50 Greatest Fictional Characters Ever Written

Several months of work on methodology, two weeks of deep research, and three days of non-stop effort went into making this video — my small sacrifice so you could see it.

This list may differ from my personal opinions or past videos because it's based not on instinct, but on literary clubs, journals, and critical reviews. Throughout the process, I studied countless analyses and articles on the greatest works of literature, all of which helped me shape this ranking using the CECI criteria.

Of course, this list isn't perfect — it was never meant to be. It's a test of my abilities, a way to learn something new, and most of all, a chance to show you that "something". Consider this an attempt to further refine the CECI methodology.

I sincerely hope you discover at least one unforgettable character here — someone new, someone meaningful. I tried to make this list as unique and objective as I could.
