I think Arand is aiming for character development there. Nikki needs to actually realise she has a problem and address it, which she hasn't truly done so far. That being that she's a female chauvinist. In the nicest possible way of course. Unlike many of the women who view men as possessions and even view them with contempt or simply dismiss them out of hand, she feels nothing but affection and care for Steve and good will towards men in general. However it's a condescending care. Deep down she still thinks only women are fit to make the decisions that matter and that men are better off sticking to what they're good at and listening to what the women have decided after discussing it among themselves. She doesn't truly respect his opinion as her intellectual peer, but instead indulges him out of love and treats it as her beloved brute acting out and takes it in stride thinking she'll have to clean up his mess afterwards. It's pretty much the reveral of old patriarchal male chauvinist culture where a woman's opinion would be laughed off with an indulgent smile, where women were supposed to know their place and talk about feminine things and not intrude in men's conversations or touch upon matter too complicated for their pretty little heads, like politics or business. And if she got angry or upset about it, it would be dismissed as a woman getting hysterical. Nikki is super nice about it, but it's a pretty accurate reversal. She's a victim of the culture she's been raised in from birth and her difficulty in changing her way of thinking is pretty normal. She's still a conservative at heart while Lucia is very progressive. The rest of the girls with him having had their live and common sense violently shattered by the circumstances in which they joined, while Nikki has been living in peace on the farm since day one, with the moat keeping the Creep away. She needs to actually reflect on herself and realise she's in the wrong. That she needs to respect her man's feeling or opinions out of actual respect and not just indulge them because she loves and doesn't want him to hate her without actually listening properly. At least that's how I'm seeing it. I think Arand wanted to have her character development and her slowly overcoming her ingrained cultural chauvinism as a subplot. I could be wrong though.

No. I used to omit the smut because Patreon had very vague clauses and laws about "pornography" and I didn't want to risk being banned. They changed their rules, and they're more clear. In fact, I used to put 'Omitted because Patreon are a bunch of prudes' in those chapters. No idea where you got the whole "Have to read it" thing.

Don't you usually omit the smut from the patreon rewards so we have to read the book to see it? i'm a bit surprised.

i love your books, love them... what Nikki did and Steve's reaction was spot on how I felt... which honestly, I am curious how you resolve it. Hell I dont even think its worth a resolution
