Lin Feng hadn't paid much attention to this so-called comprehensive ranking.
He had seen some forum posts discussing it, but only glanced at them without reading them closely.
After all, if even a phenomenon like Demon Slayer couldn't make the rankings, then he, a third-rate manga artist before his transmigration, would be helpless.
That's why Lin Feng hadn't paid much attention. Some things were already decided from the start.
"Right, you haven't forgotten already, have you...?"
Mitsugetsu Miyako looked at Lin Feng's nonchalant attitude and asked back with surprise.
For many new manga artists, the ranking list for this first week was very important.
Because through this ranking, one could see just how popular their work was.
However, Lin Feng had just acted as if he didn't care much about the ranking, which truly caught Mitsugetsu Miyako off guard.
Could this be what it meant to be a genius? But to be honest, Lin Feng was a genius for creating such an exceptionally brilliant manga at this age.
"It's nothing, Miyako. You came over so late, it's not just to tell me the ranking of my work, is it...?"
Lin Feng smiled awkwardly and waved his hand, then asked Mitsugetsu Miyako curiously.
"...It's not entirely because of that. Anyway, you should look at your results first."
"I hope you won't be shocked after seeing it!"
With that, Mitsugetsu Miyako handed a folder directly to Lin Feng.
This list was also the result of their latest statistics.
It was precisely because the result was so surprising that Mitsugetsu Miyako rushed over so late, wanting to share this joy with Lin Feng in person.
However, this guy Lin Feng didn't seem to care much about the ranking on this list.
This also made Mitsugetsu Miyako feel like she had a lot of energy but nowhere to use it.
"Is my ranking not good?"
"Being startled isn't necessary. My psychological quality isn't that fragile, so even if the ranking is relatively low, I can accept it..."
Hmm?!
Lin Feng's words stopped here.
Because when he opened the folder, he saw that the overall ranking for Demon Slayer had shockingly reached the top spot!
So it really did become number one...
This result was, for Lin Feng, truly unexpected yet within reason.
Considering the influence and popularity that Demon Slayer had garnered, it was perfectly normal for it to receive so many votes and claim the first-place position.
However, Lin Feng hadn't actually expected it to immediately shoot up to number one.
After all, this work had only just released two chapters and a preview for the third since it was officially published in the magazine.
Even so, it still managed to take the first-place position, which could only mean that the content of Demon Slayer was genuinely captivating.
It truly lived up to being a phenomenon-level work; the quality was top-notch.
"So, do you understand why I had to come here in person now?"
Mitsugetsu Miyako finally saw Lin Feng show a surprised expression, which made her feel that her trip today wasn't in vain.
"Well, this result is... acceptable, I suppose."
Lin Feng said casually, handing the file back to Mitsugetsu Miyako.
In his mind, it was only natural for Demon Slayer to achieve such a result.
Lin Feng had originally thought it would take a while longer, after the later parts of the story were released, for it to reach such a high ranking. He didn't expect the readers and fans in this world to be so supportive.
They directly voted for the newly released manga, Demon Slayer, to reach the top spot.
"Acceptable...?"
"As expected of Lin Feng-sensei, the creator of Demon Slayer, to remain so calm and collected even after breaking the publisher's record for nearly a decade."
Mitsugetsu Miyako winked playfully at Lin Feng, emphasizing the "sensei" part.
In truth, after their relationship became more familiar, Mitsugetsu Miyako simply called him by his name, no longer using honorifics like "Mr." or "sensei."
So, hearing the words "Lin Feng-sensei" from Mitsugetsu Miyako's mouth made Lin Feng feel a little awkward.
"Broke a ten-year record?"
Lin Feng was slightly taken aback by Mitsugetsu Miyako's words, then looked at her with a hint of confusion.
"Yes, because of the impact of the economic bubble in recent years, the circulation of Weekly Shonen has actually been decreasing year by year."
"Therefore, the review conditions have also become more stringent, and the works that can be published are all outstanding pieces."
"And for a newcomer like Lin Feng, getting your work published in Weekly Shonen is already quite an accomplishment, not to mention being able to top the overall rankings."
"This is practically unprecedented. It's no exaggeration to say it's a record-breaking achievement."
Seeing this, Mitsugetsu Miyako didn't beat around the bush. She put away the folder and spoke to Lin Feng seriously.
Perhaps Lin Feng himself didn't realize what this ranking truly meant, but as a responsible editor working as an intern at the publishing house, Mitsugetsu Miyako was very clear.
Lin Feng's feat, not only broke records, it was practically a miracle.
"Is that so? Well, that's pretty amazing then..."
After Mitsugetsu Miyako's explanation, Lin Feng finally came to his senses.
As a transmigrator, especially one who was a struggling, third-rate manga artist before, Lin Feng didn't really have a clear understanding of this overall ranking.
After all, in his previous life, he had always experienced flops and failures, and couldn't really be considered someone in the legitimate manga scene.
However, after Mitsugetsu Miyako explained it, Lin Feng realized that the value of this comprehensive ranking seemed to be quite high.
As a new manga artist, Lin Feng, with a brand new debut work, had shot straight to the top of the list in just one week. It seemed he was indeed very strong.
He had to remember that the top ten manga on this comprehensive list were all works that had been serialized for many years.
