When going through this story it happens that I get immersed into the text deeply. Not really "seeing" the images. This could well be a standard novel imo.
Then I happen to "see" an image and it hits me that this is done so well that I skip back just to get the visuals in.
Sex scenes could, maybe, possibly, be a little "more", but in my eyes this is a adult game, not a porn game.
Sex is part of it, not a small one, but it is not the biggest thing in this story and the story is captivating to say the least.
So I am fine with the sex scenes.
Also we cannot complain about too less sex for MC i think
Regarding Elaine. MC does come around to let her in slowly. Her behavior after the "Call your Dad" scene has changed a lot. She stepped back and for me, and I think also MC, the biggest show of her changes was that she apologized to Fiona.
In addition she stepped back as Alpha, well knowing that Becca would be sharing her Alpha status with Fiona.
When she will be helping with the legal works for the Sisters this will also be a big plus for MC and the family. Even Fiona I would guess.
So if she does not fuck up with some stupid action, and I personally do not see that coming, MC will soon Granny her, not only Elaine her. Though he maybe call her Elaine from time to time to poke her.
So looking forward to 0.14....
