When it comes to a High Fantasy setting, which FMC species shines best? (think popularity and reader base)

If its not romance then dragon girls because vixens rely on charm and cuteness and that doesnt fit in a non romance story. Also dragons as reptiles have much more variable forms and adaptations for evolution and progress than fox girls which will only get more tails usually. Also you can easily create more lore around a dragon family in a high fantasy world being ancient rulers than foxes. But anyways this entire thing feels kind of dumb. Do you think youre suddenly going to get a popular book by aplying these things you ask in a poll or something? Whats even the point of this.

The shape-shifting aspect is pretty solid too for fox girls. I already have one in one of my books, but she doesn't shape shift for obvious

The reason is to gauge hook variables. My original idea was goblin, but I couldn't find any goblin FMC's in high fantasy. I wanted to know why. They just aren't popular (unless we are talking harem). Usually, I write what I want to read, and haven't dabbled in the art of 'marketing', hence, the polls. And even with the results between light novels, YT, and web novels forums, I couldn't find any consistencies.

I had to look it up. Damn, what a following! I also appreciate the premise.

I have considered writing a goblin girl story, and yeah it is not explored that much compared to dragon or fox. Though I write for fun, so I usually write whatever I want. The most popular feMC are always humans though.

I tried reading it, but the overly descriptive writing style bored me so I've skimmed through it. But I know she has powers of Beauty Magic and Fairies, and also she became blind but somehow became super strong because of that. Most of her powers are based in the world's setting and not because she's a fox though. Also I dont think it's a monster evolution-type story like I was talking about.

Goblins are kind of complicated - do you mean the D&D "little, vicious humanoids" or the Warhammer "Smaller, *slightly* smarter orks", or the "less attractive fairies, who usually have a shoe fetish of sorts" of many European myths, or the weird little creatures who manage the finances of Harry Potter's universe?
Heck, I've seen goblin stats in three different games that were wildly different: Pathfinder built on the D&D type but made them darkly comic creatures; another game, one of the "Storyteller" ones had them as one of the clans of the Fae with abilities more suited to hiding, stealing, sneaking than anything else; another that was in playtest (and, to my knowledge, was never published) had them as just smaller, more fragile human-types who are used to living on refuse so are nearly immune to poison and disease as a result (mine was a psychic, to add to the chaos).

Def the latter. Playful and mischievous

Kitsune is majorly over rated

Foxgirl is the best by far because fluffy tail. Bonus points if it is big enough for them to hug, because that makes them even cuter.

I want a Mizutsune girl.
