I have tried and it can be challenging to navigate the surplus of tools and feature sets of all.

Since it is short, I'd like to answer your second question first.
"Which one is most popular among creator?" -> Unity, statistically speaking

There are various YouTube videos covering different beginner friendly engines. I would advice you check a few out and see which one floats your boat, especially considering their limitation / pricing / complexity / etc..

To name a few (order just alphabetical):
- GameMaker
- Godot
- PyGame
- Ren'Py
- RPG Maker
- Unity

Pic one, play around with them in their beginner tutorials and try to make something. You might soon figure out what you like and dislike to do or use.

Edit:
My personal recommendation for simple and 2D game development would be PyGame and GameMaker.

Depends on your goals and how committed you're to learn

If you want to make a simple porn game choose RenPy and call it a day. The simplest one to get straight to development

If you want to make more of an action-ish 2D game and willing to spend some time, depending on how fast you learn and how stupid you are then "Game Maker: Studio" is actually a nice option that is easy enough to start and opens a lot of possibilities

If you wanna make a career out of it go with Unity 100%, nothing more to add here. It will take the most time out of three but yield the most results, but is not worth it if you just wanna start making simple enough 2d porn games

-----
I do not recommend Unreal Engine under no circumstances, this one will be the hardest to learn and is pretty niche, used only for relatively big 3D projects, including AAA. And I didn't even see so many job applications for that compared to Unity

RPGM is just trash

As for most popular for porn games it is definitely RenPy. Simple, approachable and suitable for porn games

Most popular overall is Unity

Picking a game engine is the third step (Brainstorming and GDD being the first two), by the time you actually need to pick a game engine, you'll know. Don't skip ahead
