What do you search for when looking for BL?
For example, when I’m looking for BL on unrequited love lists, I want to know if the uke or seme is the one in love, so I make sure to tag if the uke or seme is in love on my list.
I also read the ratings of a BL for any criticisms to mentally prepare myself sometimes lol

    For me it's always about good characters/characterization. Everything follows after. Bonus for good plot.

    I don't search for specific stuff I actually filter what I can't deal with, I try to avoid toxic stuff that already starts with rape
    I usually get attracted by interesting covers usually things with parenting if in the mood for fluff, or horny if I'm in the mood for smut. I give it a go to most comics but if three chapters in it feels like a chore or is hurting me bad(there's stuff that hurts but good) I just drop it, put it in my to read list and forget it

    The covers. Most of the time if the cover looks interesting I click, then I’ll read the summary and the comments.
    Sometimes I’ll find someone else’s recommendations, and I’ll click the link.
    Sometimes I’ll start reading, sometimes I won’t and sometimes they get dropped and forgotten.
