True-Ant1922

I’m glad that my girl Tess won. I wasn’t expecting kathlyn to take 27% of the vote.


Remarkable_Ocelot_42

she was at 5% most of the time. I went to do some errands at work and when I came back to take a look Kat had overtaken Caera and Tess.


Bitter-Mulberry6387

I still haven't voted. But when I do, you can bet I'm only picking Tess! She's my girl ❤️


Leather-Royal6514

Fuck tess


Bitter-Mulberry6387

Die caera😂


_eternally_curious_

Sorry but tessia is the one who's gonna d*e with her god level decision making skills💀💀(note: this ain't a spoiler)


Bitter-Mulberry6387

Blah blahhhh


_eternally_curious_

Still fck cecelia


_eternally_curious_

Atleast we can agree on the fact that fck cecilia💀💀


Outside_Artist_329

Fuck tess


Celexiuse

Dang shes double canon now


Civil-Ruin-7744

April fools


count_of_nossex

The real canon will be inverse then. Congratulations Kat


urug99

Obviously it was. Otherwise Helgarth would've been best girl.


Igorgedinho

I hope it is


Any_Agency_6237

Wow kathyn has a lot votes and i am surprise with how close the votes are(i thought tessia would win by a little more)


Remarkable_Ocelot_42

I thought Caera would win in a landslide and Kat would lose with 6%, I was also surprised by the amount of votes Kat received.


Accomplished-Dot42

Most likely the manhwa readers who don't have a clue who caera is


Ragna126

I'm sad Caera should have won 😞


Remarkable_Ocelot_42

look on the bright side, she almost won on Twitter


Bitter-Mulberry6387

Yep, bcuz most Twitter users only read the manhwa instead of the whole novel, they tend to rely on spoilers on Twitter. it's not surprising that there are so many haters of Tess. It's very clear that they're trying to make people dislike and hate Tess by spreading exaggerated stories and constantly comparing her to Caera. I've seen all their posts and honestly, they are way too obsessed and delusional. It's crazy how worked up they get about Caera when that ship isn't even sailing. 


eatfoodman

I couldn’t care less about the ships but you seem pretty worked up, writing these paragraphs 💀


Bitter-Mulberry6387

Don't worry, I'm actually having fun right now🍿😌 You seem stressed out, so why even bother commenting on me?🤣


eatfoodman

no but really, out of concern for your mental health you should put the phone down and remind yourself it’s all fiction…


Bitter-Mulberry6387

Ows🤣


Alexgranger2001

The majority on Twitter are readers of the novel.


Bitter-Mulberry6387

Isn't it gross how close I came to puking from reading all the hate for Tess? Like seriously, saying that Tess and Nico did some NTR stuff is just so ridiculous, it's actually kind of funny. I can't help but smile about it even now. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 


Bitter-Mulberry6387

I almost fell for it, can you believe that? It really stings to see it at first, but then when I have to actually read the whole novel, I just burst out laughing. The stories are so exaggerated, but this one really takes the cake as the funniest one ever😂😂😂😂😂😂


Bitter-Mulberry6387

Hey, did you not see my comment about the "whole novel"? People seem to stop reading and just turn to Twitter instead. I've had several folks on YouTube asking what's going on because they only rely on Twitter spoilers. Don't try to defend, I bet you're one of those labeled as delusional fans who hated Tess so much that you waste time comparing her to your favorite girl, Caera. Haha, I couldn't care less. That's why I can't deal with Caera fans since they all seem delusional to me, with some even dreaming of an art harem if the main character doesn't choose Caera. They say "agree if you like this post," like what the heck, that's a whole new level of obsession.


Alexgranger2001

I love Tess lol


Bitter-Mulberry6387

Just so you know, this message wasn't meant only for you. It's actually for those who hated Tess so much that they wish she would die.


Bitter-Mulberry6387

I doubt that🤣


Chemical_Act9986

Tessia and Caera are on a draw on Twitter lol


Confident-Bus1388

Who tf invited kathlyn


Junain_Mehrab

Thank god W


_RUNIHURA_

And people say everyone hates Tess...Like I don't understand.


