Fanfic / Synépeies - A Collection Of NTR Consequences

One of the increasingly popular tropes of the doujinshi world has been the concept of netorare, or NTR. The genre involves the cuckolding of an individual in plots that go from the regrettably familiar to the outrageously misogynistic and misandristic. While the author recognizes that fetishes are generally a matter of "to each their own so long as it doesn't non-consensually hurt anyone," this collection of stories is meant to provide views on how those NTR plots might evolve if carried out to their natural conclusion.

—Work Summary

Synépeies - A Collection Of NTR Consequences is a Genre Anthology fanfic series based off several Netorare doujins by AnonWriting2021. As the title suggests, it is meant to take the plots of said doujins and deconstruct them by applying real-world consequences to the characters involved, and thus excises the sexual content entirely.

Each story typically starts where the doujin left off- with the male lead having had his crush/girlfriend "stolen" from him by the "alpha male" antagonist, leaving him in despair. From there, the story follows either the male lead or an acquaintance of his as they expose the misdeeds of the antagonist and cheating woman, delivering justice upon them.

---

This fanfic contains examples of:

• A Deadly Affair: A few chapters have the antagonist who "stole" the girl from the male lead being killed in some way.
  • In The Irishman, Yuuya has his throat slit by the titular Rory, who records it and shows it to Daisuke and Yuna, in retaliation for Yuuya's affair with Yuna, which led to Daisuke's work performance suffering. And Rory, his client, could not have that.
  • In Suffering, Mitsumi, after having his incestuous affair with his stepsister Touwa exposed, is killed in a scuffle with delinquents in what is implied to be about the affair.
  • In Withered Hydrangea, Masaru ends up tortured with continuous Groin Attacks by a gang of delinquents who had a bone to pick with him for his playboy ways. While it didn't kill him, the story implies that he will eventually succumb to his injuries as Natsuha is rejected by Yuuta's mother for her cheating.
  • Retribution centers around Kosuke carrying out his revenge plot against Yui and his own father, the latter of whom he tries to kill in an elaborate "car accident" plot. It fails, but he's rendered a vegetable anyway, so Kosuke considers this a victory and spends the rest of his father's life tormenting him.
• An Aesop: Hitorijime Undone explicitly spells out that you shouldn't just go with whatever comes first, but be patient and wait for the right opportunity. Akina hooked up with Tatsuya because he was the first guy to ask her out, and they ended up getting married, but their relationship was shallow, based off physical pleasure, and devolved into misery. Had she picked her childhood friend Kouta instead — whom she liked, but didn't want to take the initiative with — he would have given her a much more fulfilling life.
  She had chosen to give Tatsuya a chance simply because he asked first. And she had paid the price for that. Because happiness doesn’t always come from the first option – rather, it’s about waiting for the right one.
• Bittersweet Ending: The ending to most chapters. Whatever relationship the male lead had with the girl in his life is gone forever thanks to her infidelity, but by the end he's moved on and has found a new girl he likes, while the cheater and her boyfriend at minimum have their lives ruined and reputations destroyed. In stories where the cheater is portrayed in a somewhat sympathetic light, her inability to reconcile with her ex-boyfriend is played for pathos, but ultimately shown to be the inevitable consequence of her own actions that she now needs to live with.
• Blaming the Cuckold: In Fallen Leaves, Kaede, while trying to seduce her ex-boyfriend Yuuichi into helping her after her life goes to crap, thinks to herself that Yuuichi is at fault for her leaving him for Marada, her rapist who she fell in love with, because Marada "pursued and valued her," unlike Yuuichi.
• Blatant Lies: In Nobless Oblige, Tetsuo tries to convince Ayaka he is perfectly fine after having realized that Maria and her rich elite friends are out to get them, and fails:
  [Ayaka] tried to reach for his hand. “Are you alright, Tetsuo?”
  The fact that he suddenly withdrew his hand like a coiled snake and looked around fearfully immediately told her he was lying when he quickly answered, “Yeah! Yeah, I’m fine.”
• Boarding School of Horrors: In Decency, Himeno's mother implies she'll be sent to one as punishment for her tryst with Kenji and pressuring Takeo into a threesome while mocking him about it.
  On behalf of our family, we sincerely apologize for our daughter’s shameful behavior. We have already removed her from the school and will be sending her to a much stricter, more appropriate institution that will help fix these disgraceful flaws in her character!
• Cruel Mercy: In Hitorijime Undone, Akina has had her life ruined by her Awful Wedded Life to Tatsuya, with her unable to get a good-paying job and nobody wanting anything to do with her for choosing such a loser. She unexpectedly finds relief in Kouta (the childhood friend who crushed on her) and his wife Hiyori, who let her become the nanny for their daughter Mai. When asked why she was given this mercy, Hiyori explains that it was not done out of kindness, but actually as a final 'screw you', to force her to watch as they live the life she can never have:
