I found the Epilogues to have some really dry prose and the dialogue rarely grabbed me, and I do think the story of Homestuck is better in its native medium, for SURE, but to call the Epilogues "too mean" is losing the forest for the trees. The epilogues are a deconstruction of the happily ever after. They're taking the ending of Homestuck and saying "You didn't think that just because they won, they'd be happy forever, right? They're still the maladjusted bastards from before, and now even worse thanks to their inability to cope with what they went through and with their new position as gods. There is more story to tell. Let's set up for that."
