This has always been a vanilla story, the NTR tag is simply bait. The whole spice is in the beautiful art and how slow but steadily the girls fall for him, the random guy is just comic relief.

Base +8, BLKCandy +6, seeinghighdog -8, henta1lover0 +7, Mythicmyth +6, UnlimitedBlades +6, RaizelX -7, Lapited +10

Uh, whatever happened to stopping the traitor hero and getting back the power he stoke from the goddess and going back to earth?

Base +6, mys_fapper +6

So now the good guy is the "bad" guy? This author never did NTR until here and look how it turned out it has been vanilla since the start. More proof about the NTR bucks magic oh well.

Base +6, henta1lover0 +7, AhKai +6, mys_fapper +6, rclone +10, EgocentricEgg +5, molenewe +6, Tomol +6

The NTR in this is really forced. So forced that I don't see why it couldn't just be usual corruption. The cuck hero isn't even really present enough and didn't even have any purpose in this chapter specifically.

Base +6, henta1lover0 +7, TheDudes +8, EgocentricEgg +5

We should have netori tag. This one is Netori. The bad guy look more main character than this boy.

Base +6, henta1lover0 +7, froggie1234 +6, Mythicmyth +6

mfw they tried to degrade the guy one last time and it just ended up awkward

Base +22, Frank9969 +8, henta1lover0 +7

lol what a cop-out ending.

I don't think the author understood what they were even trying to go for. Maybe they don't actually understand the netorare genre?

This isn't netorare as there was no prior relationship between the male mage and the female MC. Her female servant also did not really have romantic feelings for her per se, it's just loyalty and filial love.

This isn't even any kind of classifiable cheating, actually. Zero relationship between the female MC and the male mage. Neither woman feels any guilt for ditching the dude in their party either - like I said zero relationship other than being in an adventuring party together. There is a time-skip of about six months where the author makes it apparent that the male mage was released from his crystal prison, but neither woman made any effort to help him leave or negotiate his release. He was tied up in a cage in one panel, and neither woman comments on it or asks for him to be released, the most we get is "don't do this to me in front of him" simply because they don't want to be watched by some other dude they have no respect for - they don't care what happens to him at all. Not netorare. Then another lazy time-skip and he somehow has run away from the elf village (no explanation as to how he was released from his bonds or why).

So it's not netorare and it's not netori either because the male mage only kind of saw the women in sort of sexual way, the way men normally look at attractive women all the time, there was no romantic context, he simply idealized the female MC in his head and put her on a pedestal, which isn't really netorare when she gets "stolen" from him, there has to be some level of feelings from her side as well for it to be netorare or netori. They actually make it VERY clear she cares about her female servant more than the mage, because she goes along with the villains suggestion of her being released first even though she ostensibly could have chosen either - proving that she had zero feelings for the mage (later emphasized when she says that explicitly in the last couple of pages).

Then the author completely kills the tone with something like a joke at the end. Neither funny nor erotic. Not sure what they were trying to achieve. The female MC gets one line where she gets to seem decent and maybe have the tiniest amount of guilt, by saying that they should quit with the voyeurism and let the mage have his privacy, but it has nothing to do with having old or broken feelings for him.

Badly written, poor execution, not netorare at all despite the initial story setting us up with the expectation, but the art was ok. 4/10.

It would have been a MUCH better story without the male mage, and if it explicitly was about the female MC betraying her servant and then making up with her. It kind of feels like that was likely what the author intended originally, but felt pressured to include a man because of "genre expectations" or something.

The only way I can see this being salvaged is if this was some kind of bait ending and there is going to be a continuation where the "goddesses plan" and her reason for deliberately throwing weak heros at the villain are revealed. But I feel like the author locked themselves into a bad story and a bad ending due to not knowing how to handle male MC's in netorare stories.

No point in venting like that guy, but I do agree this was insanely disappointing.
The art was really hot, I do wish to see more; but the narrative truly went nowhere past Vol 2, arguably Vol 1.
I guess once you write a series and you get tired of it or can't think of where to take it you just have to end it. But yeah, I do feel the female character designs were wasted.
Also if they wanted to go for a joke at the end they should have leaned even harder into the absurd.

Now to add it to a scale and weigh the most bummer "recent" ending between this and Maid Kyouiku.

Base +6, Mythicmyth -6, Noyas4320 -6, swejsag -6

Cuckoldry story that come out of nowhere and so obviously hamfisted and ruining the story that has (apparently?) always been vanilla, and the pregnant sex doesn't even look that great, especially with the small belly

That's three different lost potentials and disappointing conclusions all in one doujin, amazing, 10/10

Base +6, mys_fapper +6, Weisschen -6

Meh.

That's what you get for milking this shit too long.

Clearly artist don't know what to do with Kouki and just forced shaming him out of nowhere and it feel awkward as fuck. Should not have him in the series at the first place and just go with mind break alone.

Now that old hero feel like he bullied a little kid and with his status is so laughing.

Base +7, RINGARD +6, mys_fapper +6, Noyas4320 -6

This is like the opposite of the thing where the writer will take a series that's been vanilla and then have it go NTR. We get a vanilla plot twist. I didn't even think that was a thing lol

Base +6

Yes this is ntr Yes it's bad, it doesn't matter if they didn't have a previous relationship the story starts out from his perspective and how many ntr stories take place where the mc is expressing a secret or hidden love and before he can act it's taken away. Everytime i'm forced to read bullshit isekai NTR im reminded of the one good ntr i ever read where the mc was cucked and he lost his mind and became the demon lord and returned to torture and kill his former party member. AMAZING story, we need more of that less of this
