I think I look for enjoyability in particular,, like it doesn't matter if the art isn't that good, doesn't matter if the plot is cliche ( however I do get pretty harsh with plot progressions, but I'm easily impressed too so it balances out ) but the very the very thing that keeps me reading is how enjoyable a story is.
i can't exactly put it into numbers but I'm pretty sure enjoyability is high.
Personally, i think a good indicator of a well-written story would be interesting side characters. A lot of stories just have black or white side characters with no depth, so seeing anyone other than the MC have a backstory makes me like it more
usually I look for this and determine how good the story is based off each but tbh sometimes idc and I just read shit to read it without much thought.
1. general plot - is it boring, is it complex, does the plot make sense or is it bs
2. character likeability - can I relate or resonate with a character or do I find them to be super annoying
3. world building - this one isn't required but if the plot is heavy on it's surroundings then I need good worldbuilding
4. how spicy the smut is (If it's NSFW) - this ones self explanatory but tbh some stories have smut I could do without
5. sometimes the artwork - art can make it or break it for me sometimes
I just rate them out of 5 for general likeability but I meanly look for if I like the general plot
What do you guys look for in works to evaluate them as good? What aspects do you look at when rating them, and how much out of 10 do you give each aspect?
