Are Chuck Tingle's books actually good in terms of being compelling love stories?

Define "good". The books themselves are (probably intentionally) written in the style of ridiculous slash fan-fiction.

If that's your jam they're actually pretty good. The writing is surprisingly self aware and the characters are well written ... for what they are.

This review of Trans Wizard Harriet Porber And The Bad Boy Parasaurolophus is worth a watch to get an idea of what you'd be getting into.

Good is anything I personally like

Tingleverse is an acquired taste, but he does have books that fall under more conventional (and easier to say the titles of without raising a brow.) themes like Camp Damascus and Bury Your Gays which are both solid horror books.
