Yeah, SDM effect is creeping in. Old established factions are still on the rise while new additions can't get enough traction because they don't have enough fanwork/their character traits don't stand out compared to the old guard (Clover and Barrenwort compared to Lavender and Convallaria, Tritonia's squad compared to Acacia's, the ultimate quartet of Flowering Peach/Viola/Daisy/Nerine that defined the game compared to follow-up lolis who remain popular but not overwhelmingly so). Old characters are revisited via bloom art/new versions too, so they aren't forgotten in favor of the greenhorns.

There are still a few strong names, though. Barley, Wheat, Sedum, Rainbow Rose and all of yuui's new girls made a huge splash and have a good shot at winning the newcomer rankings, I'll be rooting for Barley for obvious reasons. Given that all the popular girls are on the higher side of the hopes and dreams scale, it seems 2019 may be the year FKG throws off the yoke of lolicon pandering and becomes the busty onee-san game it was always meant to be.