  Hiyori: As grateful as I am for how great you are with Mai and how pleasant your company has been here in our home, make no mistake – I hate you for what you did to Kouta.
  Akina: W-What I did?
  Hiyori: After you chose to be with that sorry excuse for an anthropomorphic trash can, do you know how long it took for Kouta to even look at another woman? Two years. Two years where, no matter how hard I tried to be there for him, he could not get you out of his heart. You were his world, Akina, and you shattered it almost beyond repair. I’ll never forgive that.
  Akina: B-But then...
  Hiyori: Why hire you? Because I want you to see what you lost. What I won. Had you been patient, or chosen to take the initiative, Mai would’ve been your daughter. This would’ve been your home. And you would’ve been me.
• Daddy DNA Test:
  • In Virtuous Hope, Mitsuko reveals that she did a DNA test on her ex-husband and daughter Kurumi out of guilt due to her affairs with several men, the result reveals that she really is his biological daughter, making him overjoyed, as he now have two daughters, including the newborn one from his new wife.
  • In Retaliation, Kosuke did a DNA test on himself and Aya, with the result saying that Aya is his half-sister due to his wife's affair with his own father.
• Deconstruction Fic: To the Netorare genre as a whole, but most directly the various doujins the series adapts. The exact level depends on the chapter, but usually, the fic picks off from where the doujin left off- with the woman “stolen” from the male lead by the antagonist’s bigger and “superior” dick, while the male lead is either unaware or crying his eyes out. Here, it usually turns out that a man who treats you like a sex doll and who’s only good quality is his bigger dick makes for a poor boyfriend, with the antagonists exposed as pathetic losers underneath all their macho bravado. When the affair is exposed, it results in their peers ostracizing them for it. And instead of wallowing in pity for the rest of his life as suggested in the original doujins, the male lead eventually moves on and finds another girlfriend who stays loyal to him. All the woman accomplished by cheating on him was ruining her chance at a happy life for some momentary pleasure.
• Double-Meaning Title: The Childhood Friend Waited Too Long does this to its source doujin of the same name. In said doujin, Miki was "stolen" from her childhood friend, Takashi, because he never confessed his feelings to her until it was too late. Here, it is revealed that Miki had feelings for him too, but resorted to Hint Dropping that he never picked up on. So by the time she confronts him, it turns out that she has become the one who waited too long, as Takashi is already dating another girl.
• Fix Fic: Does this towards several Netorare doujins. Usually, either the hapless protagonist who gets his girlfriend "stolen" from him Grew a Spine, or an Original Character will intervene on his behalf, and in some way dole out Adaptational Karma to the antagonist and the cheating woman, who at minimum will be completely humiliated by the end. Meanwhile, the protagonist learns to move on and typically gets a new, loving girlfriend who is a far better match than the cheater.
• Formula-Breaking Episode: Affirmation is the only chapter that does away with the usual format of the cheating woman and antagonist receiving their comeuppance, instead focusing more on the male lead's self-improvement into a better person.
• Genre Anthology: A fanfic anthology that serves as a Fix Fic to several Netorare doujins by delivering Adaptational Karma to the antagonist and cheating girl while giving the male lead a happy ending.
• Get Out!:
  • In Fallen Leaves, Yuuichi kicks Kaede out of his house for asking for his help and also playing victim for the problem she had caused herself by dumping him for Marada.
  • Suffering has Mitsumi being kicked out of the house by his parents for coercing his stepsister into a sexual relation with him.
• Gratuitous Greek: Synépeies itself is the genitive case of the greek word for consequences romanized.
• Hint Dropping: Deconstructed in The Childhood Friend Waited Too Long. Miki tried to do this in the past to get Takashi to go out with her. He never responded, and eventually got together with another girl, explicitly because Saki instead directly told him her feelings.
  Miki had practically spelled it out for him. The Valentine’s chocolate in a heart-shaped container, the walks back home, the physical closeness she wasn’t shy to show…she’d given him every signal under the sun that she was interested and nothing! So how had this bitch gotten through to him?!
  [...]
  There was no grand secret revealed within [the chat]. No magical trick the bitch had done to get Takashi to look at her as a woman. There hadn’t been any grand gestures or overcomplicated plots.
  She’d simply told him.
• Hourglass Plot: The stories typically start where the original doujins ended- with the main character in despair after his crush/girlfriend/wife was stolen from him by another man, with the woman viewing him with contempt and wanting nothing to do with him anymore. Each chapter typically ends with the woman crawling back to the main character and in despair after he was “stolen” by another woman, with the man viewing her with contempt and wanting nothing to do with her anymore.
