The author held an unofficial popularity poll on his twit in Sept. 2022, lmao. It got about 300 votes. Results:
1. Rhyno (17.2%) - "Gathered the most votes by far, and took 1st place with a substantial lead. He's considered even less trustworthy than Venetim by his teammates, but if there was an actual popularity poll in the world of Sentenced to be a Hero, he might get a pretty high vote there, too. Regardless of his inner thoughts, he's well-liked by the citizens thanks to his actions."
2. Venetim (13.7%) - "I think he gathered this many votes thanks to his looks, but I can't dismiss the possibility that there was some sort of fraudulent activity, too. The rest of the heroes would probably agree."
3. Tatsuya (11%) - "I feel like it can't be helped that Xylo would lose to Tatsuya. After all, Tatsuya is the hardest-working member of the penal unit. I think his ranking jumped up suddenly thanks to votes from his devoted fans."
4. Xylo (10.6%) - "Our protagonist who had to duke it out with his close competition Tsav. If he hadn't gotten a sudden burst of votes at the end, he might have ended up in the same ranking as Jayce. Hearing about these results would make him a little grumpy ... I think."
5. Tsav (10.3%) - "Around here is where our contestants are fighting fiercely over every single vote. Tsav might find this placement of his unacceptable ... because he delusionally believes that he's the character with the saddest backstory, and thus is extremely likeable."
6. Norgalle (8.2%) - "Because a king isn't designated by popular vote, even if he heard about these results, he'd only be displeased by them, he wouldn't have any sort of identity crisis over it."
7. Dotta (7.2%) - "I think he's raked in most of his votes based on appearances ... but I guess he does accomplish good deeds once in a while, so he's probably just barely holding onto some goodwill."
8. Neely, Jayce, Teoritta (7.2%) - "The three of them got this ranking together. Good for you, Neely and Jayce!"
