They appease the parents with values, customs, respect for elders and authorities and simple yet affordable and beautiful decorations. Most conflicts end in 1 episode with a few pushed to the second and third. Characters like Erika, Miyuki and Reika are pretty popular because they likable, goofy and very friendly, something little girls can relate to. I'm aware of that and that is true, however, from what I've seen in the past years of Precure, they are able to handle great topics for each character's development on each season. The main reason why Precure is popular is because on how far a magical genre can go for to teach valuable lessons for young kids and without proper development, it wouldn't make sense in a way from the way we older fans see despite its younger audience.

The characters you mentioned, have gone through great development or have given a screentime for them to become memorable or captivating in a way to show their character. The main reason why I think the characters in Star Twinkle are okay and not over the top is because of the season's flaw, its writing. Although it is organized and doesn't feel rushed, the writing is so slow that the way they handled the main characters seemed very underdeveloped despite them being likeable at first start. At the moment, Yuni, Madoka and Hikaru are easy to say the best developed among the main five. Although she gets a lot screen time, Lala’s development is very little and Elena is basically a side character at this point. I agree with you for the most part, though I fee like Lala and Madoka have equal development.

I've mentioned before, I agree with Cloverheart with regards to the writing. Right now, I feel the same way I felt about Maho: It's only fine. Hopefully my opinion will change.