• I Have No Son!: In Suffering, Touwa's stepfather kicks Mitsumi out due to being disgusted Mitsumi coercing and making Touwa commit incest with him.
• Insult to Rocks: In Retaliation, Kosuke tells Yui that she's a whore for having cheated on him, then takes it back:
  “She could’ve been our daughter,” [Kosuke] told [Yui] flatly. “Proof of our mutual love.”
  He glanced over at his father’s room. “But then you had to spread your legs to that thing like a common whore.”
  He paused for a moment before smirking at her. “Actually, I take it back – comparing you to a whore disrespects them. Because at least they just do it to get paid.”
• "It" Is Dehumanizing: In Decency, Yosuke Nakatani refers to his daughter Himeno as 'this one' to convey his disgust towards her tryst with Kenji and bullying Takeo into a threesome.
• Karmic Shunning: The cheating women almost always end up becoming pariahs for cheating on the protagonist, with them being disowned by their friends, parents, and children. In addition, unlike the original stories where the protagonists remains devoted to the women even after their cheating, here, they manage to develop the courage to cut the cheaters out of their lives, leaving the cheating women to regret having thrown away a good relationship for simple pleasure.
• No Guy Wants to Be Chased: Deconstructed twice. The original The Childhood Friend Who Waited Too Long and Hitorijime: First Come, First Served have their respective male leads, Takashi and Kouta, lose their childhood friend crushes to other men, and the original doujins essentially blame Takashi and Kouta for losing them because they never had the guts to ask them out. But the latter doujin also heavily hints that Akina liked Kouta back but kept waiting for him to make the first move because that's what a woman is supposed to do. In the respective chapters of both stories, it is explicitly made clear that Miki and Akina actually liked their crushes back and could have taken the initiative, but didn't because men are “supposed” to take the initiative, with Miki resorting to Hint Dropping and Akina saying yes to the first man who asks her out instead of the one she actually likes. So the two women losing the men they liked in turn — to women who did ask them out instead of waiting — is thus their fault as much as it is the fault of the men.
• "Not So Different" Remark: In Withered Hydrangea, the narration does this to Natsuha, pointing out that she became the very philanderer she hated her father for being.
  This couldn’t be happening. Not to her. She was the cheater-hater. She wasn’t a bad person! She’d only…she’d only…
  She’d only become exactly what had driven her father away in the first place.
• Plot-Inciting Infidelity: Each fanfic centers on the discovery of the male lead's girlfriend cheating on him with the antagonist, and the efforts of either him or an acquaintance to deliver retribution.
• Poor Communication Kills: In Suffering, Touwa admits that she should have communicated better with Asuna, and had she not been worried about how her mother would react to Touwa having sex with Asuna, Mitsumi wouldn't have blackmailed her about exposing her sex life and coerced her into an incestuous relationship with her stepbrother.
• Queer Establishing Moment: In the end of Retaliation, Aya casually says, when asked by Kosuke if she found anyone she likes at school, that she finds some of the girls cute but none that tipped her “gaydar”.
• "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Typically, the protagonist — either the MC of the original doujin or an Original Character — will give this to the cheating woman and sometimes the antagonist, telling them how pathetic they are, how the cheating woman never truly loved her boyfriend, and how they can never take back what they have done.
• Strictly Formula: Almost each chapter has a similar progression, though it is played with depending on the chapter. The story begins after the woman has been stolen away from the male lead. Since then, either the male lead Grew a Spine or an Original Character intervenes on his behalf, confronts the woman and the antagonist who stole her away, and delivers a Humiliation Conga upon them, typically by publicly exposing their tryst but sometimes more violently. They usually also give a "The Reason You Suck" Speech at some point. The antagonist is taken out of the picture and the life of the cheating woman is ruined; she will try to patch things up with the male lead, only for her efforts to be in vain. The male lead will instead find another girlfriend who is more loyal.
• Unrequited Love Switcheroo: Whereas the original doujins end with the main character losing his crush/girlfriend/wife to the antagonist, the fics usually end with the main character getting over it and finding a Second Love- at which point the first woman, who inevitably has had her new relationship fall apart, comes crawling back, only to discover the man now wants nothing to do with her.
• Worst Wedding Ever: In Hitorijime Undone, this is how Akina and Tatsuya's wedding ended up after she abandoned Kouta for Tatsuya. The couple sent 70 invitations to their wedding, however only 12 of them showed up, all from Tatsuya's side. None of Akina's friends from school showed up and her own parents also refused to pay and attend the wedding.
