an appealing enough art style or some other aspect of a story can be a strong enough draw to get me reading something, but I'll never be able to avoid or not notice all ways it sucks or try to think about how it could be different or better.
it's like seeing stuff for rich people with more money than taste - like those garish mansions full of luxury materials applied to hideous effect.

Am i the only one who occasionally reads shitty bls on purpose? I went in knowing how shitty and horrible if was and be like wow all the trigger warnings imaginable, but the art is great or sometimes decent, its very very black flag with good smut or smth. The uke is def a victim damsel with severe stockholm or trauma bonded with the abusive top. It honestly makes me appreciate great stories more cos dang that was a shitty characterization or plot with no substance. Makes me turn off my brain for a hot sec and just read mind numbingly stories with a 1dimensional content
