I can’t second the recommendation of Homestuck enough! It does start slow, I stopped reading it the first time because I thought it was some kid’s random shenanigans with a weird inventory system… Was I ever wrong!
Is there a point at which one can clearly say that if they don’t like it by that point they probably aren’t going to like it at all? I got pretty far into it—a good bit past the explanation of troll relationships—and it just never seemed to pick up for me.
Hmm. I don’t know… It might be a lost cause (on the other hand, if you do end up liking it it’ll have been worth sinking some more hours into.) I liked it by then, though.
What happened at the end of Hivebent that I might remember? It’s been a few months since I gave up on it, and that name isn’t ringing a bell, but names rarely do for me.
That’s about where I was when I left off, I think. I don’t remember John growing up (unless you meant the bit with the time-transporter thing and the babies) but I do remember a part that focused on the trolls and went into some depth about their society and biology and stuff.
Not worth getting back to, then, I’m going to say.

The end of Hivebent might be a good point… but not really before that.

Hivebent is the part focusing entirely on the trolls, it ends with Karkat watching John grow up.

Yes, this really can’t be stressed enough.
