> ベルの成長速度にアイズへの恋慕が **これまでかと影響した** 「ステイタス」を見せつけられ、ちょっとも面白くなかったゆう昨夜。

Is the と here acting as a quotative particle? So it's 「これまでか」と影響した?

Thanks!

grammar
What does か + と do in this sentence?
Yes, that と is the quotative particle, because that's a short for これまでかと言うほど.

これまでかと ("to this extent", "this much") as a whole modifies 影響した, and it
describes how strongly the 恋慕 influenced the 成長速度.

A more common fixed expression similar to this is
[これでもかと(言うほど)](http://jisho.org/search/%E3%81%93%E3%82%8C%E3%81%A7%E3%82%82%E3%81%8B),
which works just like this and effectively means _strongly/badly/cruelly_.
