And I've been here since well before the novels. Elluka has been the closest we've had to a protagonist because she's consistently been present through every major arc until Envy and Greed, when Allen got to be the protagonist for a bit--I don't see how Allen could be THE protag when he was missing through a good half of the series (he wasn't even born in Lunacy and Food Eater, and appeared nowhere in Gift/Pierrot). She isn't a spotlight thief if she's the one Mothy decided to have consistent. Allen is, in the case, because he came in and was relatively static in his motivations (to the detriment to his character to boot--me and a number of my friends got tired of how everything with him centered on Riliane and only Riliane 24/7), and then as of the Muzzle novel, Nemesis, who is Levia, came back into the spotlight.

Allen is still a major character. But it's telling to me that we only are going forward with the "save the world" plan now that Levia is back.
