Lord English seems like a pretty sane dude. Therefore, Jake can't be him.

also, if that Dirk really is a product of Jake's mind, how does he know so much?

Sadly, it's all downhill from here, since Aranea's involved.

...Someone should've nominated her for the Homestuck character contest. Would've liked to see just how badly she would've been slaughtered.

Man, Jack Noir is consistently great, no matter what universe.

Hmm...I wonder if we'll ever get actual dialogue from the three 'main' villains of the story (Jack, English, and The Condesce)

Jack sort of gets this pseudo-dialogue in the narration, but I mean I wonder if he'll ever hold an actual conversation.

Well first of all make sure you have auto save turned on.

Second, I'd say Act 2's end is a better point to go by.

Third, Act 1 ends on page 2147. That's not the actual page number, just the page number in the address bar.

You've made an excellent decision here. Homestuck is without equal.

I want to say Act 1 is like 200-250 pages long? Not sure. You will know what act you are in because they all have clearly defined ending and starting points. There's not really a way to judge unless you look at the map or log (which may contain spoilers), but I think once John starts playing the game you're about 1/3 to halfway done, and that's where the mechanics of the plot get interesting. Act 1 is not very long, so just soldier through it. It's not Umineko tier of "GET ON WITH IT" at the very least.

Personally, while it picks up slightly in Part 1, I think when it really starts to get great is the End of Act 2. Which I think is 500 pages, about twice the length of the first act.

No, it's worse.

I literally dropped Homestuck for a year because of Act 1.

That said totally best idea ever to go back to it.

I started Homestuck and got under 30 pages in 4 times over a year before going in because I told people I would if they read Gunnerkrigg.

Less than a week later, I was caught up at 4000 pages and had gotten too deep.

Act 1 is not that bad. At the start it's really goofy because it's the readers messing around but once the game boots up the "plot" starts getting interesting. And it doesn't even take that long to get that far.

Then again, I read Problem Sleuth first so I knew it was going to start goofy and then quickly get even more elaborate and ridiculous. And it did! Even faster than in Problem Sleuth, too, at the End of Act 1. So I knew what to expect. Well.........a mere fraction of what to expect.

You can pretty much ignore all the terminology as John is dicking around his house.

Most of the first Act is like that!

And he is just dicking around.

There is a bit of a curve with homestuck.

And we have yet to reach the peak of it. Homestuck has pretty much outdone itself for years now. I maintain that it is the most nonsensical thing that makes sense and the most sensical thing that makes nonsense.

If you get somewhere around act 4 and are just completely bored or something, homestuck might not be for you. If you suddenly find an inexplicable urge to rank all the characters every couple of topic pages...welcome to the club. >_>;;

It pokes fun at rpg mechanics a lot. The cards are like a character inventory. It is just a thing amongst many things in the homestuck universe.

The site is called MsPaint Adventures, and the stories are structured like adventure games, if you haven't figured it out already. The author makes it a point to make the "interface" as baffling as possible as a joke about adventure game logic.

So all of this "dicking around" is the player (who, in the early stages, were the readers actually giving John commands) trying to figure out the inventory system. It's......variable in relevance, depending on what's going on in the story. You'll get the hang of "how" to read Homestuck eventually.

Basically interspersed here and there. The music starts off a bit...basic, but quickly settles on some nice styles...

edit: would not scroll too much on this page as names and such might be spoilerific in a loose kind of sense, just wanted to point out that music will happen periodically.

They're basically IM conversations between characters and it's where like the entire story happens.
