i still have a feeling that you didnt explained it fully. at least i cant see it.

your reasons are clear, but they shouldnt be enough to make Suesa and Michelle your priorities.
i found poor joseph too quick, and 4,5 similar authors too. so i had to calculate a bit to find out who had worse numbers. joseph lost. and i dont like math&digging at all^

there is so many people who are stealing, circle jerking, self upvoting and writing novels&publishing them in chapters/ or all that at once^
but you flagged S&M

i mean, how did you made a choice? did they have biggest earnings&lowest views in chaptered-fiction?
i could understand that in a way^
