I finally finished catching up. I managed to hold back on playing for an entire episode. It was a struggle but it had to be done. I was at the end of Episode 2, where I stopped. Now, I've played through all of Episode 3 and the beginning parts of 4. Let me just say, Episode 3 might just be my current favorite.
To start, Ep 3 was way more enjoyable knowing that it wouldn't end abruptly in cliffhangers. The fact that there was a Carmen and Calisto scene was just fantastic. I loved when I pushed Mommy down in the bath. Especially in front of Cindy. What made it even better was watching Sharon finally getting put in her place. I would say I feel indifferent towards her nowadays. It still was nice to see her ego trampled on.
As for Episode 4 and recent update, I'm not sure how I feel about Sharon turning Laurie. I get that there was no other choice(at least that I could tell) but I don't like Sharon possibly having control of her. That's what made their interactions great. Sharon couldn't force her to do anything when Laurie got snippy with her. Now, I'm not exactly sure what happens when someone's thrall is turned by another Vampire but I hope Laurie is independent from Sharon's command.
To end this, because it's already getting long. I would say it was way better to wait for an episode to finish, for myself, but I wouldn't recommend it. There was a lot of other details to mention but I'm still processing it all. Also, I gave Astrid to mommy. While I found Astrid hot, she was a bit of a pain and I really didn't care how Sharon would feel about it.
That's about it for me, at least for now. I'm debating if I should just wait for all of Episode 4 to complete and then binge it. I'll see how the next part plays out. If it's really interesting, then I'll struggle to ignore the updates so I can fully enjoy it.
Oh yeah, my favorite women are Calisto(1st) and Carmen(2nd) still. Then 3rd is Laurie and surprisingly, the new girl(for me) Ivy(4th), depending on if she reverts to her original behavior before Sharon started messing with her. I don't remember what my old list looked like fully but this is my current one, for now. 1st and 2nd definitely isn't changing.
There was only two choices;
1- Laurie dies.
2- Laurie is turned by Sharon.
Sharon is *this is factual and I guess somewhat of a spoiler but I have said it before, Sharon is a normal, non exceptional vampire. Her exceptional power, if she has one, is her humanity. Of course her Achilles Heel is her ego, which took a beating.
The turning "should" have broken the blood bond of the MC. *Thralling in this game.
Laurie is one step towards a thrall of Sharon, and Sharon will believe that Laurie SHOULD listen to her. Until Laurie fucks up though, she won't be compelled. *either through the blood bonding thralldom, or through the Domination power of her eyes.
Laurie should also get the domination power and that will potentially be hilarious. Laurie is less restrained than her sire, and could very well surpass her in power, as Sharon starves herself, and does not attempt to expand her powers, at least as far as we know.
As has been discussed elsewhere, the fact she was thralled to the MC SHOULD have zero effect on her powers as a vampire.
I do not think you will be disappointed. That Sharon and Laurie dynamic, if anything, just heated up. The MC no longer holds her reins, neither does Sharon, and they are all Vampires. Now of course the MC can kill everyone in the house, but he won't. He loves Sharon and Laurie, is falling for Carmen, has a soft spot for Ivy, and can't kill Calisto, but definitely wants to please and pleasure her. His life would be perfect if only Zephir could be added in!!!!!
Ok maybe that is simply my wish... still it is not a bad wish!
Peace
