Does anyone have a simple way to do retopology?
No matter how many times I try, I just can't get it right.

Don't just think about it in terms of too many or too few. Those things happen in a context. Are you not getting details where you want them? Are you seeking to animate? is the performance poor? What are you aiming to do?

I just glanced over vseeface document and it looks like all it needs is for you to have all the properly named blend shapes. In that case, it's up to you to sculpt your blendshapes in a way that makes whatever janky topology you're using look right.
We can't see the edge flow on a shaded model, so we can't give you any advice on it. MY general blendshape advice is to make sure they look right. If it doesnt look right, go back and fix that part. Do whatever it takes to make that expression/etc look right. It's not dynamic. You get to put every vert where it needs to be. So use that power.

I'm willing to bet you could fix your model by going in and avoiding subdiv modifiers until you actually nail the shapes. You have some clear features like the hips and navel but they aren't built around an understanding of the muscles underneath the skin. Do an A pose for better shoulder deformations and definitely revisit that tube tail it needs a little fattiness towards the bottom as gravity naturally pulls the meat downwards into a sort of eggy ellipse shape. It's not a bad start, spend some time with anatomy and topology, I recommend a washable marker and drawing on your own body if you want to start understanding loops better and how you should be solving for them. You can also look at other people's models in 3d wireframe but that's like feeding an AI more AI, you should be getting your references right from the source.
You're doing pretty good though definitely better than where I was at when I started
