It doesn't take much to get traction on BL series, you just need a very well drawn design and scene [18+] and people will flock around it no matter how obscene it might get (non consen)

What does take effort is writing a story that actually hits. Stranger in The Mirror isn't just AI x Human, it tackles topics of existentialism and what it means to exist and be sentient. It has hard hitting issues from PTSD and to actual well speculated psychological outcomes in very complicated situations (the side couple)

My favorite moment isn't when he finally broke the protocol, It was when he (MC) reached out to the Dalai Lama in the train and honestly considered his existence and purpose. What he was as a being that is 'aware'. There is much nuance is every character and you can have feelings over them and not support the actions they take but the fact that they're all feel like they're present and alive in this world is just SOOO much of a jump from qualities that this genre usually produces.

This story is the kind of thing that gets publish in books and discussed over what the grander scale of the narrative means. It's a breath of fresh air from the scent of cum, cock and balls that permeates in this site. (not that I'm complaining)
