where it centralized from;
— good chemistry, sparks, sexual tension
— good character development
— non feminine, non tsundere, one dimensional or stockholm syndrome uke
— shounen ai (or if it can't be helped no plotless smut where every chapters they have smegs)
— interesting, convincing plot (not clichè, no slice of life, no university, no police/detective/gangster trope, no concubine or sex worker trope, no arranged marriage trope, no omegaverse, no horror)
— yes to sanpaku eyes ml, playful or teasing ml, condescending ml but not to the point he hurts the mc or anyone around him, i only accept if it's a bl with actual psychological tag or ml have a diagnosed mental illness (same for mc)
— non toxic ml, non rude/cold ml, realistic and calculative ml
— i'm open for bl subtext/bromance outside of bl category, any genres except slice of life and horror (can be josei, shoujo, shounen or action-fantasy tag)
