Edgier concepts: Design-wise Noctyx they all look like part of a fantasy paintball league and generally more sharper lining (literally edgy). In terms of kayfabe they're all urban-fantasy rather than luxiem's mostly mystical appeal, shouldn't have to explain why fantasy concepts are less edgy than realism.
Agreed about ignoring past lives, but if the past life has something too negative about it, it's impossible to ignore that attention. Vox and Ike at least have plausible deniability, Sonny self-admitted what they did.
I'm not saying Yugo can't succeed, but it doesn't change the fact their mere existence is a controversy and will be a permanent part of the fandom's identity. Growth doesn't prove it still isn't alienating.
The lack of knock-on subscribers from Luxiem is what stands out to me too. Luxiem should still have a relatively active viewership since it's not been long since their debut, it's not like council where a year of fans dropped off from keeping up to date with Myth. Not to mention this is supposed to be an untapped market who would be new and excited for more additions, it wouldn't feel saturated like when the 3rd gen of Niji girls got announced. That says to me that whatever was appealing about Luxiem isn't there in the fan's eyes for Noctyx and existing Niji fans can tell that aside from the song talents, this wave is being too offputting.
