She is counted as one of the Vocaloids whose vocal fell into the infamous "Vocaloid3 same voice type" situation. Plus was competing with VY1v3 and V3 Megpoid. I barely count SeeU as the Japanese didn't buy into her due to political related discrimination, the air between the Koreas and Japan has not always been clear, nor has it between the 3 countries and China either. So you get complications.

Regardless, the trouble with Mew was... Well... We already had Vocals like her and there wasn't much distinguishing her from other similar vocals. Talking about this problem now is sad because in addition to the sheer number of realises early V3, there is a lot of winners and loosers during the V3 engine. But long story short, a lot of things Mew can do, other Vocaloids can do but better, as is always the case, and you have several vocals as an alternative.

Also at this stage, your likely better off with a V4 or V5. We don't know how long the V3 engines going to be around for while the V4 and V5 vocals have a longer life expectancy. It could be V3 is around only for 2 more years, or even 6, we don't know when support for V3 will end. Luckily the only idea that it may take longer then V1 and V2, is that overall V4 and V5 vocals are not *all* that different. Recording style changed to combat the "same-y" vocal problem and of course technology has moved on, so has experience, etc. So V4 and V5 vocaloids are slightly better then the V3 range.

Its really hard to know what the future holds, but Mew was geared more for specialised producers overall and was semi-difficult to use.
