Ratings and reviews

Fantastic so far. The only problem is that the cutscenes are choppy and slow. If you pause it and let it sit for a few minutes it will load more of it and it will be less slow for like.. Five seconds? I hope they fix this or make external links to youtube where we can watch them. Otherwise everything is amazing. Next 4/20/21 is gonna be wild with the new pack of clowns :0)

This is a different kind of experience, yet maintains the humor that made me fall in love with Homestuck. The story is wild and ridiculous, but delves into serious topics every once in a while making the experience much better. The struggles of the main characters (which aren't completely relatable of course) are something I think a lot of people experience, in a sort of loose sense. People trying their best in impossible situations, getting in over their head, wanting to push back against evil.

I'll throw in my two cents. the story was fantastic and the premise is equally batshit and thought provoking, like most of hussie's work. I did agree with other reviews that it was difficult to suspend belief at certain times, but the more the story progressed and the more that was revealed the more everything started to make sense. some of the events that seemed unbelievable started to reflect elements of events and even people in human history that seem outrageous in contrast to the norm.
