At least if it's a weird thing people could read it from tbe start so it'd look less overwhelming

Honestly I think that’s kind of a big disadvantage? Having it all be laid out there in front of you from the beginning lets you take it at your own pace and in the long term benefits a lot from letting you remember things that happened some time ago easier, and not leaving plot threads hanging so long you forget them. Hussie himself said Homestuck was made to be read archivally- Maybe some people prefer reading serially, but at the same time, the story suffered from the pauses. So it’s a pick your poison situation.
