It’s not a show, and typically one would play that game of “never read this” fairly unironically. But the webcomic Homestuck starts off REALLY slow and takes a few hundred pages to really even become interesting. It was so long ago, but I’m guessing page 246 was when I started to legitimately be interested in it. And I would say it finally gets good at page 1149.
So why did I read 245 pages of a story I wasn’t very much interested in? The music, pretty much. I had already known Toby Fox had worked on something called Homestuck because of the history behind Another Medium (YouTube), and then I encountered this track (YouTube) in the wild and decided to read it at least until I reached the page this music is from.
Also, if you look at it purely for the ratio, getting good 1/8 of the way through is a little better than standard.
Pleasantly surprised to see the track you linked wasn’t megalomania but Beatdown instead! Homestuck’s music is amazing but I always warm people, if you like the music and wanna know where it came from you’re gonna have a lot of reading to do.
