Re: OP

[(Anonymous)]

I'm coming at this from almost the opposite end from you, it sounds like; the only reason I got into Homestuck in the first place was because I kept hearing from my friends about these weird things called "trolls," and some of what I heard sounded interesting, so I decided to give it a chance. Then I realized that what I had heard was seriously misleading - I had actually gotten the impression the trolls were the main characters, but had to plow through God knows how many pages of archives before they even showed up in Act Five. Then, half of them got slaughtered in what looked like a blatant example of Hussie realizing his cast was out of control and he needed to whittle it down to size. There were also all these other random groups running around that I really couldn't keep track of - exiles, gangsters, etc. - that I didn't find particularly interesting and seemed to keep sucking up time from the storyline.

There is a lot that I like about Homestuck. I agree with whoever upthread it was that said Hussie was very good at characterization when he wants to be; the kids and some of the trolls (the ones whom he spent the most time on - Karkat, I think Vriska, Terezi, maybe a couple others) are very well fleshed out and convincing characters IMO. His world-building is highly imaginative and he seems to have a good handle on his world. He isn't afraid to do dramatic things to either his world or the characters (although this might be helped by the fact that he has so frickin' many of them). But at the same time I agree that there are some pretty serious drawbacks too. I would love to see a full, *fair* review of the entire thing after it's done, that acknowledges both the good and the bad. I hope you write it - I would love to read it!
