That kind of story telling

I've been reading a manga recently. I won't go into details about it because well, I actaully just rather not, I'll just leave it at it's an echi manga. I really like this manga, it's interesting, amusing, and has decent character development. It's odd on top of all of that. That being said it's not great, it does what it does decent, but not great like other manga that have touched my heart, and for how long it is I would expect more (90 chapters and still ongoing.) I do have one main gripe, and it's a method of story telling it uses.

Favorites

How can I have a favorite. I like things because of certain qualities. I may like some book because of how it's set up and another because of the characters. A favorite is an absolute above all else, but I like a lot of things, not one thing could be a favorite. If someone asks me what my favorite anime is how do I answer. Well I do have an anime I spout out (The Melancholy Haruhi Suzumiya) for such an occasion because they expect a straight forward answer and don't deserve to sit there while I ramble.
