After being swallowed by the fandom for years and only emerging

No.

Yes. I still listen to the music. The music is good.

read "It Hurts!!" instead

I get that. I mean unless we're talking about the squiddle album.
But was the comic good though.
Were the characters good. Was the story compelling, well structured, memorable?

>>91410350
I do read that.
At least It Hurts makes shit up as it goes along and has the guts to admit it wasn't planned in any way.

No.

Problem Sleuth was good.

This wasn't.

>>91410306
No, yes.

>>91410306
No.

Homestuck was great for a little over a year and then it was mediocre with redeeming qualities to awful all the way afterwards. And the early stuff is tainted by the lack of payoff and storytelling. You can say Homestuck had a lot of potential, but you can't really call it good.

>>91410349
Did you know the guy behind the music made undertale?

>>91410905
This.
Looking back this reads too much like a man getting in way over his head.
For what he'd planned for this comic he would've needed a team of writers, not just a team of artists.
Or I don't know. He should've just turned it into a series of novels.

>>91410306
No.

Hussie is great at juggling plot threads. He's great at wordplay, rap, puns, character voices and characterization. All that? Good.

He can't use his plot threads worth a damn and he killed off Nepeta for pretty much no reason. Bad.

>>91410945
Yes obv. The music in that is quite good as well.

post canwc

>>91410350
this.
Also, check mspaint fanadventures for new things to read.

I enjoyed the characters, the simple designs that could be interpreted and re-imagined in many different styles, the music and flash-movies, and the interactivity with the readers and fan-contributors. It's a 'comic' that basically mixes all existing forms of storytelling in a way that could only be accomplished by being created for the internet. Hussie can also be pretty damn funny imo.

But the story is all over the place and mostly unpleasant to get through. It goes to shit halfway.

>>91410306

>Was this good?

No.

>Was it ever good?

Yes.

HSG was good

>>91411896
>what remains of hsg isnt even about homestuck anymore
>its not even on a chan anymore

>>91410306
It was good in the early years.

But the mountains of shit being stacked higher and higher outweigh the good TREMENDOUSLY.

>>91411240
>he killed off Nepeta for pretty much no reason.
She was a nothing character. She had the plot significance of dust. Hussie's biggest sin was not killing her off, but killing her off so late into the story. Or, of course, introducing her into the story at all.

>>91412154
this comic definitely suffered from an overabundance of pointless characters

I liked Sopor Gamzee waaaaaaaaay more than I liked him afterwards. Jeez, what a waste of a good character.

>>91412583
at least str8-edge gamzee did stuff

>>91410306
Homestuck started off fine and steadily got better. Then it started meandering and lost its way before ultimately hitting the Scratch. Everything after that is complete garbage.
It should have ended with the Scratch and the link to the next page simply taking you back to page 1 and naming John.

>>91412674
But he wasn't fun to read.

>>91411844
Should've just made a Midnight Crew/Felt story instead of Homestuck.

>>91411896
It's just >muhdavejade >fuck davekat >repostan kanaya now.

Like anyone cares?

>>91410306
Problem Sleuth was always better.

>>91412909
>shipping dave at all
he's pure and also 13

>>91413016
He's like, twenty now.

All through Act 5 was good; even if the comedy took a back seat at the start of Act 5, the story was interesting and tense and it felt like anybody could die. The only problem is that it set up some pins that Act 6 couldn't knock down. The first half of the comic was definitely good, I'd argue great.

>>91410945
>the guy
That guy's only responsible for a fraction of the good shit on the homestuck albums.

>>91411505
good, the snowman reveal made me laugh
