Oh you're just baiting, okay. May as well keep talking about why Kazuma's design works anyway to help out other anons lurking.
>Easy to draw for fan art
>Bears similarity to other already existing characters from other franchises (mainly Rance), fitting since they share some character traits
>Can clearly tell he is a fantasy character just from looking at him, meaning people who tune into an episode of Konosuba randomly don't have to read backstory on what's going on
>Mixture of relatable features for self inserting (normal hair colour, scrawny physique) and anime protagonist elements to signify his importance (Bright greens and golds, blue eyes)
There are lots of Vtubers, so it's important to stand out. Character design is actually quite complicated, and requires far more thinking than just picking your favourite colours and clothing you like and slapping it onto an anime boy. Certain anime characters are popular for more reasons than just the cool things they do, so everyone SHOULD be looking to them, or other popular fictional characters, for inspiration. Wear a hoodie if you want, but just don't be suprised when people find your appearance boring.

Keep it interesting friends!

That's healthy to an extent. Getting an idea of what exactly your current audience enjoys about you and your content is great, and getting feedback and ideas for future plans is also good. You should be careful you don't give them too much control though. Catering to your audience is important, but sometimes they might not even show up despite you doing what they wanted, and you stand the chance of alienating new viewers that aren't "in the loop" as long as others. This is why the analytics tools are great, since by views, line graphs and other info you can determine what is and isn't working without directly risking interacting with them.
