I am rDrama's #1 non-!biofoids fanfic consooomer
Just go on AO3, FFnet or SpaceBattles for the general popular shit. If you want true touhou kino, go on thp.moe or the archives shrinemaiden.org (current iteration is down to just a single MtF (with a kid and ex-wife lol) ) which both have 100% male userbases compared to AO3 or FFnets 90% female userbase, it all depends on what you're reading though (touhou specifically kek).

As long as we're discussing fanfics here, I got a few bangers I want to put people onto:
A DBZ fic where Gohan was kidnapped by CHADitz and raised as a saiyan before returning to earth after cell saga occurred. Pretty good: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9385549/1/The-Long-Road
An MHA/DBZ Crossover fic with Gohan as the main character (The author abandoned it at the best part though rip): https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12959721/1/The-Symbol-of-Peace-and-Justice
A DBZ G*mer Self insert that's actually pretty well written IMO. The author also has some Harry Potter and Pokemon G*mer fics as well: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12573205/1/Dragonball-RPG-Tetralogy
A persona 5 fanfic where one small change in timeline leads to some big changes in the timeline. It isn't entirely homosexual so it's pretty readable: https://archiveofourown.org/works/30228501/chapters/74488923
Sadly, I've noticed fewer and fewer good fanfics these days. It's almost always fujo nonsense. And the subreddit for fanfics is beyond gay, so there isn't anywhere to really discuss fanfics.

use filters on fanfic websites to sort out stuff you hate, then start digging for non-crap based on the descriptions. Most the time you'll nope out skimming chapter 1 because you realize the author is r-slurred
bonus advice:
maybe read DLP reviews
https://forums.darklordpotter.net/
This forum has that unnecessary mid 00s edginess
They're focused on Harry Potter, but review any type of fanficion. Usually I can find reviews of my favorite Star Wars fanfics on there. They have a reputation for being elitist about fanfiction quality
which used to REALLY piss people off
Downhill since they replaced IRC with groomercord
look, they're fighting
Space battles also has fanfic reccomendation, their userbase has more g*mers and marvel fans that watch anime, and has multiverse neurodivergents
https://forums.spacebattles.com/forums/story-ideas-recommendations.63/
I don't really know much about them tbh
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Here's their creative writing forum sorted by Views. Most of the fanfics on there are Worm focused which is a massive webnovel, this is a link to its table of contents, to the point where they subdivided a subforum of Creative Writing into Worm specifically. Views isn't a great indicator of quality but there's a filter and a search thing which are pretty easy to work.

ive already read worm and knew a little about sb, ty for the rundown tho
maybe i should just read ward. i feel like i have to reread worm to do that tho and its so much investment
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
I didn't find Ward that engrossing but I only gave it a couple chapters to prove itself. In terms of webnovels I'd recommend "Taint." It's unfinished and the author seems to have privated the website or something but it's still available through the Internet archive
https://web.archive.org/web/20180310202959/http://lsdell.com/chapter-001-first-floor/
Most of the sloppa on RoyalRoad's Best Rated is at least palatable.
I also have a list of unfinished stuff from various sites that I was bitching about not updating from a couple days ago and can scrape together a list of stuff that actually finished later today if you're interested.

Mother of Learning is great
@ticktocktrainbuteepy
The Perfect Run is okay but childish and stupid
Rock falls, everyone dies is pretty funny, a good introduction to litrpg that doesn't turn into neurodivergent number crunching.
Never Die Twice is good, interesting setting and story and another litrpg that isn't too neurodivergent but it looks like you'd have to buy it or pirate it since it's a stub now
My #1 rule is to never start anything unfinished and to double check to make sure something marked finished is actually finished and doesn't have some sequel (that's really just a continuation of the same plot line, not a real sequel) that was last updated 7 years ago. If it's not finished it never will be.
But I'm sure if you read fanfics with any regularity you've already learned this

Honestly the one I linked is actually good, not just okay or more than okay. It's not YA slop, the writing is high quality, and the story is interesting. Sure, it's not exactly high literature but I've read published books that are a heck of a lot worse

Jerking off to horsefics is wrong and I skip the s*x scenes
That being said, this one is good https://www.fimfiction.net/story/422349/a-lapse-of-reason

for your tastes but the author actually showing some restraint made the s*x scenes a lot less obnoxious to me so I ended up liking it

Fair. I tend to just live in the moment under my piles of projects and not finish anything fricking ever, so it kinda doesn't matter if a story I dropped halfway in is complete or not

Oic. I'm basically the opposite - once I've started something it's really difficult for me to not finish it. Unless it's total garbage I get really sucked in, so I try to be careful about what I start reading and if it ends on some cliffhanger with no updates for 7 years and no sign of the author since 2019 I get really mad
at this point I mostly get mad at myself for not noticing tho
