Luxiem put NijiEN on the map, and Noctyx was well-received enough to keep bringing in more female fans and draw attention to Iluna. The problem is, Nijisanji misunderstood their audience, thinking the EN fanbase at the time would care about more female talents. Xsoleil's numbers weren’t terrible, but they marked the beginning of the decline, and Zaion later revealed that management considered their debut a failure. This likely led to Kriris being an attempt to shift the focus back toward male focused waves and try to appease chinese fans
That obviously didn’t work, which led to TTT and Denauth as attempts to pivot away from the fujoshi focused direction, but by that point, it was already too late
