I really like Homestuck. I like very long and complicated plots such as Lost and Kingdom Hearts. It appeals to me greatly.
That being said, like others said, there are good and bad bits.
The good:
The plot. Yes it's complex, but able to be followed. The wiki and even tvtropes help. (This is from someone that finds everymanhybrid a little too confusing)
The characters, in my opinion, are all for the most part likeable. They may appear flat, but some do grow and change, John and Karkat come to mind.
This may not count, but the fanart too! I love seeing headcanons, extrapolations and other things about this series that make me understand it more.
The bad:
It's long. It's VERY long. It takes a long time to catch up, especially if you're waiting for updates and forget the plot.
Also the plot, while with help it can be followed, it's very confusing. Sometimes it seems just like a bunch of ideas got mashed together.
So pretty much. I think people should give it a shot. Don't let crazy fans and hype decide it for you. Try it on your own.
If you like long stories with complex plots, I think you'll enjoy this. If you don't, you probably won't.
Worth a shot
