A Few Words About the Annual Ranking

I'd like to say a few words about today's Annual Ranking event. This won't affect your reading of the main text, so readers who aren't interested can skip it.

The update will still be at 6 PM today, so that won't affect anything.

The following are my personal thoughts on this Annual Ranking.

Generally speaking, the Annual Ranking is the ranking of monthly votes throughout the year. Whoever has the most monthly votes is the default number one on the Annual Ranking.

Last year, the top monthly vote was for "The Da Feng Watchmen" with over a million votes, while my "The Naming of the Night" came in second with nearly a million votes.

Therefore, I believe that the Da Feng Watchmen is the undisputed number one on the Annual Ranking.

Now, Qidian has launched an event to reclaim the top spot on the Annual Ranking, but I think this event is completely unnecessary.

There are three reasons. First, it adjusted last year's monthly vote count, reducing Da Feng's total of over one million votes to a quarter of 260,000 votes, thus narrowing the gap between him and everyone else.

I have discussed this with Qidian before, and many authors are aware of it as well. The goal is to maintain Da Feng's advantage, but Qidian has still narrowed the gap between all works and Da Feng before.

Secondly, Da Feng has already ended. As we all know, after it ends, fans will go to watch other works, so its ability to compete for rankings will be weakened.

Third, the Annual Ranking should be defined by the total number of votes throughout the year. Adding an extra activity is unnecessary and will reduce the credibility of the ranking.

I admit that this rule gives me a huge advantage because I am second, and I am the closest to first place, with a difference of only 30,000 votes.

However, I have always been realistic in my pursuit of rankings. If I want to be number one in the Annual Ranking, I will work hard to achieve it. I want to be number one in the Annual Ranking, but I will not steal it.

Therefore, I cannot ask readers who participated in this Annual Ranking vote to vote for anyone, because it is your freedom to vote for whomever you choose. However, I sincerely hope that readers of Night can vote for Da Feng.

"Life should be like a candle, burning from beginning to end, always shining brightly."

I wrote that sentence, and I did it.

I live an upright life and don't want to become a laughing stock because of an event.

We also don't want the credibility of the Qidian rankings to become a laughing stock.

Grateful.

Thank you again.