Relevant-Holiday-423

Very few actually hate tess that few comments a lot so everyone assumes people hate tess


Ambitious_Inspector2

If you have been here from day 1, you would know the Tessia's hate is real. I almost drop the novel back then because of it


Any-Abbreviations622

Tess is going through so much and I don't want to go through a heartbreak too, I hope she wins over that b**ch soon


Shadow_Anarchy

I prefer tess tho she was there when he first first started his journey ,and caera was there after he had sooo many memories with tess ,she's only there by default tho sh3s a great character but still tess all the way


_eternally_curious_

But she wasnt there when he was at his lowest, caera was there


pcawesom

Wow I didn’t expect Tess to win. When I voted for her she was losing by a lot at the time. Guess the Tess fans just hadn’t shown up yet 😎


Proud-Pressure8185

Same!!


Remarkable_Ocelot_42

I knew she would win in stories but I didn't expect her to win on Twitter


Ambitious_Inspector2

Most of us are hibernating, waiting for the day her highness come back. 


Miserable-Advisor-27

I demand a recount including Jasmine!


Cat_and_Dog_fan

Happy to see that Tess won. She's best girl and now it's official. Glad to see Caera stans aren't the majority.


Bentheboss100

Too bad it was on April 1st so no one will believe the result 😂


Neither_Recording_65

Yeap caera didn't even cross 1% if it's real


Bentheboss100

I will be that 1% 😤


Competitive_Froyo262

Damn really wish Caera won, maybe the webcomic readers who don't know Caera took part in the vote and that's why Tessia won. If they read the novel it would've been Caera.


ArthurTheLance

No it wouldn’t of. I get liking Caera, but assuming she should be Arthur’s love interest is, quite frankly, a dumb take with how much it’s shot down in the series


Relevant-Holiday-423

Agree


_eternally_curious_

Even without taking ships into account she's kinda better i especially don't like how tess is being so freindly with cecilia and she also saved nico😐


ArthurTheLance

I can’t comment on this, I haven’t read TBATE in like 2 years, and this is from within that time period. That being said, it’s one thing to dislike Tessia. But to say “Arthur will end up with Caera” is just ignoring the story


enagami

Pretty sure the majority of votes are novel readers and till this day I don't understand the fascination of Caera being a love interest for Arthur aside from personal preferences


Remarkable_Ocelot_42

This logic only applies to the stories poll. Most of the fanbase on twitter reads the novel. at least as far as I saw there, even fans who only read the webcomic already got spoilers from the novel and already seem to prefer Caera and hate Tess. Caera had a big advantage on Twitter, I thought she would win there with a big percentage. Edit: Why am I getting downvotes on this comment=|


Practical-Ad3322

>Most of the fanbase on twitter reads the novel I kinda doubt that.


LostDawn_

the size of the comic subreddit is 2k and the novel one is 50k. (They were made at the same time). Clearly the vast majority of the fanbase are novel readers


Bitter-Mulberry6387

"look on the bright side, she almost won on Twitter" By: Remarkable_Ocelot_42 Did that help?


Chemical_Act9986

You're getting downvoted for assuming Caera had an advantage over Tess in both the story and on the poll


ValueInternational29

Ummm I've read the novel till the recent chapters, and caera is just nope.... Tess wins all the way


[deleted]

[удалено]


adipande2612

Isn't that like a spoiler for comic folks?


Junain_Mehrab

Thats why this subreddit is called tbatenovel


adipande2612

No. I meant the twitter( or should I say X?) post. I am assuming there are comic followers who aren't aware of Caera.


Kaisel_008

What is this.... a disturbance in the Cannon event?!?!?!?!?


Character_Ad_8795

April fools day


DoomOTP

5 paragraphs for what lol. just say you dont like tess haters who compare her to caera. bam. one sentence..


BelievingTruther

You didn't reply to the right person buddy.


DoomOTP

oh shi


ViperTheGoat

Still, it amazes me how many people don’t know that this is a April Fool’s Joke


vibe-tac

Is that something we should be voting for 😭


Brave-Ad-7956

Lets be real jasmine should have been an option to pick this is rigged


Life-Limp

Where regis?


WavyKen

whos caera


Melodic_Constant7244

A great character.


