I am extremely happy that in a poll ReZero bypassed even such popular titles, even if Rem failed to "win" Misaka. Surprisingly only that Mahouka do not hit the list.

Ryuuou is about Shogi. It has strong backing by GA bunko in a mixed media project with strong star power in its drama CD, and already 2 years old not 1 year mind you guys. It was also ranked last year at 26 iirc. Like Hikaru no go, it also receives professional counsel and editorial supervision from shogi pros. The protag is a 16-year old title holder, the loli is his first disciple. The master-disciple relationship is somewhat modeled after real-life shogi pros, Yonenaga Kunio and Hayashiba Naoko, who also went into apprenticeship in elementary school and lived with her master. Aside from the protag, his ane-deshi (fellow senior female disciple under the same master) is also a title holder. Blah blah blah...


In this case, it is strange that, there is no spokon tag if this is moe-version Hikari no Go

There are some interesting synopsis in the Books section, I might at least try a few of them. Also, that a nice-looking Overlord cover.

As for the other lists, nothing worth of notice.

Ermm... i don't understand why misaka mikoto is still in Number one... The anime ended a long long time ago and there are many character better than misaka


so what? this is kono "LIGHT NOVEL" ranking, not some anime poll. And no characters even come close to Misaka's awesomeness.

Rimuru couldn't win because a slime has no gender.

When was the pole taken? because I don´t believe Rem would have gotten second place if they didn´t take the pole while the anime was airing.
On a side note I have never even heard about half those light novels.

The online part of the poll (which the character rankings is entirely based on) was during September so it started while the anime of Re:Zero was still airing, yes. I very much disagree with your belief, though - Rem is hugely popular and people don't suddenly lose interest in characters after their series' anime adaptation ends.

@daime17 - I'm sure they wouldn't have excluded Rimuru from the male rankings if sufficient people voted for them.

Index sales dropping off into abyss, index ranking goes up to heavens. LOL fuck this, getting tired of misaka up there, to be honest. Some hardcore fans, no?
At least no oregairu this year (which is a bit surprising, to be honest)

SAO dropped to 4th... sigh, Feels like cactus man
Tho I approve ReZero, Mushoku sensei, gamers and konosuba right there

Oh, also no "New works" ranking this year?

No volumes released in the year so not eligible.

@Snow

The link for *8. Emilia (Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu)

is linked to Rem. Just a minor correction to point. Hope you don't mind me.

Best Male characters Top 10

10位:Kyousuke from Blood Sign

Best female top 10

7位:White Queen


NICE

They ranked despite not having an anime, manga and close to none advertisement outside a few crossover novels.
The Queen is unstoppable.

@starlessn1ght - they are light novels. The "books" ranking is a new ranking this year which seems to be of series that are not bunkobon releases, some of which weren't previously eligible (but got in the character rankings sometimes anyway). I'll be able to confirm when I receive my copy if noone else has beforehand. I use a slow postage method though so don't expect it for a while yet.


Please mention me when you confirm it.


@starlessn1ght -
Confirmed

They sure do like SAO don't they? How could Kirito be ranked so high on best male character? He's so flat.

because alot of fans i guess?
He also got alot of boost from novel,game,and recent movies.

Meanwhile Index still owning year after year despite not having adaptation for years.

Not sure why people fighting rem is the best female characters.

Misaka mikoto have his own Story and been supporting in Index novel for years, Railgun even got novel adaptation announcements few days ago.
I am not sure why Touma could reach up there too, but they're original characters and they're not overpowered or flat.
Same thing to Accelerator which even get his own Manga about his own stories.

Meanwhile Rem is a Main character, good progress, dumped for plot, become like a side character, in a repeating cycle of story.

If theres something that should amaze you then it must be how the hell To Aru Majutsu got top 10 years after years with the same character (sometimes new characters pop up), despite having lower fanbase compared other LN?
and heck anime adaptation was 6 years ago and they're still up there.
