I've been following it since before the reboot - I liked it from the beginning, so my opinion probably doesn't matter to you, but I think the reboot made it even better. And I feel like it treats the different characters' religions (there's analogues to Islam, Judaism and Christianity all featured) very well.

(I do have a kneejerk reaction to people saying Knights Errant is terrible, because 90% of the criticism of it that I see is "The main character turned out to be a WOMAN and I was BAITED with promises of GAY MEN", which ignores both the large number of gay/bi men and M/M relationships in the cast, and also the fact that the main character is not a woman anyway, he's a trans man. And part of the reason the creator chose to reboot the comic is because of how incredibly transphobic people got in the comments about this.)

It was less the fact that it went that route and more the way the creator behaved about it that made most people react that way. She made a huge song and dance about how great and funny it was that she "tricked" people, dumb idiot yaoi fangirls that they are, and when people got kind of annoyed at this, she started to present it as this huge transphobia thing.
That and I'd been following her on LiveJournal for a while before the webcomic was officially started and the LJ it was locked and she kept referring to her trans main character as a "fierce lady" etc. so I really found her "holier than thou" behaviour incredibly hypocritical.

Huh. That sucks, and I understand why it would put you off. It's not the impression I got from the original comic, and it's definitely not the impression I get from the reboot. I do know that the comic changed a lot from the original concept, and that the character going from a woman to a trans man was part of that, so I hope that the last bit was just a matter of character evolution.
