(Its not slash, not erotica, not primarily a romance (though it does have a strong central m/f relationship) and it seems that makes it of no interest to the fandom crowd.)
In all honesty, this is the case when it comes to me personally. That's why I haven't volunteered to take a look at it.
The one I've just finished, The Sorcerer of Setbacks and Tailbacks, features a bisexual male main character and a sort of pre-slash primary gay relationship, if that makes it of any interest in a few months' time when it's edited. It's also principally about grief, so since the main character is still basically grieving throughout the course of this novel, the relationship does not begin here, but it's definitely a thing in the main series which is set 6 years later.
You would definitely not be obliged to continue if after a couple of chapters it was not your thing! I am aware that there is a difference between a bad novel and something that is just not someone's particular taste.
