Girl Genius

It's really just the faces. Those weird fucking faces.

i thought it was ok
but i did stop reading several years ago so i dont know
i lost my place and dont feel like picking it back up

So just buckling up and reading until i like it ?
Is all the hype worth it ?

>>92908605
Wow, you can spot the Floglioness in the thumbnail

It's fun enough to make up for the silly putty faces.
The plot moves like a glacier, constantly, but almost imperceptibly. I think there was just a timeskip due to some stasis bomb going off or something. They haven't stopped to talk about anything since it happened.
The Jagers are the best part.

...I just assumed it was a Gold Digger ripoff.

It might be, depends on your tolerance for confusing garish art. I liked the starting chapter and maybe the next two years, and I still bookmark it. But if a page has too much text and confusing panels I just skip it. Latest update was readable, by GG standards that is.
Maybe it's the colours, the earliest pages were grayscale, pic related.

>Does writing make up for eye gouging art
Yeah. One Punch Man proved it as a fact if the writing is good enough it doesnt matter how bad your drawings are.

It's personal taste. Any shared objective facts require more clarification from you.
Read it until you don't want to any more. If you go until you hate it, you've gone too far. I did that with Star Trek Voyager and jesus fucking christ that is now the one thing in the world that triggers me more than child rapists, genocidal fascist leaders, etc. Voyager is a hate crime that should be outlawed. Let me tell you about it's evils. Here's an interiew with Ronald D. Moore that clarifies it from an insider perspective. http://www.lcarscom.net/rdm1000118.htm

but Girl Genius is no One Punch Man.

It's not just the glacial pace. Good plots can be very slow and yet still have good pacing if the micro-arcs of an update are done well {IMO ErfWorld does this well. Every page satisfies me.}, but this just isn't worth it.

From reading it for years {up until they left the castle}, my impression was that this was nothing but bait for people who like quirky girl genius characters {with varying degrees of dubious morality. I think there's at least one clearly malicious girl genius characters as well.}. I was a libcuck in my youth {I'm a moderate even tho I use /pol/ terms} so that's probably attractive to me, but this seriously wore out it's welcome really easily.

>The Jagers are the best part.
... Yeah, somehow the Jagers are the least bad thing about this despite being such a simple, repeating gimmick. I wonder how fast he could run a Jager spin-off into the ground. Somehow I imagine it would be immediate, but his perseverance have probably made him popular enough that he could get away with it beyond that.

"It Hurts!!"
Checkmate, atheists.

The plot moves slow as fuck, but the most insulting part is that they keep taking detours to fuck around with other things. They rarely mesh well with the overall direction of the plot and tend to make it come to a screeching halt so they can have a three way medical session or something for years on end.

When Zombie Charlemagne popped up I think I actually sighed.

Name one that's as famous and successful as OPM
>>not basics common sense
It ought to be but it's not. There are plenty of people never give stories a chance because of the art.
>>it was only with the inception of a cult webcomic that only took off when a more skilled artist redrew it that bad art was factually proven not to be a factor in good story telling
there can be more than one thing that proves something true. OPM is just the most famous example.
