User blog:Herald of meridian/Kono Light Novel ga Sugoi 2014 Ranking Results Revealed!

Kono Light Novel ga Sugoi! is an annual light novel guidebook where various light novel series from different publishers and imprints are ranked according to popularity in different aspects, from individual series to characters by gender. I had previous blogged about the 2011 leg of this popularity ranking when Toaru Majutsu no Index received the #1 spot in the series category, with eight of the characters from the light novel series (four males and four females) reaching the Top 30 and the illustrator Haimura Kiyotaka receiving the top spot for the illustrator category.

And... let's just say that some rankings have changed over time, it didn't succeed in toppling down the supremacy of the Toaru Majutsu no Index light novel series in the ''Kono Light Novel ga Sugoi! ''rankings!
