Homestuck is something that you need great patience to read. The plot is complex, long, and wild from start to finish. All of the characters are so distinct and likable to each different kind of person who read it. Of course, do not limit your self. If you think you don't have the patience to read it, don't worry! You develop the patience. You discover things you never knew about yourself reading Homestuck. I was so against reading Homestuck for so long. I first read it 3 years before i got into it, and thought "oh man this is way too boring. I don't even like reading!". Then i started reading it again because I didn't feel like doing other "productive things" like schoolwork and whatever at the time. I still didn't quite enjoy reading most of the time, due to my small amount of patience, and when I did read I didn't like the genres people described Homestuck as. Tearjerker? Action? No thanks. After the first 120 pages or so of act one, I started to think it was somewhat entertaining and decided id keep reading it every day. You get attached to characters and keep going through the story despite the immense confusion and start getting used to the weird hi-jinks that start to make sense. I looked forward to the pesterlogs as much as I didn't want them. While HILARIOUS and how they shed light on some confusion in the comic, they also feel like they drag on and on and ON... Of course until you get to like, act 3. By then you're numb to the lengthy pesterlogs and just yearn for them, and their reactions to their situations. I love just about each and every character! Pretty much every character except clown boy. He is a fleshed out character you can like but... I cannot forgive him. Homestuck's inside jokes are the finest things like, /ever/. I love them far far too much. It makes pesterlogs at least 10x funnier. Also, I love to decipher and get used to the typing quirks too. The trolls add to the sudden and immense confusion when you get to them so, good luck with that. I suggest having a friend sworn to non-spoiling at the ready to answer questions or tell you the answer will soon come. Honestly, just read it. Not an order but, its an experience I feel like everyone needs. I feel like if everyone read it it could change them, make them understand everyone is different but the same due to the insight into characters lives. The way characters cant avoid trouble and fights with each other in their life until brought together through an even bigger threat makes a point about coming together through pain. Their emotional traumas and how they deal with them is honestly so wild to me. If you look around you can see people doing the same things. Anyways, just, I really suggest reading it. If you reaaally don't want to, that's on you. Its your choice. ♥
Homestuck is an experience...
