without fail, i am taken entirely by surprise when the most popular character in the fandom turns out to be the protagonist

i think it is a combo of things for me personally
one being we get their story and any mystery is generally resolved
second is the mains are often a generic everyperson who the reader or audience can relate to
or self insert into
the more weird specific characters that are well written have goals ans motivations that go unexplored
but also they get to be more colorful or weird or cringe or not generically likeable
and thats the part i love
the mystery plus the weird/specific
and then i get to flesh it out via art (less often now) or writing
or i get to imagine all the possibilities of why someone did x or what happened 5 years ago that did y to side character abc
anyway... i agree!
