First, let me report last month's Category Chart ranking—that is, the ranking as of yesterday, the final day of April.
Unfortunately, we failed to squeeze into the top six and ended up in seventh place.
So, how many votes were we short of sixth place?
48 votes!
With the double-ticket event, that meant just 24 tickets would have solved it!
My heart hurts so much I can barely breathe!
So please, don't tell me anyone forgot to vote at a time like this.
Otherwise, I really might do something rash. (Crying)
Still, I know it wasn't because you guys didn't try hard enough. It's because every Science Fiction author has been cheating lately.
Even without counting the double-ticket factor, the votes we got this month would have securely placed us fourth before March, or even pushed us into the top three.
However, a lot of good Science Fiction novels have appeared recently, and the competition suddenly became much fiercer.
So of course Ru Qing felt unwilling to accept it.
After all, it was only a few dozen votes. With how supportive you all are, that could have been settled in ten minutes.
At least I should be glad that it wasn't like last time, when we were only one vote short.
Back then, Ru Qing beat my chest and stomped my feet in regret, and I nearly had thoughts of ending it all.
But no matter how unwilling I am, April is over, and May has now arrived.
May still has double monthly tickets!
And they will remain doubled all the way through the seventh!
Therefore, friends, if you have tickets right now, Ru Qing sincerely hopes you can vote for this book!
As the only Otaku Literature novel left that can still contend for the glory of the charts,
