A typical game among these

≈ 1.1M–1.8M copies

≈ $6.2M–$7.8M after Steam's cut

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Anime (8 of 8) and Dating Sim (7 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Sexual Content + Nudity, priced around $2. The breakout hits carry Female Protagonist + NSFW + Match 3; a typical game here doesn't.

Copies come from each game's reviews times a sales-per-review rate that falls with release age, from about 31 for the most recent game here to about 70 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
