Isn't that a bit pretentious of you? Your assumption that the Author is merely living out some fantasy is frankly quite offensive, and to call their works 'fanfiction' is nothing short of insulting.
By your account, all story writers are sad sods that are merely living out fantasies am I right?
And judging by your statements, your measure of a character falls solely on his capability and methods of interacting with the opposite gender, and in a series which had a few more dimension in it's story, that's abit short-sighted of you isn't it?

I just don't see the point of having a title character take back seat while some dude swaggers about rejecting the obvious advances of hot woman while we could be seeing something more interesting. Apparently and jugging from watching the show alot of interesting stuff happened to certain characters while they where off screen. I'd rather see what they where up to instead of watching anther forced romance scene between generic MC number 122342 and miss second choice love interest for the bazillionzth time.

A title is whatever the author wants it to be, there's no law that dictates what a title should represent, there's no checklist to tick. The series is named '
Hidan no Aria' because it's about a girl named Aria; your assumption is that it has to be a story from Aria's pov, which doesn't have to be the case. And since it's not from Aria's pov, the Author is free to explore other characters with or without her.
