Really, Act One is the major failing of this comic, and probably the major reason why so many people come away with the "it's boring" impression. The buildup at the beginning really is that dull, and even hardcore fans acknowledge this!

But the payoff, for me anyway, for sticking with it until Act Two and beyond was so worth it. But it's hardly a strike against anyone who can't get past the beginning-- that's a legitimate reason not to be able to get into it.

I DEFINITELY DO NOT recommend skipping to the beginning of Hivebent, though. For the love of GOD do not do this. It may seem like it's a fresh start, but the truth of the matter is, it's still built on the foundation of all four preceding acts, such that very little exposition is required for the "new" story (really it's just a convergent story that will be merged into the "prime" story). Anyone new to the comic who attempts to start there will just get the hell confused out of them.

Ah I definitely don't mean skipping straight to Hivebent and reading that! You're right, it would be incredibly weird and confusing. Just taking a look at it to see the hero mode art and more 'weird' environments and happenings. I know I only started reading because I was interested in these weird troll characters that I had no idea were even in the comic.

Homestuck is definitely something you gotta force your way through masochistically before you start to like it though.

My recommendation for newer readers is to gloss over Act 1's dialogue. Between sylladex follies, Sburb, and characters that have not been introduced, there's a lot of information to process. It's off putting, understandably. Only after reading all of the other acts do I realize that Act 1's just as funny. Understanding HS's world goes a long way, I think.
