At first i didn't feel the Sharon fatigue myself but just like some people here it's starting to kick in. I didn't mind Sharon at first because i didn't think she'd be the only choice or that the plot would revolve around her so much but now it's moving too close to the "Sharon is the only option and the one the MC should pay attention to" territory and that's what i kind of don't want to happen. I wouldn't call the MC a simp but he can show that kind of behavior here and there. Gratitude is one thing but the MC is starting to go far from it simply being that anymore.
I've actually gained more interest in Laurie and Carmen over these past few updates to be honest(Carmen especially). In comparison it does feel like "Sharon this, Sharon that". If we're going down this path of Sharon only matters to the MC, romantically, then I'd say this should've just been stated from the very start and expressed as such by the MC or the Devs that he has zero interest in other women. Once again, so there's no confusion, i still like Sharon. I just didn't think she'd be the only option and it would be basically forced(from what is seen currently).
In regards to the story. The Astrid thing was predictable and not really surprising. Sharon coronation is going to be interesting to see. Who knows, the Dev could have a hell of a twist coming and it might even be heartbreaking as hell. It is still very early I'd say in the game to tell(I don't know how many Episodes are planned). Either way, while I'm not feeling the Sharon worship as much anymore atm, I'll be here for the story regardless because that's why i started the game in the first place.
Also I'm still waiting to dominate my Vampire Mama. I can't let her get away with that sexy ass aloof behavior of her's!!!

Ok thanks for confirming. I'm going to skip a few updates as this isn't doing it for me. I really enjoy the story but I am starting to get frustrated, I really like to avoid that.

Of course. Just so you know, we are getting close to the end of chapter 2. Might want to read that and then wait until all chapter 3 is done to read that one.

Well, I do love this update. Despite having no choice, despite being short, despite haveing none romance at all - OK, a little bit, but even compared to the rest of Rebirth it is on the lower side.
What I love is, that for once we were given answers instead of questions around questions and we see a character development for Sharon. Hopefully she will change and also change her behaviour about the MC.
Can't wait for more.

Fair enough, this episode very much felt as something was set up. Whether that will come to a head in next update during instatement of Sharon or that it will be the theme of chapter 3, who knows besides devs.To be honest for me part with police officer could have been way shorter, did not see too much of interest there for the amount that was shown of it.
I did think the scenes with Sharon were interesting. Showing her off in opening scene, the naked scene with showing dress and at end. Well to me instead of simping seemed that actually Sharon is starting to see him more and more as a partner against her wish and MC just having proven a bit more he has her back and is more as just her student to her.
Now indeed there is little movement between Laurie and Carmen and MC at the moment. No idea how Laurie will come into play, but quite sure she will at some moment. Carmen I suspect will depend somewhat on what devs have planned with Gregor, so we might know in a few updates what devs planned with her, but maybe she is not meant for MC in the end at all. Also might professor Andrew be destined to get a new GF whether he wants to or not?
All the gripes with Sharon basically stems from people viewing this as some kind of dating sim or porn game. It's clearly not. I never once got the feeling that MC is simping on Sharon. Just think about this character called MC in the context of the story. He is behaving as any reasonable person would in his situation. He got turned randomly and Sharon helps him out more than anyone else. Sharon and Andrew are his pillars at this point and they provide knowledge, security, and camaraderie. Laurie is not romance material just yet. You wouldn't romance someone who has no free will to oppose you or feel anything other than adoration, would you? Maybe in the future, her status can change. There is a variable called SharonSavLaurie or something after all. Maybe Laurie's bout to die later and Sharon has to embrace her to save her life? Who knows. I'm no expert on vampire lore lol.At first i didn't feel the Sharon fatigue myself but just like some people here it's starting to kick in. I didn't mind Sharon at first because i didn't think she'd be the only choice or that the plot would revolve around her so much but now it's moving too close to the "Sharon is the only option and the one the MC should pay attention to" territory and that's what i kind of don't want to happen.

