Complaining about review count, in any fandom, is just bad form, IMO. No one is obligated to review anything, really.
That having been said, it seems to me like there are a lot of factors that go into getting reviews or not getting them. Shorter stories are more likely to get a lot of attention than really long ones (just in terms of oneshots). Popular games (FE7, FE9/10) will probably get more than others. And then, popular character/pairings will draw more people in. It also seems to me like romance stories are really popular.

Like, in my own work? "The Essence of Wisdom" is really one of my favorite fics I've written. Compare that (not really popular game, unpopular character) with something I've written about a really popular guy like Lucius, and it's clear which one gets more hits and reviews.

But writing quality? Doesn't often factor in. Look at all the shitty fics that have huge review counts. Often those reviews are something like "waaa so cute" or "I like ur OC" or whatever. Whereas the smaller stories often have more in-depth, thoughtful reviews and followers - particularly the ones for smaller fanbases and odd characters.

TL;DR: Reviews are nice, but the number you get really means jack-diddly about your writing.
