For someone who doesn't like pregnancy you wrote yourself into the pregnancy route too easily, if you don't like a fetish you shouldn't ever mention it in-game (specially how it was introduced).

Here's what you could do(if you don't want to re-write), just before talking with whoever will tell you if anthros and humans can interbreed, MC thinks if he even wants kids and you give three choices:

1>Whatever happens happens/It wouldn't be the worst thing.

(Early character pregnancy ending)(you can leave it grayed out, and write it at the end of development)

2>Maybe someday, but even if, later

(Continues the story normally, choice for pregnancy later)

3>No never

(Disables it entirely)

And the one MC talks to reaffirms it (1>Others that we know of before never had a problem 2>It's unlikely 3>It's biologically impossible).

About no pregnancy for the main characters, I'd rather have no pregnancy at all than having a character tacked on that no one will even care about, just for the fetish part. Remember you're selling a story, but most importantly(due the nature of the work) the feelings that come with the story.

Pregnancy is more than creampies and round bellies, it's the feeling that you're starting a family with someone you care about, if that won't be a main character then I don't know who could qualify.

Hey, thanks so much for your input.

I actually gave this a lot of thought (I didn't realize so many people were into pregnancy stuff until this first launch), and this is what I have planned for the in-universe explanation (spoilers):

----

Human-anthro reproduction is blocked by fundamental genetic incompatibility. During evolution, anthro species developed different chromosomal structures, hormone receptors, and reproductive systems.

However, there exists an extremely rare alchemical catalyst that can temporarily bridge this genetic gap. A rare flower called an Ethereal Lily can be turned into a potion by any apothecary that, theoretically, can lead to cross-breeding between humans and anthros.

Although the game isn't going to be ending anytime soon, when eventually there comes the time where I am wrapping up the game, I will likely have a few different endings. One of which may include hunting this flower down and drinking it and then you can get (likely Lily) pregnant and start a family.

That seems like a fair compromise, I like it because you can introduce is as epically, or mundanely as you want, from adventuring for weeks with Amber for it, to Lily's family cultivating it for generations because "It repels insects really well".

Sorry if I seemed pushy, I liked the idea where the established town virgin gets pregnant on her first time, and the reactions and gossip(well meaning) of the villagers to that ("That Lily?" "The human?" "Is that even possible?" "Hasn't been a week")

So far I've been enjoying it, it's hard to get a furry VN that has straight love interests, and ultimately you're the one who has to put in the work, so it's better that you have fun with it, I'd rather like to have this one go the distance.

No, you didn't seem pushy at all! Everyone has their kinks and preferences, and I am trying my hardest to incorporate as many as I can in fun ways that won't compromise anyone else's experience :) Thank you for the ideas as well, I think an adventure with Amber to retrieve it makes a lot of sense with her character if in the future the MC decides to hunt it down.

Thank you as well for all the compliments, I am working super hard on the next update and messages like these make me feel motivated that much more :)
