Why is it so rare for MCs to be the best characters in their series?
>>
They generally have to be safe and marketable to avoid alienating anyone
All the colorful personalities are dropped on side characters so it doesn't matter if you hate them

just make your protagonist more ridiculous than all the other characters and it usually works

If you make them too good you'll have to spend more effort to maintain that quality since they're the central character with the most screentime. It's easier to wank side character instead
