I'd say my results are reasonably accurate? Though my feelings on tropes like A/B/O and soulmates really depend on how subversively they're written. It accurately flagged that my favorite things ever are found family, friends to lovers, forced proximity, and nonmonogamy, and my least favorite are groundhog day, amnesia, fairy tales, I guess P&P if I ever ran into it... what's missing is my least favorite trope, my ironclad won't read/never read even once: de-aging.
