Three checks:

1. There are three items in the taglike #fanficcat.
2. One of them is 'Crossover.'
3. The other two are either "Mass Effect Trilogy, Mass Effect Andromeda" or "Half-Life, Portal."

Examples, to make it more clear:

Spoiler:

"Half-Life, Portal" - ✘ no match
"Crossover, Half-Life, Mass Effect Trilogy" - ✘ no match
"Crossover, Half-Life, Portal, zzz" - ✘ no match
"Crossover, Half-Life, Portal" - ✔ 'yes'

However, I messed up the operators as I'm getting 'yes' on a book where #fanficcat is "Half-Life, Portal" (two items and it does not include crossover). Where did I make the mistake?

|| is lower priority than && so the clause after the || stands alone. You must put parentheses around the pair of clauses in the ||.

I recommend you always use parentheses to ensure that clauses are grouped how you want.