Carmen is one with some choice. I think she is clearly being set up as a potential LI later if you are nice to her. Or just use her as food. MC is obviously not going to fall in love with her randomly, though. You guys are acting like he should be able to start building love points for any character like it's some stat grinder dating sim.
So at this point in the story, MC does have his sights on Sharon. Yea, this is forced so far, but there are many hints that tell us there could be a big choice with Sharon later. Maybe something even more significant and game changing than a mere romance or not choice.
People honestly don't get that developmental resources are finite. Adding too much freedom or branches early in the plot leads to compounding and exponentially increasing workload. You can deal with this issue in 3 ways. Accept that quality may suffer and just try to include lots of freedom to affect the narrative, take a long ass time to flesh out all branches, or focus your time into delivering a good narrative with a narrow scope. The third choice is what the dev is going for. I don't see a problem with this approach if the writing can deliver a story worth following. It's not like I complain about not being able to influence the plot in movies or something.

I wouldn't skip the next update if I were anyone! Plus LikesBlondes stated that mid March life for them should return to a more normal state, which implies less typos and a bit more content.
Regarding the taste of foulness I think Ptolemy may just be messing with us. Sharon herself uses her powers for pretty much the same reason.
Things that are noteworthy was not so much action, as this update was low on actionable items, but it did have a lot of interesting occurrences, which were worthy of noting, not the least of which is Andrew's autonomy... For a guy who goes to bed when ordered, it is a big deal that he made the call that it would better serve his mistress to ignore her than to wait for her to come with them to get Gregor.... Additionally Carmen is clearly more capable of violence than Laurie (mentally) so the fact she did not run speaks volumes about her growing attraction to the MC.
Yes I know everyone is blah on Sharon, but honest to shit guys and ladies, there really is a good reason she is like this. She is a teenager in a teenager body at a teenager time of her vampire existence, and she was just given the family car, and no curfew. She is giddy about it. It is decades if not centuries early for her to be given the medieval equivalent of a Barony. We can argue semantics that the Anarchs use that term, but it was used long before and will be used long after the current nights.
Sharon is from a known bloodline within the city, as are Marcius, Markus, even Plubius and the Princeps. She has no clue about the Pagan Church (Sabbat sounding to me potentially) and whatever bloodlines that may represent. Hate on Sharon if you like. Simple facts are that it is an adult novel. It is not a PORN novel. I know 99% of the stuff on here is some form of skin flick wannabe material, but this is a story about vampires which are largely based thematically on the World of Darkness meta history and meta physiology and psychology of vampires. It uses some terminology from the actual books (Kine and Kindred are both used) and avoids others pretty scrupulously.
Vampires use what they have to do one thing, empower themselves. It is hard wired in their pseudo DNA.
Sex for the sake of sex is only desired until the vampire matures and realizes the blood transfer is so much more intimate and rewarding. Yes sex can be for the sake of sex, and our MC is literally a new born vamp in the body of a horny DJ. He will continue to try till he figures it out, then he will use sex as a tool, like almost all vampires do. (Nos and other uglies not withstanding)
Ok off soapbox.
Sharon Love!
Carmen Love!
Calisto Love!
Zephyr Love!
Kassandra Love!
Laurie Love!
Mirri Love!
Cindy Love!
Peace

I think that the Land Lady (hahahaha ironic you know? She really IS the land lady and not the mommy!) has likely been thralled already to Astrid or an ally, so I am betting that the professor had best watch his ass around that fine assed cougar!Fair enough, this episode very much felt as something was set up. Whether that will come to a head in next update during instatement of Sharon or that it will be the theme of chapter 3, who knows besides devs.To be honest for me part with police officer could have been way shorter, did not see too much of interest there for the amount that was shown of it.

This is exactly what the episode was about a setup for the investure of sharon and maybe a confrontation with AstridFair enough, this episode very much felt as something was set up.

And even maybe with Marcius.

If it is the end of episode 2 I'm in but as I said I like the story so want to avoid hating it for non story reasons.
Oh, yes. I see lots of setup in this and the previous update. But the shortness is killing it for me. I rather have a big 2 hour update then 10 minutes.

