Also what will the artuor do because we are getting closer to the end of the SAO Web Novel now that we are two book into the second half of the Alicization Arc.

Sorry; dynamic content not loaded. Reload?
  • I'm surprised Index managed to stay in the top 10 this year. This year (NT11-13) was a comparatively cold year for the franchise. Reception for those novels was far more mixed compared to NT8-10. Kamachi seems to struggle with keeping the momentum gained from the end of a long story arc. But if Index is 7th, what happened to Mahouka/Danmachi/NGNL/Overlord/Rokka?
  • <deadpan voice>Yeah. Misaka is 1st place again...</deadpan voice>
  • First time in a while that Index stays in the top 10 for 2 years in a row.
  • Othinus stays in the top 10!
  • NT11 didn't help Shokuhou?
  • Kamijou proving his consistent popularity again with 3rd place. Beaten only by anime-boosted characters (minus HachiMAN).
  • Also Accelerator didn't even have an appearance this year, just a namedrop. What's he doing there? No love for Hamazura?
  • Haimura placing second isn't too surprising either.

All in all, good placings for Index considering how the novels this year were.

NT11 was released a while ago so I'm not surprised it didn't do much even though its reception was quite good. Really not sure how Accelerator got there, lol.

Curious where they ended up on the overall ranking.

Index is a thing of the past, I don't even follow it anymore for the last 3 years or so I honestly don't believe there can be 'quality' with so many simultaneous titles and at such a fast schedule.
Anyway, I can't seem to follow long series these days. Other things demand my attention. Only Daiden is the exception, with sporadic releases, and I can read a volume in well under 3 hours normally.

Whether I give it a chance or not, depends on what kind of comments appear in the mag

Well despite what we may feel, the current 'in' thing right now is that particular type of wish fulfillment fantasy, it's partly why Mahouka, Overlord and Gate is as big as they are.

On hindsight, Kirito isn't really as bad.

EDIT: IMO that is

This is not with reference to any specific title, but just saying this here for now, before we see massive derailing take place.

I think it's fine to comment on impressions and form own opinions based on either facts or just hearsay.

But be careful of making an impression and opinion sound like a factual assertion, especially about a series which one does not have intimate factual knowledge outside of anime, summaries, and spoilers. Interpretations of course may differ. But strong assertions may attracted unwanted derailing. Just saying

I feel it's apt to say this because this is a thread purely about light novels after all

Seems like they really did it, and supported Alderamin as well? Very good job from them. That's for things like that I appreciate that ranking compared to the full popularity oriented ones.
That's the only time when what I like ranks well after all

To answer the three above, I feel the same about MF bunko J as you, but the last time they gave their support to a MF bunko J title (last year) , that was for Zetsushinkai no Solaris. And Zetsushinkai no Solaris is definitely VERY different from the usual MF bunko J title. And while I don't think it deserved as much support from the collaborator as it did (but then again imo last year was very very poor in new good works so they didn't had a lot of choice either ?) it's pretty fine, and I don't regret buying and reading it. Especially the second volume was quite promising compared to the first one (although they ranked it for the first volume last year, and it seems like they aren't supporting it this year even though the second volume was better. Well, this year has titles like shuumatsuna, so it can't be helped). So while I usually avoid MF bunko J titles, I would be cautious before rejecting something from that label if it's pushed by the collaborators. I think that on the contrary, when they find something very different in a specialised label like that, ti's also part of their job to attract the attention of the readers, basically saying "ey look, this one is different so don't avoid it just because of the specialized label".

I disagree. Anyone can take the stats from the voters and make that ranking anyway since they release the different stats. A popularity only would be as boring as the character popularity polls here. Who would want that? We already have that kind of stuff everywhere anyway. The whole point of having the voters have their favourite work compete directly with the works pushed by the collaborators is that those works will get far more attention from the public by competing with the popular title directly than having a separate poll.
Also, I don't know about Eirun, but do you have any better new title to push than shuumatsuna in mind? If so that I'd like to hear it. Because AFAIK, they did very well. And pushing Alderamin is defintiely not wrong either.

i'd really love for some hamazura representation; but it really seems he doesn't mix well with the japanese audience i.e. hamazura as a character seems to be the exact opposite of kirito and similarly the popularity seems to be polarised (i'll have to use the kirito comparision more often; it's actually pretty spot on)

i second that. speaking of gary stu; has tatsuya shibas rank shown up yet? he was close to being veto'd out of the top ten last year at 5th best male and 9th best character.

Gamers in top 4 for new series it seems. Woohoo.
I'd bet Ireba is probably strong in comedy, but the word imouto and given how Haganai turned out, it's pushing me away.

wow, I didn't know that Hachiman is more popular than Mikoto-cult.

is Sakuta Azusagawa a trap? I can only vaguely saw a female? character there.
