"Plot is well written and makes sense most of the time" ...are you sure you're reading the same webcomic the rest of us are?
That's me.
I just feel that the plot is alright even though it has its fair share of flaws. And yes, I am reading the same webcomic as you.
It's more the "makes sense most of the time" part that's questionable
Hylarn:
I just haven't seen too many glaring flaws (unless I'm missing something here...) but please do point the flaws that you see out to me because I have yet to return to the comic and its been a while since I read it (like a few months).
...I was talking about flaws?
But I don't think you can honestly say that Homestuck makes sense most of the time. Or even often. It is intentionally written to be confusing. The reader rarely has the information to make sense of events as they are happening
I think it's pretty easy to get a handle on things. I admit, I was confused during the Midnight Crew intermission, but not much more than that.
"What's out there? What's waiting for me?"
Hylarn:
Oh that's what you meant. I thought you were talking about asspulls, plot holes, stuff like that. Sorry about the misunderstanding.

My opinion of Homestuck...
Pros:
Plot is well written and makes sense most of the time
Characters are very interesting and well-rounded
The art and animation have a unique style to them
The music is amazing
The character interactions are great
The humor can be funny.
Cons:
The length, dear god the length. Hussie has a tendency to drag things out which doesn't move the plot forward at all (some of the jokes, the trolls sometimes, and too many other moments to mention).
Some characters serve little purpose despite being well developed.
The first act may put off a few people because of its slow start.
The amount of ways a person can get revived kinda takes out the tension when they die since Hussie may create a new way to revive the dead person.
Overall: I'm currently on Act 5 Act 2 and my opinion is that this comic, while good, just keeps me from wanting to go back sometimes because of how long it is. I wouldn't care usually but this comic has a tendency to drag stuff out (most of which has little significance to the plot) but sometimes this may be necessary since it gives us more time to connect with the characters and their struggles.
Oh, and you have to get past the first act. There's another problem there.
Plus, some of the revival methods that Hussie creates just come out of nowhere but he makes them make SENSE. It's good that he can do that but....still.....
Overall, this comic is great and I love it. Although the length, slow start, meaningless characters (despite being well-developed), and the ludicrous amount of revival methods may put off a few people......Hussie's adeptness at handling a cast of Loads and Loads of Characters and weaving a great story with many plotlines is the main highlight of this webcomic.
Oh, and the flashes and art are great too. =)
