As a reader I've liked it due to additional information it's given me.
I've also found interesting works that I enjoyed based on tags such as technopathy, time travel, my favourite work, community: blind_go, which are all free form tags that I doubt would exist if writers didn't have the ability to create and group their works together.
My recommendations are to try and make your character tags unambiguated - so that it's clear which Hikaru your talking about for example (otherwise it will be hard for people to find your work when their looking for that specific one, although I've also enjoyed looking through all the varied Hikaru's on the archive - the Hikaru tag is a meta tag that will pull from many of the specific Hikaru's), and have a look at the top 200 tags list on ao3, for see what some of the most common tags are that your work could add on to.
