What is the /lit/ equivalent?

Have you read all of this? What kind of person reads this?

>> No.21792877

>>21792858
I have. It had its moments; the fans completely fucked it up. There's no real lit equivalent in terms of silliness/seriousness and scope imo.

Applies more to manga than literature. I guess the closest that comes to mind is Sherlock Holmes where writer was forced to retcon Sherlock death because of insane freaks. There's not many times this happens with contemporary works. There just isn't a longrunning series popular enough to have this risk. The type to freak out that badly are genuinely too dumb to read even pulpshit

"It is a [webcomic] to which we are all indebted and from which none of us can escape"

Can you tell me why is this a meme trilogy?
I know Infinite Jest is written in a way to chore the reader (Or at least that's what people say here), but what about the other two?

The creator dispersed Toblerone's bars through all of USA. He said that if you found one, you could wish something new to put in the canon (Homestuck^2). The first person who got it asked for John to be a troon. There was not even a single wish which wasn't autistic.

ok but we're not talking about homestuck2 (which everyone with a functioning limbic system knows is shit)