Yes but then you only get an update once every 9 months and i think for Likesblondes it's better to have consistency in his upload schedule to keep people paying for patreon

Did MC not do something to her due to her illness or was he only thinking about it?

I don't remember saying the MC should just fall in love with any character. I also didn't say the MC shouldn't show gratitude for what Sharon did for him. I didn't even say that i wanted several paths. I just didn't think Sharon was the only woman the MC would fancy throughout the story and that's where it seems to be going which i felt is somewhat forced.
You can have the MC show interest in multiple girls and Sharon has said multiple times she didn't mind it. I don't even think Vampires in general care about how many lovers or partners they have.
I don't want the dev to create multiple paths. The "only choice" may have been a poor word to use in my original post on my part but I'm not out here telling the dev to create multiple paths for women. I just thought the MC would eventually show interest in other women. That's what i mean. That unfortunately seems to not be the case anymore here. I didn't want a Laurie solo route or Carmen route or any other combination of those.
Again I've agreed that there's no telling where or what is going to happen in these next update and the Dev could turn everything upside down. I'm here for the story first and haven't complained about the MC not having sex.
The rest of what you said didn't really have anything to do with what i said specifically and i won't comment on it.

It will be the conclusion of episode 2. LikesBlondes stated that either this last update or the following would conclude this episode, Thus the March 20ish update finishes the chapter

I do not think he did anything to her, but go re watch or read the parts where she was in the hallway first and then passed out in her house naked. Pretty sure someone did naughty blood binding on her. At a minimum the Archon, Astrid, and the Archon's thugs have all been either very aware of his apartment's location and or been there. And all of the sudden she is having issues, probably dreaming of Burt Reynolds and his manstashes.

just a quick comment, and love the Mom Vampfu name... Vampires as they age and have experienced more than a human should, develop ennui. Clearly Vampfu Calisto was angsty and she is now interested, even if only to stir shit up, since she decided to make a baby vamp. I don't agree that she is anything like the rest of the Elders, because I think we are going to discover that she is a true Methuselah of the 4th or 5th generation (or equivalent for this game) to the 4th or 3rd generation (or equivalent for this game) of Mommy Artemis Vision Girl. These vamps in this city have no clue what a huge gap in power there is between an ancient and the youngster elders sired since say America was discovered. I think we may well see some very cool stuff. Also there are some choices we have made, which at this point are geared at developing our character. Our mentor and current object of our affection is transient. Calisto suggested not killing her yet as she may be useful, but the MC is not on that page at all, at least yet. So there is probably several significant choices that have been made already in our development, that are going to influence whether we are offered opportunities to do certain things with certain characters in the story. Remember there are things like Sharon Saves Laurie points and other points as well. So I am not sure I would call it purely a kinetic novel. A certain amount of the initial setting is pretty much going to have to be dictated as it was. I think we might be in the driver's seat on some upcoming action fairly soon. I know some folks do not care for the author. I personally love this story but detest anything Written by DPC. I like his artwork very much but his stories are ass. I think this amounts to personal choices and preferences.1- Of course this isn't MY novel. I'm just sharing my opinion about it in a pirate site
2- Porn or eroticism is part of this game, check Miri scene and others. I don't want porn just for the sake of it, It goes with the setting, dark vampire world.
This isn't MyLittlePony.
3- Mom vampfu isn't consistent at all. At first she was melancholic and bored with vampire politics but now she's a manipulative bitch like the rest of the elders.
So again, a sex scene would be good for that dark tone and atmosphere.
4- I said vampire politics are important in my first post but the game needs more than that to keep players engaged imo.
Oh! I just want to re point out something before the next update or three drop- this game has the Transformation tag on it. I have stated for a while that I think Astrid is this game's equivalent of a Sabbat spy and saboteur who can shift gender, and shape, and was the thing that did a number on Sharon in the woods.... and the Vision Girl asked the rhetorical question of would the MC be powerful enough to defeat HIM.... that really begs to be Astrid as a Tzmisce Fleshcrafter...... Which would be so epic.... ok back to other stuff.
Anyhow good stuff.
Peace
