## Review summary

Reviews praise Flying Lines for a large BL/Yaoi selection and generally good translations that preserve mood, plus timely updates and responsive support. However, multiple reviewers cite inconsistent translation quality, misnamed characters, and altered titles; monetization and access problems (VIPs, price, locked chapters); completion/availability issues (dropped or misrepresented series); and concerns about policy changes that feel profit-driven.

### Pros

- High-quality translations that preserve mood and tone when done well
- Large catalog of BL/Yaoi novels and Chinese works
- Timely chapter updates and an active, engaged community
- Responsive customer support and issue resolution
- Overall positive experience when translations are accurate and engaging

### Cons

- Translation quality is inconsistent, with heavy reliance on machine translation (MTL) and name/title changes
- Content and completion issues, including series marked as completed or locked chapters and endings added to finish a work
- Monetization frustrations: VIP access problems, paywalls, and high costs for reading
- App reliability issues and access problems (VIP not working, login/sharing problems, occasional 'no internet' errors)
- Shifts in translation policy and transparency (MTL with human revision, fewer rewards), seen as profit-driven by some users
