While it's obvious the votes are at least a little bit rigged to have Lin Ling and X to be at the top, you underestimate the power of being the main character of the first story arc which also has the most episodes out of all characters. Lin Ling is also a pretty likeable dude all around with his shounen personality + he's an underdog. All this combined leaves a very strong imprint on the viewers and the director knows this so he showed Lin Ling's story first
