is this good yuri or for the male gaze ?

Both? Male gaze as in quite ecchi but also good yuri since they really dive into the characters and the relationships are great whether platonic or romantic.

Some chapters have stories, some are slice of life episodic

As a lesbian i love it and idk I don't find it male gaze since im attracted to women as well ig

Agreed, love women. But usually male gaze means unnecessary fan service and fetishizing lesbians.
