Well, as I said, the vast majority of harem/vanilla players don't want NTR or NTS; they dislike the idea of another man being with the protagonist's womens. Even if the content is optional, you should at least warn people that your game includes NTR, since it currently only has the "romance" tag—and for those looking for one of these genres, romance and NTR are almost always polar opposites.

I'm just saying that if the game's only NTR element is a "Game Over" screen, and you're aiming for a harem/vanilla audience, you'll likely drive most of them away. As I mentioned, the fact that it's "optional" doesn't matter to them; given the sheer number of games out there today, it's easier to just move on to another game than to waste time on one containing things you dislike. At the same time, you won't attract much of an NTR audience either due to the lack of content—since, as you said, it's limited to just a "Game Over" during fights and doesn't amount to much substance.
I'm just saying you should add that the game contains NTR so you don't mislead future players, since it's a genre hated by many.

It’s simple: I’ll add the NTR tag once that content is actually in the game. The game itself isn't centered on NTR—unlike titles like *House of Shinobi* or *Path of Desire* that feature dedicated NTR routes. Instead, I’ve decided to make it a "bad ending" scenario. This mechanic is reusable in the long run, which should appeal to NTR fans. For those who aren't fans, you can just play normally; I’ll include an in-game message explaining that losing a fight triggers an NTR "game over." This gives players an incentive to win their battles and earn the corresponding story rewards. I think the balance is right: basically, if you don't want to see your favorite heroine get ruined right in front of you, just don't lose on purpose. You can keep playing as usual, but knowing there’s a consequence to defeat adds depth to the experience!

I don't know; a lot of harem or "vanilla" games tried that mechanic, and the target audience didn't like it at all. Like I said, most players don't care if it's optional; they just dislike the idea of a scene where the women are with men other than the protagonist. Instead of a loss resulting in NTR, it should just be a "Game Over" where the protagonist dies,idk. As I said, if the game isn't meant to be NTR, it's better not to include it; It will only drive away the vanilla/harem community. Once the NTR tag is added, many of those players will avoid the game—either because they see the tag and walk away, or because they have that tag on their ignore list. Meanwhile, NTR players won't be satisfied either due to the lack of content, since the NTR element would only appear during a "Game Over." And being forced to win a battle or else face NTR—that doesn't add depth to the experience; it just creates frustration for those looking for a vanilla or harem-style game.

It doesn’t matter if some people nitpick a specific detail of the game; as long as the gameplay and the scenes are high-quality, that’s what counts. As I said, those who don’t want NTR can simply win their battles if they dislike that content, while those who enjoy the genre will know how to access it—there’s something for everyone. In any case, I’ll do things my way; if some decide to walk away because they don’t like the variety of content, that’s their business. End of discussion.
