I'm going to have to point out that nah, Allen was always a major character if not outright protagonist, and Elluka/Levia is more of a spotlight thief who highjacked the plot once mothy started to solidify things. My source is that I've been here since 2010 and saw Elluka and Irina's takeover happen in real time.

I do agree that Allen probably won't be alone in saving the world, and there probably will be a novel to wrap things up (especially given that endgame technically started in 2014, when master of the hellish yard dropped and Nemesis bombed everything), but at the end of the day given that the series literally started with Wordplay&Clockwork Lullaby and Daughter&Servant of Evil, it'll probably end with those in some way to bring it full circle. And that it's also unfair to call Allen a decoy protagonist when he's always been a central character.

On that note, I called it! The cover is calling back to Evils Theater!
