Context: Kei just became declared the new "Queen of Ariake"*, a title that was formerly held by Kashima, with writers and artists just unable to stop churning out doujins of her. Kei, at this year's Summer Comiket, apparently has more doujins than all of Azur Lane combined. It goes to show what kind of a chord Blue Archive and its characters have struck. KanColle skated so that Blue Archive and Umamusume could run.
(*I find it funny given that Kei's schtick was originally supposed to be "Guiding the princess to her throne", turning Arisu into a "queen" of sorts. I guess Kei didn't realize she also had a throne waiting)

I'm still surprised no other character received the title between Kei and Kashima timeline. Like in terms of numbers I would assume BA Yuuka, Asuna, Toki, Mika, Seia or Rio would had achieve similar fame.

I think that's because despite Asuna being the fanart queen of BA it mostly a global phenomena that didn't produce much doujinshi in Japan, it doesn't help that there hasn't been a legit story arc involving Asuna as main character unlike Neru and Toki from C and C.
