Very influential for a generation, although not as widespread as the shit of Harry Potter or some other traditional published books. Still, it is radically innovative and of a much higher artistry. Actually, it is unironically great. Will be a milestone when it gets the appreciation it deserves.

Sort of a webcomic, originated from a style of quest that actually came from old 4chan where 1 picture accompanied the text of the post describing the situation and awaiting the player's decision out of a selection of options or as an originally suggested act

It starts out in the format of one picture per page that describes the scene and while it was going it waited for the players to suggest the progression. I heard on /co/ it updated hourly in the beginning.

Later when the story got cringified (it stops being kino after act 4 don't listen to the act 5 shills) he was writing it all by himselfr

Uses tunes interactive flashes and animations with comfy kino music https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOSnen64a7M

normalfag actually means something while :out of the loop" can be substituted for many semblant idioms

buzzword doesn't mean "used too much" if the word has an identifiable definition. Going on that criterion "onions" isn't a buzzword while "NPC" kinda has become because /pol/ ruined it.

I expect all of that to go over your bugperson head what a fucking useless paragraph I wrote

Breddy good up to the end of act 4, story begins to disintegrate rapidly into a long mess afterwards.

You'd say normalfags happened but even they don't stand for this shit and would fucking eat newgrounds up if you repackaged it to them (it was sorta replaced by other websites fulfilling fragmentary purposes of it but the feel of it would have been neat to them, I have sort of a social life to cite)

The quality dips considerably during and after Hivebent, but Eri and Caliborn are based enough that it's worth the trouble reading just for them.

I quite like the first few acts with the kids and the Midnight Crew intermission and the mailman. The later stuff is largely shit, but he still did some really cool stuff formally. The time shenanigans with the passwords was especially cool.

It was an enjoyable experience that I felt was satisfying overall, though I had some gripes about the ending.

The overzealous fans celebrate the throw-away aspects that indulged their fantasies, as with every other franchise, and the overzealous critics focus too heavily on the weak social constructs, as with every other franchise.

I enjoyed reading Homestuck and will re-read it at another point in time.

Pretty fucking badly, as painful as the dream bubble stuff can be to endure. But I think the two Meenah flash games are safe to skip since they just introduce a bunch of irrelevant dumb characters.

It started off incredibly promising in act one. After that the quality dipped a fair bit, but not enough to be problem. Shortly after Hussy self inserted everything went down hill real fast and I couldn't care enough to look for updates. I stopped shortly after the parents got introduced and the original kids and trolls were on an asteroid just doing nothing. I really wish it continued to be great instead of turning into the cancer it is now.
