To put in context the 3% (or 4% as it is now) for Kim: that's the percentage of players that chose her as the girl they're falling for. Given the relatively few interactions the MC has had with Kim so far, for most players choosing her for this would be too much of a leap. But in the poll asking who the favorite LIs are, Kim has about 13% of the vote, roughly as much as Olivia, Jen and Lea.
"When you are an Adult, nobody cares anymore which Dinosaur is your favorite."
With other words, such polls are enjoyable with care.
Sometimes the votes are meant as wishes. Example: I vote for Kim yes we haven't seen anything from her yet, but I like Asian women and I wish for more.
That's why she is falling down when it comes to which one LI is the one and only.
I can't understand that Emma got so much votes. Her last spicy scene I can remember was in update two, I guess. But I think I am on a route where she is pretty much not existent anymore, and I don't know why. I have not witnessed the poker game with her.
But I am I and nobody cares which Dinosaur is my favorite today.
You're not wrong, absolutely not. But that poll is fun and in this case an indicator for thing which maybe need to improve. Bri as an Example. In my Opinion, Kim. 3 and/or 4% indicates a bad balance.
But don't believe Kim is super-duper loved from everybody. The Dev from "How to save the Future" did make a poll every month which one is the favorite girl. This girl gets a Wallpaper. There are 10 Li. One of them Trans. This Trans character one every single vote. No other stands a chance. Until the dev said half a year later that this character deserves a pause. This Character has 2 minutes screen time.
Take the polls as fun, but don't emphasize too much in them.
Alosaurus Jimmadseni anybody?
