First, Council-Advent gap is abnormally long. Myth-Council is a lot closer to what Holo usually does. But if you count Irys, I'm not sure. Maybe it would've been better to roll them out together and let her be sixth ranger from the start to avoid splitting attention?
Second, a lot of it is factors outside of girls' control: YT culls, debut fuckup with delay
probably why they stopped doing relays continuing covid restrictions which prevented Myth and later Council from properly getting involved with company-wide activities which needed them in Japan, seemingly much more restrictive management
Remember potato history and Civ perms for Moom?, overreliance on chuuni lore, the whole omega thing which all kneecapped their initial growth. Don't get me started on whatever the fuck Irys' management is doing.
Third, I get the feeling management is a lot more lax for advent which helps greatly with initial impression and discussion. Shiori captures audience by being an absolutely unapologetic weirdo talking about cannibalism on her first stream, Nerissa has great voice, is a huge idol/holo fan and is extremely horny
I didn't watch Bijou's vods yet so I don't know how she is, twins are amazing at playing super cute dog twins.
