You're right, fixed now.

The fact that Accelerator is number 3 in the list despite not having a major role in long time in the LN is pretty impressive must be the effects of the Accelerator manga spin off at work

[belatkuro]

Do we have the breakdown of the votes by HP, collab and monitors? I'd like to see which ones affected the rankings of the series.

[Kuroageha]

Maybe larethian has that info?

[Hiss13]

Surprised to see Blood Sign stuff at the top 10. Definitely need to catch up on that.

Though, Accelerator staying at #3 despite only having maybe two scenes in the LNs in the past two years is quite amusing.

[IceHism]

Feels like 2016 has been a rather slow year for LNs.

Also wtf that book ranking.

[Hell_ping]

Death, taxes and Mikoto coming in first

[OH&S]

These results are rigged I say. Why is Toaru still in the Top 10!?

[Kuroageha]

^
Said no one ever, welcome to the marketing and publicity industry.

[bakato]

This for real? Toaru has taken its rightful place over SAO in all categories! Hallelujah!

[Wandering Soul]

I'm just surprised to see that Blood Sign and some of their characters made it into the top 10.

[Kenju of the Right]

Amazing Kamijou-san, doesnt even have an anime and made it to #1. greatness in motion

[Marcus H.]

Two words to describe this: ENDURING DOMINATION.

[belatkuro]

So no monitor votes? Why? Though that explains why Ryuuou got 1st since it got a lot of collab votes. Index is all HP votes and no collab.

What are those numbers(345/130) for the characters?

And why is Yahari not there? Is it because it didn't release a volume this year?

[Hell_ping]

I think the monitor votes got combined into the collab vote this year.

To quote myself (For those who don't know how the scoring works)

総合 in this case is the combined total. Since 2011 to 2016, the total would contain three segments, but this year, it contains only two. There also used to be a 'monitor' points

HP is the public vote, fan voting from the readers, tabulated together. Series with huge fan popularity typically score well for this, like Index, SAO, but for some reason, Oregairu isn't in this vote.

協力者 is the collab vote. It used to be in two different categories, a 協力者 with different definitions, and a monitor vote. This time, the votes are combined together. Such votes are usually from those in the industry, like fellow authors, promotional staff, or those looking to adapt series. Series like Alderamin and Rokka in the past used to gain lots of votes under these categories, partially to increase the exposure.

For the characters, the first number refers to the total voting points. The second number refers to the total number of votes. (I couldn't see the figures clearly though)

Oregairu doesn't get a mention because there's no volume release this year.

[Sacredus]

Any chances for full characters ratings? Or this time they went with just 10 places instead of usual 30?

...

45. Tokyo Shiniki: Closed Eden (Tokyo Inroaded: Closed Eden)

These three stood out to me!

45 for obvious reason, but I do believe #33 got several reprints and was generally "received very well". This sold like 500 copies from a single shop at one point, which is pretty big I think. Is this really a light novel though, kinda hilarious cause there is this too.


I actually really wanted to read Babylon since the writer is Nozaki Mado (he is scripting an original anime for next year!!! HYPE), who's very awesome. Once again, however, is anything from Kodansha Taiga consider LN??? The stunning covers (imho) sparked my interest no doubt, and the description is fascinating.

Somewhat related, too bad Undead Girl Murder Farce isn't shown anywhere (recently adapted to a manga). Would've been fun to see that on the list. Can see the volume 2 cover on the top left corner here.

Overall, the list is whatever, but just (pleasantly ... maybe) surprised to see these titles.

Further to the posted results, I thought it would be interesting to see how the Top 50 ranked when ordered by their HP and Collab points

Original rankings are in parentheses.

TL;DR…

Top 50 list ranked by their HP votes
