>>26270122All of the examples you're comparing her to are people who were in the right place at the right time, with a seemingly untapped market to explode in popularity, Lily's case being a bit different but still.
Saruei had a fanbase and big reputation on Twitch before she became a vtuber. Of course she didn't have 3K people watching her talk as she drew things but regardless.
She debuted and had a great work ethic at the time where VShojo collectively disappeared because of the Nux and Arcadum drama (when they really didn't need to), and her schedules also were a great balance of
>playing (and finishing) games>collab streams once every week or two>something unique for the week>new outfit almost every month>5-6 days a week which she still seems to keep most of the timeAll that hard work can help her grow, but I think she needs to make some lifestyle adjustments first.
