Arent "Obsessed" with their main character, Basically when i say "Obsessed" i mean they always make them do everything and always over praise them and etc, i like when Mangaka's use all of their characters in the story and just treat them just as they are, "Characters", because some mangaka's, they make their main character, similar to theirselfs

Basically like when your making a character for a online game and you make it to your preference, and giving him a name that you like and etc, So some mangaka's treat the main character as themselves and stray away from the fact that their just "Characters", and it makes the story unrealistic, With their "Over-praises", and making them do everything things and etc, That's why i like mangaka's who just treat their characters the same and has a balance of giving certain characters shine where its needed and proper development when needed

I especially wanted to make this thread because of a recent Interview from Yoshihiro Togashi, the creator of
"Hunter x Hunter", He said that he is prepared to take some "Reader backlash" because of some-things he's gonna do in the story as of late, and some-one that was reviewing Hunter x Hunter said that, when togashi was talking about
"The readers-backlash", that he was talking about how he might not show much of the main characters,
Gon,killua,kuripkika, leiorio, much in the new arc and focus more on the supporting characters, and really like his creative thinking

Even though a lot of people would love to see Gon and killua and the rest of them again, because of the long hitaus that togashi was on, I still love togashi's use of the characters, i like how he doesn't always Overly-shine Gon, and he doesn't always make him the Main star of everything, and he balances out the character shine, i think too many mangaka's make their main characters so Centric to everything and plot-shield them wayyyy to much in their story, so i like the way Togashi treats all of his characters the same, even though we all know that Every Mangaka gives a little Favoritism their main characters

But i feel as if some do it to much in their story's, so i really like when mangaka's give all their characters good development and don't always make their main character do everything in the story.

I agree with that, a perfect example of a writer who plays favorites is kishimoto himself, not with the main character but with the uchihas, the guy has an obsession with the uchihas. 90% of Part 2 basically became all about the uchihas and it felt like he forgot about the side characters, lol even naruto felt irrelevant at some point. And every important uchiha in the story has some hax ability, itachi, sasuke, obito, shisui, madara and madara's brother probably had some hax ability as well.
There are many mangas where the author doesn't make the main character like what you described but makes a side character that instead, I think AoT is a good example, levi and mikasa for example, do they even have a any flaws?
I don't read Hunter X Hunter but I do appreciate it when an author doesn't play favorites, at least when is not obvious.

I fullheartedly agree.

A few of my fave manga in which the main protagonist is nothing without his/her subordinates are: Claymore, Kingdom, The Breaker(new waves), AoT, Hajime no ippo, and the ones that are overly glorifying the main char but still legit manga are: Vinland Saga, Green Blood, Vagabond, etc.

I'm reading hunterxhunter right now
I was expecting it to be like naruto like everyone says but it's barely alike
The only thing in common is there's a character who has red eyes when angry who's clan was killed by bandits but they did it for the eyes to sell them
Hunterxhunter is good but it's a little overrated I like naruto better

lol there's a lot more than just that. You're just in denial but once you get caught up you will see how superior it is to Naruto. Where are you even currently at?
