Second year without Mikoto Misaka in the top 10. I suppose after 9 years of dominance, her era is finally over.

In other words, that's why SAO and Oregairu and other really popular works aren't always at the top of the list, with Oregairu, for example, getting 1st three years in a row. Basically it's to give the spotlight to new works instead of the most popular novels constantly placing high

There is a clear contrast between the LN and how the anime perceived Ayanokouji as a student and as a character. The first anime adaptation already established him as a manipulator and as somewhat of a God. Yet in the LN, it's depicted him more so as socially awkward and just not really caring much around him. Well, this at some point where things escalated.
I still hold my views on him today when I finished reading y1 and I will continue to do so until I get caught up in the LN. The thing is, the anime, I feel like tended to the audience, as we all know who is he actually so that's prolly why. He is not Onii-sama tho so ehhh no.

Ayanokoji being the best male character for like the 4th year now?
It seems so. What people like in him I wonder.

Also COTE, Bookworm and Chitose have entered the Hall of Fame, which means they won't appear in the next Konorano rankings
What does this mean? I don't know this Hall of Fame thing, can you explain it?

Also nice to see Chiramune in #2 and also raemz, it's pretty nice that an American illustrator can be this popular.

But this is only amongst the 14 years olds right ?
I think not only among them, there is wider range of ages.

Kei Karuizawa ranked higher than Vladilena Milizé. Did something happened in 86 ln that led to her low ranking (I am COTE LN enjoyer)
I think it's just YouJitsu being more popular than 86.

Second year without Mikoto Misaka in the top 10. I suppose after 9 years of dominance, her era is finally over.
For instance, Yukino is still in current list despite Oregairu being in HoF.
Not sure though.
