Homestuck is a very mixed bag, with each of its 4 parts varying in quality drastically. Part 1 (Acts 1-4) is very charming, it's funny, epic and can genuinely make one feel nostalgic for their childhood. Part 2 (Act 5) is flawed due to it introducing the trolls, but it's ultimately really good as well. The problems begin with the comic's second half (Parts 3 and 4), where the plot, characters, pacing and other things become worse and worse, until the comic ultimately loses all the charm and personality it once had. Homestuck is still really likable though, despite its issues. It's definitely the most unique story I've ever seen, both the plot and format are something straight up out of this world. 8/10, it's not for everyone but I highly recommend it.
