There are many setting differences in Mpreg novels. For example, how a man gets pregnant, whether he has a vagina and a uterus, whether he is able to get pregnant from a congenital deformity or an acquired artificial transformation, or even a kind of malicious enslavement that turns him into a surplus tool. From the details of the setting, we can feel the author’s attitude towards Mpreg. That’s why I’m going to try to build my own setting about Mpreg as an author, which will show my attitude and opinion about Mpreg, and what I want to convey to my audience.
