There are a lot of BL I think are good or have good aspects but are lacking ~something~ (usually in the story e.g. bad pacing, weird resolution, bad moments). Idk, maybe my standards are getting inconsistent, but I felt bad about all the comics I’ve read over the years that didn’t quite make my HQ list and I’ve probably forgotten the titles of by now RIP… Anyway like I said my standards are subjective so I may reevaluate and move things between lists.
