My win rate with the main line KID is absolutely abysmal.
As white, when facing the main line KID, my win rate is absolutely terrible. I only do well if I play a London system set up. I have tried various variations: Averbakh, Semi-Averbakh, Makagonov, and Samisch.
I do terribly in all of them. Here is my most recent Lichess45 league game using the Semi-Averbakh variation. I won, but only because I played hope chess and my opponent blundered. https://lichess.org/j4SM6rAZQy33
I'm assuming the answer to immediately resolve my problems is to play the fianchetto variation, but I don't want to give up. I want to get better, I don't want to immediately give up the advantage, even if this is psychologically what KID players hate.
I'm 1150ish Chesscom rapid on my main, and about 1250 on my alt (I haven't lost a game though on my alt). On Lichess Classical I'm 1560ish.
I would appreciate any tips, seriously. I hate facing it and I want to get better. Normally, I'm a Queen's Gambit player. If my opponent replies d5, I have a 60% win rate. I actually have a positive win rate against every reply to d4 besides Nf6 and the immediate g6 (discarding random stuff 1.. h6 or 1.. a6.

EDIT: One important add on: if they play d6 before g6, I have about a 50% win rate in 12 games. That still makes the overall win rate negative, but not quite so bad. Here is a similar picture, using the other move order. https://imgur.com/1e189bd5-08a3-4388-a5dc-94c78ea92cf8
