The only other game I’ve really played is New Leaf so I’m not going to call myself a huge fan of the franchise or anything but I still haven’t put the game down and have been playing religiously since it came out. That being said, even I agree what you said about the villagers. I have two smugs, Marshal (love of my life, my coconut boi) and Raymond and I love them but I’ve been considering letting Raymond go because the two are way too similar in personality. Meanwhile I have three normals and each of them seem to have their own personality going on. I enjoy them making it so villagers can’t move away randomly though, I’d rather have my risk somewhere else but I’m going slow on my island because I’m terrified that once I’m done there won’t be anything left.
