For all the album that is released in this year (any genre), it ranks #77
I think rate your music only puts an album to chart after a day, so this is the initial placement, and since rateyourmusic's chart position also has to do with the number of ratings, and many albums before blue valentine has lower actual scores, so as time goes by I think we would see the rank go up.
But also no need to rush into this site to add high ratings, because they weight active users's ratings a lot more, so I guess it is time to see how this album holds in this audience with quite extreme and particular taste, since most of the highest ranked albums have tags like "art rock" or "experimental metal" or "conscious rap", and most of the highest rate kpop albums are all like released about 10 years ago and mostly in synthpop and city pop category.

Well done NMIXX!
Also, I love that RMT rates Dress to Kill so highly. It’s a fantastic album, Heaven and Shh two of the best Japanese releases of any Korean act.
Yeah I think your last paragraph is most accurate, I’ve been on RYM for a while and it’s a pretty predictable pattern: album gets very highly rated by fans -> album hits the weekly RYM chart and gets seen by the general RYM audience -> a more general audience brings the avg rating down. There’s no telling how much it will go down but it happened to Forward as well and that’s NMIXX’s most “RYM bait” album imo, lol.
Still an awesome start though, most Kpop absolutely hovers around 2.5-3.0 even to begin with.
