>>84250238A bit late to this debate but you have it completely wrong.
Can cover produce something better? Oh absolutely.
Should they? Eh not really.
See, vtyber lore is quite complex because the more you answer questions the more they pop up and sometimes you have to build it on the fly. For vtubers, theres the complex issue of,essentially, a character going rogue and offscript every single chapter for the sake of comedy and entertainment.
Watame is a sheep girl that sings lullabies... So why the fuck is she a shogun now? What is watamelon? Why didnt she do anything wrong? Why is she being devoured by a gaming lion that has a ramen shop and is a sniper? She can respawn now??
Vtuber lore is constantly mutating because its influenced by streams. The solution to this unstoppable mutation is to go..."guess we doing this now"
Some girls keep their kayfabe to the max (like FWMC) and others have deviated so much from the script that theyve created an entirely new character (Akai haato became Hachaama the strongest idol) and both are excellent ideas because the streamer is turning that script into something unique with their personality.
Which bring us to ENreco: why bother coming up with this massively weirdo and hard to keep track off lore when its gonna go against the vtubing spirit of making shit on the fly and going for the bit?
Irys came late because she was on a meeting and as such she became the town looney. Mumei gave herself a super long name but everyone got tired and started calling her three, the blue faction turned their empathy concept into an excuse to be racist against other factions,etc.
None if this would prosper if they had to act character motivations or character arcs
