Ah, thanks for the background on the discussion. It makes a lot more sense that you are in part reacting to reviews that are judging the works from too high a standard.
I was very surprised to find out that Konohara-sensei's novels had already been translated. I can't imagine recommending her novels to most people in general, let alone the vast majority of people who read BL in English. Can who the illustrator of the novels be significant when the publishers chose the works they pick up?
