Amazing Ranking, thank you for compiling this data for everyone here in this small community!
To continue off what Mike.Ross80 said, if this ranking is used from tier lists from different times in this thread's history(I know of 3 massive times this threads gone into best girl tier list ranking) taken into count, we can not only view this as a ranking of the most popular characters in F95zone, but also a possibility ranking of the most popular Lesson in Love events in F95zone.
This could explain why the confusion people had with Uta and other characters being ranked so high. I believe the selection bias in this game is very difficult to remove, as it is a ongoing game with a continuing narrative and with plenty of character events to still be played out. From what I'm seeing, people have really enjoy Rin and Yumi's events with other character thought to be unpopular rising up the ranks due to their events and how they're being written into the story being more and more enjoyable to read through, or more spine-chilling to read.
Of course I'm not 100% sure of this, as I'm couldn't be sure how Touka and Sara would be ranked so high if it wasn't for the community really liking the characters, their events, and their designs(Big fan of Touka myself).
Someone else smarter than me could probably figure out that out and poke holes in what I mentioned but it's a interesting thought that might lead to the discussion of the recent quality of characters events to hold us over until D-Day.
The only thing I couldn't confirm is how old the tier list data is, it seems like it's been taken over a course of 4-5 months, starting from December 2024.
