as someone who has only ever read straight

as someone who reads all kinds of smut-straight, yaoi or yuri-there aren’t many yuris with good plot, smeggs or art. One of it is almost always lacking xdd i wish yaoi artists would start making GLs （￣へ￣）

This is an understatement...there are many GLs with great plot and characters. Depends on what you consider good plot. Most of the better ones are less spicy and more about life as a lesbian and having to live off as queer. The spicy ones you probably read are the angsty shitty ones everyone reads because they're popular...but Yuri and GLs are really good if you know which ones are worth your time. I recommend "A joyful life" and "Soulmate", "After The Curtancall". These two have great plot and characters. They're not spicy though. It's all about the feels and life. Yuri manga like "Still Sick", "Sing Me A Love Song", "Cheerful Amnesia", "If We Leave on Dot" are great too. A lot sweeter. A good, currently on-going spicy Yuri is "Drunken My Boss". Usually though, yuri can be a hit or miss if you want spicy stuff. The ones that are actually good usually don't even hold hands until chapter 30-50 haha! Slow burns are thr best yuri. Best of luck on your GL journey! There are good ones. You just need to find them and be open.

Thanks for the recs, i have been looking for fluff recently since smut is too much to read sometimes lol. I will check them out! And its true, i have mostly read popular GLs like Bad Girl Diary (;—; blegh) or the ones that look male-gazey etc. I loved drunken my boss bcs both partners were AMAZING, had character and were funny. I also think that gl authors draw spicy scenes which are repetitive;-; i wish they were more creative with it :/ anyway, thanks(▰˘◡˘▰)

I have a few more fluffy ones! Bad Thinking Diary and Best Friend sucked. I also recommend: "Her Tale Of Shim Chong"(any GL lover's favorite), "SQ:Begin W/Your Name", "Not So Shoujo Love Story", "I Love Amy", "She Loves to Cook, she loves To Eat", "Lily"(extreme slowburn but WORTH IT), "Getting To Know Grace"(feels and angsty really good plot), "Kase-San and Yamada", "Ouji-Sama Nante Iranai"(personal favorite fluff, also historical, and roommates), "Anemone Wa Netdu wo Obiru", "Lass", "HANA NI ARASHI"(PLS READ), "I married my best friend", "Dallae", "Koushin Koinu ni Koibumi wo"(action, military manga but the slowburn is worth it.), "if I Could Reach You"(another perdonal fav, messy romance but it's so-so good, angsty), "JK-chan to Dansei Doukyuusei no Okan"(this was was just fun, lol), "Bloom Into You"(yuri classic).

And um...yeah! That's all I can recommend for now. ENJOY!
