I have an ensemble across my trilogy. If pressed, I could pick 1 protagonist, but it wouldnβt be the obvious choice of the 15 chapters so far written. I really think of it as 3 main povs, 6 secondary povs, 2 supporting povs, and 1 wildcard.
There's a lot of engagement farming aimed at writers, asking questions about "your protagonist" or "your villain," etc. I'm on my 15th novel. Exactly which protagonist or villain would you like to hear about?
