man....chitose on top?
really?
Unlike other categories, in bunkobon/tankobon there is another category of poll besides readers poll. That is publishers'/critics poll which has higher weightage than readers poll. For example COTE won in readers poll back to back but lost in critics poll. Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter Agent wasn't even in top 50 in readers poll but placed #2 because nearly entire of critics poll was concentrated on it. Ultimately the poll result is based on both readers and critics poll with the latter deciding the result generally.
Talking about dark side, the rankings for novels follow an obnoxious pattern: The recent trend (since 2018) in Kono Sugoi is to put newer novels at top hence resulting in Chitose-kun at top. Also it depends on how much promotion authors do on twitter handle to promote Kono Sugoi. In this regard, Kinusaga is a Chad man: he doesn't promote them on his twitter account (hence the critic vote of 0.0 this year) and he doesn't care about rankings either since COTE is immensely popular and always make it to top charts. Only upcoming novels who have yet to get wide readership bother to go with this farce to increase their readers.

Cote is certainly awesome.
