im having trouble phrasing the question lol but basically ive noticed in most of the blvns i've played my main source of enjoyment of the story was because of the protagonist(s) and his writing! i obviously care for the lis as well and the different dynamics each guy has but the main character is almost always who i end up being attached to the most and who influences my experience with the story ^^
as an example while i really really love sweet pool the character i enjoyed fully in it was youji himself and only him TT tetsuo is also an important character and i did enjoy zenya's backstory and the suprise that was makoto's route lol but at the end of the day i dont think i wouldve cared for the game anywhere near as much as i did if it wasnt youji's story whereas if you swapped out any of the li for any other character or changed their writing i honestly dont think it wouldve affected my experience too much TT
i sort of felt this with luckydog1 too when i played it like i love luchino down bad and everyone in that game is so freaking entertaining but the center of it was gian to me and i find that his position and writing is irreplaceable ^^
from what i remember the only time i cared more about the lis in a game compared to the mc was uruc but that's just because yomi was too good lol
tldr is i guess i care far more about the protagonist in blvns rather than the lis because if his writing is good then i can already tell the im going to love my time with it and i wanna know if it's the same for everyone else ^^
