The Witcher community is arguing over who's the main character, but the author already made it pretty clear

The Witcher

Debate is nothing new for The Witcher community, whether it's sharing our thoughts on Henry Cavill's recasting or reacting to news of a new book on the horizon. However, one of the age-old disagreements among fans is over who the protagonist of the popular saga is.

Given its title is literally The Witcher, you'd be forgiven for thinking that maybe the answer was obvious. In reality, though, it's a bit more complicated. In the books by Andrzej Sapkowski, which both the show and the games are based on, the focus switches more and more to Ciri as the series continues. This is a pattern that also became pretty clear in the Netflix adaptation too, especially the latest season which makes the Lion Cub of Cintra the focus of its later episodes.
