User blog comment:Mroddy/Zactastic Character Rankings/@comment-3350823-20180103084458

I wanted to make a comment and formally thank you for the rankings <3 This update was amazing and a real surprise!

I honestly don't know if your opinion on Seraphina is weird or not. I mean, I know why I like writing her but as for opinions. I think Mana likes her, but I'm not sure who his faves at the moment are. I swear I had a list of all my main reader's faves but I can't find it. Oops... But most people haven't given a clear opinion on where she falls. That's why rankings can be so helpful! Obviously, I don't want everyone to make a list, but knowing who stands out and whose faulting is always helpful to know who is working and who needs improvement. (Part of a debate I'm having with who gets a userbox is between two characters for the last slot).

I think Pascal's reason for being liked is that he's a villain. Villains do have a certain popularity, as my current Avatar shows :p (ATM it's Blaineley and Heather, the real heroes of TDWT). I think the specific appeal to Pascal is that he's a comedic villain, particularly a failure villain. It's similar to Max from TDPI's popularity. Although besides Toad, I'm not sure he's one of the most popular characters either. I do say that one thing I like about the varying opinions in my readers' interests; it means I generally get to enjoy someone's reaction with who I eliminate >:)

Retweeting all the truth about Cynthia <3 She was one of my faves. I think her elimination shows just how painful the merge may get. She even managed to knock out your boyfriend! #ThePowerofCynthia (also looking at your rankings, I realize you always have a somewhat random early out as a fave. I can't judge cause I do the same twinnie, I just realized that who Hayden is xD).

Seriously though, I'm glad you enjoyed Cynthia and found her unique! Nice to know I succeeded with her.

I wanted to expand on this more when I finish the story and do a Let's Talk, but I think you hit one of the things I've noticed about Lita. Although, I think it's funny you don't like her know because she has no spice xD You didn't like her with spice :p Still, I agree that last chapter she was more invisible simply because so much was going on. Hopefully we'll seem some more of that fire in her next chapter. Maybe more Lita vs Vance?

It's kind of weird Melissa is so high when she seems like one of your less faves, though seems like you like her. I suppose it's because of her bigger role last chapter than Tessa and Diamonique. Also don't worry, more of these two next chapter...

I will say I do have some plot ideas for Melissa and she has a purpose to me. Whether it'll make her better or not I don't know. Melissa, and a few other characters, have some plot points from a few chapters ago that are coming back up. It's been awhile though, so hopefully when it happens it'll jog your memory...

Lol, I don't know if I wrote Kalino any different than I usually did. I mean, he didn't do much strategizing (or did he?), but generally try to have him act the same. *Shrugs* Maybe he was more energized? Maybe just anyone looks better next to his sister. We'll find out. I definitely agree that he probably won't stay there for long...

Vance's story kind of has/hasn't kicked off? Does he even have a story? You're definitely on the mark. His plot has mostly been with Xidorn, them becoming friends and Vance admitting to not knowing how to read. We should get some more on that soon...

These top three really surprised me! Neither Weston or Riley for the top spot? SHOOK

I'm glad Iggy shot up. I definitely think he shone this chapter and think he's really come into his own.

But the biggest surprise was Jasper! I mean him as number one? I don't even know who he is but that seems shocking. Is he in the story?

...Ooh, Jarred. I vaguely remember him. JK, jk. Like I told you I LOVE that he's the top, even if it makes me nervous about if I can keep up the hype. I think he was a favorite early out for a lot of people...somehow, so I think his return paid off. I know I've been waiting to unleash him and his true character potential since the first chapter, so I love its put him at the top. I agree completely, he is a fluffball that needs protecting <3

These rankings were amazing Twinnie! Super detailed and very interesting. Your guesses for Top 5 and the Final 2 are also interesting. We're just going to have to wait and see ;)
