Hahaha, I also thought having both "netorare" and "cheating" tags were superfluous, but thinking about it, both are accurate in this case, they just don't apply to the same relationship. That was surprisingly fun, despite what I expected from the tags.
It was definitely short, but I kind of think the brevity makes it more palatable to most audiences. You could certainly get a lot more meat out of the concept by elaborating on the characters, their relationships, and the feelings involved, but that would make it a much heavier story, and a bit too sour for a lot of people to easily enjoy. Stripping it right down to the essential three hit combo of setup-twist-payoff means that you don't have enough time to get emotionally invested, so it's not a downer when things go awry. As it is, it's more like an amusing and slightly spicy joke.
