In case people don't realize, there are more anime viewers than novel readers, and since we're on our way to season 3, more people would return for the anime. So here's the catch why Xenovia is falling behind Grayfia, people didn't like the way Xenovia initially acted during her introduction in High School DxD New, especially how she berated and tried to kill Asia, how she tried to act high and mighty to the ORC etc. Yes she apologized but like most people say first impression, so Xenovia left a bad first impression. Hopefully that'll eventually change when we reach "that" part in BorN though.
