The world may never know what Melissa meant when she said "realistic". I think for her, it's a super relative term.

I think you are stretching this a little too far. When someone says a common use word in a context it is normally used, it means what the word means. If we are just going to say everything is relative to the individual, then words have no meaning at all. It's fair to say that a mistake was made by offering it as a "realistic" story.

It was likely meant in this sense - not magic, not "speculative science" but fine in a "conventional manner"
Is it realistic "conventional manner?" No, but Andrew wasn't stuck in the presto chango chamber of Dr Evil either.
Broad categories like this aren't always that useful.

Not sure I agree. "Realism" is a sliding scale, and can be in reference to different aspects.
Take for instance pornography: all live action films by real actors in a modern setting are in a realistic setting (and constrained by the rules of real life. So for example, you're not gonna a guy showering a girl with a literal gallon of cum). But while the setting is realistic, that doesn't mean the story or the activities inside the pornography are "realistic".
Or take the other common criticism of porn, that porn star body types aren't "realistic". Obviously they're real: this is a real person that really has tits that big. But in this case, the realism criticism is being levied because such a body type isn't common and doesn't "feel" realistic.
Or take for instance the genre of science fiction. Is realistic science fiction impossible by definition, because there's "unreal" elements? Of course not. Each story has to pick where on that scale they apply realism. Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones is often praised for the complicated (and often described as realistic) characters. But of course the setting itself and the history there is fantastical. Is Breaking Bad not "realistic" because the show gets some chemistry wrong?
Bringing this back to feminization fiction, there's going to be breaks from reality because ultimately, real world transitioning isn't very sexy. So like with scifi, when someone describes that their feminization story is a realistic setting, that can be in reference to any number of aspects. It might be that they aren't employing any magic or too advanced technology, and it's just that they've taken some liberties with recovery time/how good a person could look after hormones/sugery.
It could be that they're referring to a realistic *reason* someone might be getting feminized, but the actual feminization isn't necessarily realistic. They could be referring to the setting, where it's realistic as in it takes place in our modern world, not some fantasy/scifi setting. There's any number of valid reasons why an author might think of their work as being realistic, despite containing non-real elements. And that doesn't require bending the definition. It just depends on the work and what they were hoping to achieve. Whether the author was *successful* at being "realistic" in the aspects they were wanting to be "realistic" in is another topic entirely.
One thing authors do get wrong though is not understanding that there's a useful difference in doing something "realistically", vs handling it "authentically". Being overly slavish towards realism can come at the expense at plot, characterization, and satisfying conclusions. Easiest example I can think of is in video games. Some devs and players love trying to use "realism" as if it were the best thing ever. Yet, more often than not, they just want to have the game feel authentic, not actually be real. Travel distance is the easiest example. People like big maps because you get the sense of exploring a vast distance, but no one actually wants those distances to be real world big. It would make for such a slog to get anywhere.

I get what you are saying, but in reference to the original critique of realism, I agree, the promotion of realism was misused. If taken in context with all the examples you gave, then it should be fair to say the story would be more realistic as compared to others created, yet, Aphrodite's mirror isn't at all or even pushes fantasy outside realism even further.

I was thinking about this recently - my example would be Ellen Hayes' Tuck series. It was superb early on, and the author strove for authenticity in a lot of aspects. Later on Ellen wanted there to be an authentic reason for why Tuck was essentially so amazingly good at passing as a girl. She struggled with it (I used to talk with her) and finally came up with an "authentic" medical condition. Great, but it really took a lot of the tension and fun out of the story, and the whole tone changed, I think for the worse.
Ohooo ,it's happening again ! I missed it so much ! The conversation on A.M ... The old vibes is coming I feel alife now

I don't think that will happen, maybe Marina accept 'Elena , as women and as aunt , Elena also accept her new life as wife , and they will live happily in each life

Hard to say at this point - it seems that Andrew had somehow completely blanked on the codeword and a lot of what happened to himself, and his contact with Marina has been cut off to the point where he isn't even sure if he was ever Andrew. With this extended dream thing going on, you assume he will now be aware of it all, and will find himself in the middle of a gigantic problem, Nikos/Marina. How he reacts is ????
To say nothing of where Marina is at emotionally in all this, or what she is now thinking after hearing that Elena is off on fantasy Island with Nikos for the night.

The last two updates do make it seem like Marina is attracted to Elena. Could be that they end up together at the end, could just be an excuse for a girl-on-girl sex scene at some point during this memory gap, or it could be nothing. I definitely don't see them reversing Elena's age though. That would be a pretty major betrayal of all the AP fans, and this was clearly stated as an AP story going in.
Dream Aphrodite mentioned that they were forced into an unhappy marriage, which seems somewhat confirmed by the fact that Marina was so quick to give up on Andrew when she fled to Crete for a few days. That's got to be a setup for something. I think she probably slept with James and will likely end up with him, and Elena with Nikos. But it could also mean that maybe she's more attracted to women and will end up in a happier marriage with Elena than she ever was with Andrew.

The very first 5 pages makes it seem like they are really happy in love, all giddy about being in Greece and off for an afternoon quickie.
But, as you say, there's been a lot of hinting at a dark side in all this. The mysterious dark event that happened months back, marina whisking off to Crete and looking ready to party, aphrodite claiming the marriage wasn't ideal - we get that short piece from a year ago with Andrew about to propose to somebody, is it Marina?
There is something here that will play into who ends up with who

You know, I'd get a kick out of seeing the mastermind "getting what they wished for but not what they wanted". Most of these stories end up with the wife/girlfriend ending up with a hot new "real man", while the feminized guy ends up as a live in maid/sex toy. If Nikos is the mastermind, (or whoever it being the case), it'd give me a giggle if the dude ends up just funding and being the "beard" for Elena and Marina's "incestuous" relationship. A bit of karmic deserts, lol. Personally, I don't see any real evidence of that right now. Marina's reaction could suggest being drawn towards big titted milf bodies, but it could also just be her in disbelief, and MelissaN setting up an excuse to show us Elena's tits again. Like in other feminization stories where after a guy has been significantly transformed, the female character really wants to see his shrunken cock. Not because she's directly attracted to that, but because it's one of those "seeing is believing".

It also seems like Marina touching the milf titties could just be the kick-start of Elena realising she loves having big ol' boobs due to the physical pleasure they bring. Seemed like a big reaction from just a touch.

That’s what I’m thinking too. Elena is about to moan like a little slut from Marina stroking her nips. And Marina will have another “I can’t recognize my husband anymore” moment like she did in ch13. (When she first returned from Crete)
I can’t imagine Elena with anybody but Nikos at this point. I’m hoping she tells Marina she’s madly in love with him, and we get to see a big fat Greek wedding.
Or if they’re going to end up together, maybe Marina can get some age progression procedures done too?