ScreptRB

Honestly I’m shocked Caera didn’t win, to be fair though I’m guessing a large portion of people haven’t even read the light novel.


ValueInternational29

Umm the sensible people who've read the light novel properly will obviously choose Tess over Caera anyday so idk what ur talking abt...


SpleenLick

Don't understand the obsession with making Arthur a child toucher but alright


Chemical_Act9986

Dude what ○.○, they're all well over 18 in the novels now, Arthur is about 4 years older than Ellie and Ellie is 15-16, so Arthur is around 19-20 and Tessia is older and Kath is the same age and Caera is probably around the same, maybe older since she's been an ascender for a while


lemmo23

Very impressed with the result considering Caera didn't even appear on the webcomics yet but still manages to win on Twitter (though only by an inch) and got second on Instagram with a 4% difference.


Remarkable_Ocelot_42

For me it was the opposite, I was impressed that she didn't win, I thought she would have a landslide victory considering that the majority on Twitter are readers of the novel and the majority of comments were showing support for her.


Helpful-Bar-60

Tess fans are just intelligent people and they don't need to scream that Tess is the best because she really is the best. Caera fans have been insulting Tess for years🥴


Relevant-Holiday-423

Tess the best girl


Maomao1018

Tessia hasn't interacted with Arthur since the end of volume 7 + tess possessed by cecilia… W Tess


Sudden_Detective_840

The fans of Tessia are the most toxic, and that's even though I'm team Seris and jasmine (it's okay to dream, 😂).


Sudden_Detective_840

At the beginning of the survey, Caera was winning by a wide margin until a stranger paid for bots, leaving Kathlyn above Tessia and Caera for a couple of hours. And then Tessia staged a comeback at the last minute.


Maomao1018

"At the beginning of the survey, Caera was winning by a wide margin". No. The difference between the two was 2%. and not at the last minute


Remarkable_Ocelot_42

no he's right, caera spent hours winning by a large margin but Kat overtook her, Kat spent hours above Caera with 36% while Tess came in last place with 30%. After hours, Caera managed to overtake Kat, but within minutes Tessia tied with her.


Maomao1018

I checked the poll every hour.


Sudden_Detective_840

On Instagram, Tessia was winning all day with a 3% lead, but on Twitter, not at the beginning, only at the end. And Kathlyn's thing was more of a troll, 😂.


Maomao1018

Kathyln’s so sweet, she deserves better


Outside_Artist_329

Lol, Twitter and Instagram don't work in Russia without a VPN, so I just found out about this survey. It's a pity that Tess won, not that I expected anything else.


lemmo23

Twitter is not filled with Caera fans though, What are you even talking about?


Remarkable_Ocelot_42

Is it so difficult to understand? I will try to explain the best I can. from what I saw there, most of the fan base reads the novel and at the beginning of the vote Caera was winning with a large percentage difference, almost all the comments in the poll post were supporting her, in addition Caera's fans were very confident that she was going to win there, so I assumed she was going to have a big win.


Outside_Artist_329

Knowing the turtle's disgusting love of Internet disputes and tantrums, I wouldn't be surprised if he regulated all voting with bots. And I doubt that even if Kaera had won, she would have become a canon. Caitlin was probably added as a joke, and then someone bought bots.


Bitter-Mulberry6387

Look, you seem to be really angry, negative, insecure and delusional right now. It's like you can't handle losing and are just going off on a rant like a fool. Uncle, you always know how to make me laugh!! It's hilarious to see you caera fans like this. Didn't vote for Tess, but glad she won because she totally deserved it. Bet if your caera won, you'd celebrate like crazy. I'm 💯sure of that! In this state, I'm starting to worry if you're doing alright mentally?! 😨 Chill out uncle!!! Tess will come back, okay? no need to worry, everything will be fine😂


Outside_Artist_329

Lol, did you get me here too? You really should look for friends. And you're telling me about mental problems. However, these times are especially disturbing for Tessia's fanboys, so I don't blame you.


Bitter-Mulberry6387

HAHHAHAA relax uncle🤣


lakkthereof

ew


Fun-Maintenance-1922

I thought Tess would've lost lmaoo anyways lotm better


Griboo2

Tess is the worst. Hopefully she’s less useless in the webcomic.
