WriterMate's reading
A difference of 1 title means WriterMate reads this as holding steady. With a sample of 20 titles, swapping a single title already moves the figure by 5.0%, so we require a change of at least 2 titles before calling it a rise or fall. 66.7% of the titles carrying multiple protagonists also carry action. It is more accurate to read this as the "multiple protagonists + action" combination moving, rather than the genre on its own. Next most common: adventure(66.7%), adventure(66.7%).

Story pattern read from the synopses
3titlesAmong the three works in the 'multiple protagonists' theme this week, two show a structure where various characters pursue their own goals to resolve events or embark on adventures. While one work features multiple protagonists, the other two tend to focus on the narrative of a specific protagonist, such as an alien abduction romance or the tale of a half-good dragon.
What changed from last week — In the previous week, there were works focusing on a protagonist's revenge or survival, like 'Pale Light. ' However, this week, with the emergence of alien abduction romance in 'Princess of the Void,' the narrative structure of multiple protagonists has become somewhat more dispersed.
