It's fun if you can power through the intro long enough to get into it and then dip out at some point. The animations and music rule though. --- Hambo's alt. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Don't. It was a neat experiment in interactive media, but 99.9% of the actual comic is reading chat logs with obnoxious typing styles. Then, once you get to know the characters, it'll hard pivot to a different set of characters and you start all over. This will happen multiple times. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

It's actually very good, but the others aren't wrong about it having a slow start or it being a lot of text logs. It's honestly more novel than webcomic. If you do stick with it, I'd recommend this. A lot of the original Homestuck broke when Flash ended and they didn't bother fixing it. I think they just threw up YouTube videos. This fan project does fix it. https://homestuck.github.io/ --- https://i.imgur.com/Er6TT.gif https://i.imgur.com/Er6TT.gif https://i.imgur.com/Er6TT.gif So? I deeded to some gay porn.

Problem Sleuth was a great read, albeit all over the place at times. Homestuck was a clusterfuck that was great at times, as well as utterly incomprehensible. --- I took out my gopher-chucks, and proceeded to BOOGIE DOWN! ... Copied to Clipboard!

Problem Sleuth is great fun. Still pretty long but much, much shorter than Homestuck. Might be worth trying that to see if you "get" Andrew Hussie's sense of humor. --- https://i.imgur.com/Er6TT.gif https://i.imgur.com/Er6TT.gif https://i.imgur.com/Er6TT.gif So?

Homestuck is entertaining until almost everything after Game Over's animation (Collide is good). At that point it feels like Hussie let some fans take over and write a bunch of bullshit that murders multiple character personalities and characte arcs for.... no pay off at all.

The *premise* of Homestuck was awesome. 4 e-friends hop on the newest game and things get really wacky. Very nostalgic for me as someone who grew up on web 1.0, AOL messenger, etc. The execution, however...ugh. The above ends up being maybe 5% of the experience and the rest is filled out by lolsorandumb nonsense, self-insert OCs, WAY too much esoteric terminology made up just for the story, time travel shenanigans. Also I don't think any other work of fiction in human history treats character deaths - even gruesome death - as something so inconsequential. Literally DBZ had higher stakes for characters dying than Homestuck does. Honestly, the main reason it was popular is because dressing up like a certain alien race in the story basically became this furry/brony-adjacent thing for a while. I can't believe how many fans I met who admitted they only skimmed the comic and skipped all the chat logs where like 90% of the story happens. It was a large majority of them. I dunno where I'm going with this. Let me try to wrap it up. The core idea was cool. It got bloated to hell very quickly. The majority of the plot is incomprehensible meandering. The ending sucked. The fandom was uniquely cringe, participating in it was the major draw of the series, and everyone has moved on. It's not worth reading. imo --- I'm Pickle RIIIICK!! ... Copied to Clipboard!

I enjoyed the original MSPaint Adventures comics, and Problem Sleuth was pretty fun, even though it dragged on a lot, but I just couldn't get through Homestuck. There were some decent moments, but when the trolls became a major focus I gave up. That part was honestly the most painful thing I've ever read. --- Want some rye? 'Course ya do! ...

Man, this topic made me go back through a bunch of the animations and I don't care what anyone says. This shit was fucking incredible and still is. It requires you to vibe with Hussie's humor, remember the deep-ass worldbuilding, and keep track of the convoluted plot, but it's excellent if you do that. --- https://i.imgur.com/Er6TT.gif https://i.imgur.com/Er6TT.gif https://i.imgur.com/Er6TT.gif So?
