That sounds like an understandable desire and a reasonable enough approach to me. As you've already got firsthand experience with, Homestuck is something extremely special, and if you're able to click with it it can be downright life changing. That said, I imagine it's going to be rather difficult, so I wish you (and anyone else in your shoes) the best of luck in finding the thing that helps you "get" it.

For me at least, seeing the beloved cast and the connections they made change and drift apart largely for the worse, is a bitter pill that's nonetheless worth swallowing. It reflects the sad fact that growing up and going through life as an adult rarely actually means the kind of "happily ever after" one envisioned when one was younger. And I do find the conceit of questioning what it even means for a story to "end" and whether narrative closure is even something desirable, either for a character or a reader, to be highly compelling. Exploring the idea that the price of the story carrying on is the continuation of the endless cycle of change and grief these characters are subjected to by nature of being characters in an ongoing narrative has so far been at least as interesting as it's been heartbreaking.

Plus, the humor and charm of the writing and art for characters both old and new remains delightful, which I'd find worth coming back for no matter how much I may dislike the direction something in particular was taken. But I'm also just easy to please when it comes to the prospect of More Homestuck.
