Hey dear, I understood the issue about Popular Newcomer now

I found the answer from this bug thread. Based on @tribal prairie 's explanation here: https://discord.com/channels/623097219628662784/1177944634509492244

the category of 25 NPCs with 5 hearts refers to ONLY ROMANCEABLE characters. I checked mine and it's true Nina was still 4 hearts, yesterday my town rank raised up to B Rank, so I got one more heart for Nina, suddenly the 'Popular Newcomer' achievement was completed.

so the category of 25 NPCs doesn't refer to villagers which makes big confusion for players.

It will be nice if you guys can fix the information by adding further explanation about it.

this is also sensible based on the explanation above. Thanks Supernatantem, Vivek, and Dinda
