:

- The couple is really good. You can really feel the deep love they have for each other. I don't think I've read an NTS work where it's been as convincing and two-sided as this. Normally this is one of the biggest problems with NTS stories. You rarely feel like they love and care for each other, which results in sex with other men not feeling like exciting. NTS is often written as netorare-lite, instead of its own thing which needs to play on other more nuanced dynamics. The vast majority of authors and many fans just don't seem to understand this, and we keep getting shit works. This author seems to get it. In addition to lots of love affirmations, there's some good fleshing out of the couple and their personalities, lots of good conversations about what this fetish means for them and how far they want to take it, and every time a new checkpoint happens they are good at handling it and staying true to their feelings and morals. One of my personal favorite things in NTS is when the couple seriously considers that they should stop this and not just think with their dick, because it might actually ruin their relationship and that's the last thing they want, and there's a few scenes where this naturally happens and it's great. Overall very good couple that other devs should take notes from.
