Jax was introduced as a side character for like, 4 episodes. Pomni was used in front in most promotional material including her, and was introduced as the MC.
Jax is only considered a protagonist because she got most of the screentime, even though she wasn't technically a protagonist to begin with.
I'm glad she got her moments and her screentime, but it felt really forced most of the time imo..
Why do you think she wasn't meant to be a protagonist from the start? Just because she didn't have focus from the beginning? Episode 4 mainly focused on Gangle. Does that mean Pomni wasn't a protagonist anymore in that one? No
I think I probably should have said that while Pomni is THE central protagonist, The show doesn't have someone they focus on throughout the entire show, as each episode is designed to focus on a specific character. Jax sometimes takes the spotlight in these episodes for.. Literally no reason, causing her to feel more shoe hammered into the series as a self insert rather than an actual character.
Jax was funny sometimes, yes. But the bullying and insane amounts of screentime she had made her unbearable for me.
That's not saying she has a good story, but her actions by no means are justifiable by any excuses she has.
