Can we all agree that there are similar amounts of cucks and cuckqueans no matter the form of Asian literature? It just seems like Asians have a fetish for betrayal.
I think if there had been no confession from LI, this would be NTR. Even though they weren't together there would have been an expectation of them getting together. It would have been unrealistic and beta, but I think it would still have counted. Instead, LI confessed and MC rejected her. Somebody else made his move, and the two of them moved on with their lives. MC might be upset, but it's his fault for turning her away. Not NTR. Unless the rival is the one who prevented them from being able to get together. Then it's totally NTR.
As an Asian (or am I?), I can confirm this. Nope! Just plain old ambiguity. I mean, ahem, H stuff? Whatever do you mean? I am a pure maiden that knows nothing of that.
What I mean is, the rival courts her properly instead of forcing himself on her, right? If so, the rival is not the bad guy and he deserved it.
cuz it one kind of tragedy? perhaps it popular on east side I guess look ponrhwa on rage about cheating~
Rather than "it's not official yet", it's more like "it's officially over". The guy rejected the girl. He has no right to tell her she can't move on just because he might change his mind. There's nothing remotely close to NTR here.
Tragedy to me isn't very interesting, when I did read it it was usually things like man wins lottery after getting divorced due to finding out wife's infidelity. Things like that. I don't know what a ponrhwa is though...
Definitely not ntr. After confession, its just one sided affection of mc. In that person later on novel, mc have promise with his LI to get together after LI defeat the demon king with his party. Turns out that LI going out with the hero. Its considered Ntr (i think) Or just plain day cheating
