It never stopped for me, I said in my post that it's fine if people decide not to read it because of the art! I also started reading HINABN because of the artwork, but dropped it because everything else was lackluster. Obviously you place a higher priority on art than I do, since I much prefer wordplay and characterisation than good art. I guess for me the art in MSPA is more like the punctuation in a Cormac McCarthy book; a stylistic choice that some people might find annoying and confusing, but if you like it it becomes part of the experience of the book and if you don't like it, there's still a story you might like beneath the 'veneer' of writing style. For your Shakespeare example, I would probably still read it if I really liked Shakespeare; otherwise I could get a 'translated' version with normal text which is kinda analogous to the reams of different styles of fanart for MSPA. I also honestly disliked the art in Watchmen but it's still one of my favourite things!

Anyway, wall of text over. Again, I totally don't have a problem with anyone disliking it because of the art, but I do like discussing people's reactions to it and why they like/dislike it :B

Oh, I actually find the art quite charming is MSPA. I just got bored with the comic around 5 Acts in. The common opinion is that it 'gets good after Act 1', and I don't really feel that it did. Certainly didn't get worse, just not... more interesting. I may swing by again later, but the internet's insistence that it's amazing when I've read a decent chunk and still disagree bothers me. It seems like a lot of fans (at least the vocal ones here, can't talk for the rest of the 'net) attribute people's dislike solely because of the artwork. This is not my case, and even if it was, I just... don't see why that matters if that is the case?

Nothing to add except to say this - the art made me look at MSPA. The story did not make me stay.

The art is pretty good, even if deliberately simple. It's really very charming, and it should be obvious that the artist knows what they're doing. I still couldn't get into the story. Whatev - that doesn't mean others won't enjoy the story.

Though I also think the very, very cool looking trolls did pull in more readers. Art matters if it isn't pure writing.
