Compare to both LLs and even K-On!, where all current members are involved in convincing the new prospect to join.
BanG Dream is more like '00-era galgame adaptions where the MC works on a girl during her arc, and she promptly disappears while he moves on to the next girl. Under the circumstances, that's not good at all.

Yes, that is a key difference between Bang Dream and both Love Lives. Yes, Kasumi does more recruitment
on her own than Honoka/Chika did. You're right about how there can be a downside to this.
Still, I want to see what Poppin' Party is like as a completed group of 5 before I put a lot of weight on this difference. I'm hoping that in-group interactions will be a little more balanced after the full group is formed (i.e. it won't
just be Kasumi and her 4 best friends, it'll be 5 close friends where there's good interactions between either 2 of the 5 or all 5).
