A meme factory comic running since late 2009 and still going. Frequent updates, incredibly large and detailed world building with an insane fandom.

Alright, question: I've tried reading Homestuck a few times, but each time I can't go through Hivebent (Act 5 part 1), because it bored me to death and annoyed me to heck and back. Words of advice, anyone? Do I have to go through it? Is it really worth it?

Yeah it was rushed and all (7 panels a day because hussie knew it would be upsetting for fans), and we are still at art 5 to, but:

• It's part two
• You don't need to remember all the trolls because
  some of them die
• It links the Intermission into the main cast
• And the trolls are finally a major part of the plot.
  Karkat gave the world cancer

Also it is a mainly Hero mode comic for the most part, and is pretty much an infodump anyway, but It you don't, Act 5 part 2 will feel offbeat.
 
Here is ACT5 part 2 if you wish to skip (Won't make sense unril you read hivebent for the most part, or learn the quadrants.):

Anyway, Quadrants so you don't have to go though an angry kids CAPSLOCK RAGE:

 Trolls have four distinct forms of love. And similarly to how the blanket term "love" does not describe differences in relationships, there is a wide range within the four troll romances. These four romances are signified based on the suits in cards - ie, clubs, diamonds, spades, and hearts. The black-suited romances are implied to be built on hatred (or the "strongly negative"), and the red-suited romances are implied to be built on pity (or the "strongly positive"). The four quadrants of troll romance are: kismesis (♠), or "fated nemesis"; moirail (♦), or "fatedfriend"; matesprit (♥), the closest to human romance; and auspistice (♣), which involves three people - essentially, two rivals and their mediator. Trolls have the same word for "friend" and "enemy."

 
Kisemis means FoeYay.
Moirail means a morality pet friend.
Matesprit mean actual love.
Auspistice means someone stopping two from going all foe yay.
