TS Tensei Bishoujo Netora Reiko wa Netoraretai - Ch. 4 - The Start of Summer

[UdenEmpati]

Getting the hunch this won't ever ACTUALLY go full NTR, but just be a collection of jabs at the different character archtypes found in NTR hentai.

The flip side is that there's an actual narrative to this with a professed end goal from the protagonist.
So it does require some sort of conclusion to the journey. If it's not "full NTR", then it needs to be something like a subversion of the genre itself that plays out toward an end point, and not just a series of loosely-connected vignettes that make a run of all the tropes and archetypes & iterations.

So in that sense--I think we will see Reiko's plan actually culminate once she's collected all her targets and participants--probably around their 3rd year of school, if I had to guess (haven't looked at the source material to see where it's at/if it's concluded).
But, whatever she thinks is going to happen, won't. Whether it'll be a false alarm and no actual NTR will happen, or it'll be some "reverse Uno" where Reiko ends up getting cucked, or some other option, is up for debate.

I personally like the reverse cuck route. Reiko's entire character revolves around being the perpetrator, both before and now, and the amount of effort and diligence she's putting into setting all of this up just screams for an unforeseen factor to come in and knock her tower to the ground right at the moment of triumph.
But, this is playing out with a lot of comedic elements, and it's all but setting up the potential for everything to get subverted right when the protagonist least expects it. She's the epitome of genre-savvy, and so if this is going to be an actual critique of NTR stories, Reiko will be the one to actually 'suffer' the story's climax.

Otherwise, it'll be shooting straight, and she'll succeed in all her plans, and I don't know if that sort of payoff to something this long-form would feel satisfying, as it becomes entirely predictable at that point (that's admittedly pretty influenced by my subjective take based on the genre being depicted and its controversial nature, though).
Maybe if she has to suceed through interference by someone who also has meta-knowledge of what she's doing, giving her a proper "rival" that exists outside the setting in the same manner she does? I could see it working that way, and then Reiko becomes a proper heroine (albeit a despicable one) for whom the reader would root to "succeed".

But I think it'll go the critique & subvert route, setting Reiko up for her ultimate defeat.

when they blurred the swimsuit on their crotch i was genuinely happy that the artist did that and wasnt a pedo only to see a primary school kid being referred to as a shouta my disappointment in humanity is restored

Why are you being so weird about it, normal people don't feel the need to post this shit

 

[Hadski]

At some point we will have the netoranger archetype ready right?

I expect that her ultimate "downfall" will be that she loves the MC far more than she thinks.

In the last few years a lot of people who were the most hardcore twitter/X anti-pedo activists got busted for possession of actual cp. Just saying.

 

[UdenEmpati]

This is dragging, feel like NTR is never going to be happen at this point. Would hate to see some lame cop out

This is literally the 4th chapter.

There's a ton more NTR tropes that have to be established and prepared, per the protagonist's self-stated goal.
It's also a long-form manga, and (likely) deconstructing the NTR genre in its entirety.



If you're bored and expecting actual NTR to happen, I suggest finding some doujin to read over on the Numbers Site. Might be more your speed.

I think the ultimate subversion at this point will be to actually go through with the NTR and have the story continue after she gets her climax and she's forced to just...watch life go on kind of empty afterwards.

just quick note, but this ln goes off the wall later

like damn, it was going so well then boom

Spoiler: Spoiler for when they get into highschool

Author thinks it would be a cool idea to have super natural stuff start to show up, first it started low, MC showed that she can defeat bullies and bad people/NTR target that she deems won't work out.

Then bam, a teacher showed up with an artificial intelligence phone loaded with hypnosis app like in those hentai, which, for some reason doesn't work on the MC.

Bad enough, apparently behind the app is a "professor", and the second phone showed up with another artificial intelligence, I think at this point jp reader riot or something cause that plot point got drop, MC crush the second phone with her barehand, killing the 2nd AI and the professor never got brought up again

BUT

The MC starts to show that she has super power. Yes, I'm not fucking kidding, she legit has super strength, she can crushed steel and she has super vision AND super hearing too.

There is no end game in sight and the goalpost move from high school to university now

The bad end where she accidentally triggers an orgy instead of ntr. Or a gang bang where everyone agrees to take turns with no conflict, destroying her plans completely.

Huh...
That sound a bit too jump the sharky for my liking. Seems more like the author got bored of their own premise and tried to switch it up.

Dude, our governments are literally run by actual pedophiles who eat babies and you are worried about fictional drawings? Either you are one of those politicians who got worse interests and projecting on others or THAT ignorant and privileged to not understand what is happening in the real world

 

[drinkweedsmokeanime]

MORE!! MORE!!!!
(thanks tl)

dawg jader said "my disappointment in humanity is restored", politicians aren't people duh

 

[FireDevil123]

Before the series ends and before Netora-chan can cuck him she gets hit by a truck, and is transported back in her original body. Thus she experiences true cuckery by having her plan taken away from her.

Thank you for the translation

 

[Late_Komei]

The censorship took me out, lol.

 

[tomatomandarine]

In sheer awe of her(his?) depth of NTR knowledge. A true sommelier of heartbreak, my respects.

 

[Serverclosed]

Censoring a swimsuit really?

 

[shadowhunter100]

These are wholesome normal-ish classmates she is trying to corrupt. And now the upcoming arc seems to suggest a tan shota. So what's next? We're gonna see her turning truants/delinquents into model students?

Spoiler

Please note most NTR trope is the model student breaking down after a few outings. I have no clue how the author is gonna, uh, reverse convert/mind break the trope.

Edit: Nevermind the fact we haven't gotten to the teaacher(s), middle-aged salaryman, etc. All sorts of weird japanese cultural phenomenons in the trope.
