Since season 1, ouat has been a romance driven show. That is just the way it is and always has been.

Emma is the main character-or rather was the main character- of the show.

Protagonist+Romance driven plot= one arc ouat of the whole show (ie. one half season out of 6 full seasons) where the main character's relationship gets a little bit more screentime than everything else.

You don't have to like CS, but saying that the show focussed on the protagonist and her relationship too much is silly. It is like saying season 1 focussed on Snowing too much.

OUAT has never been a romance driven show at first. At the origin, it was a family & hope driven show. They turned it into a ship show during S3.

And since S3, it is the main problem. CS, Snowing, Rumbelle, OQ, Swanfire, SwanQueen, etc... Wars between fans. And no, when you look at CS in S5, it is normal to feel it was too much. The writing was unnatural as hell, as some twists were not making sense. You can't expect people to enjoy a show and its cast, when the writers gave no fuck about the other characters.

And saying "Emma = main protagonist so normal" is bullshit. Many shows are better at doing a romance driven storyline for one character, without feeling that heavy on the fans. They ruined the entire 5A plot for that. It was badly done, and it would have been much better if some points were changed (aka Dark Swan as main villain). Too much CS or not would not matter if it was done correctly.
