> Rance is such an extreme personality that he's very much a "love him or hate him",

Well the whole Rance series is written in a style of exaggerated sarcasm is and very much written in the tradition of picaresque novel which is intended to satirize the world through the perspective of a rogue-like protagonist. That is to say the protagonist might well be a never-do-well/jerk but it doesn't mean the story is shallow. Quite the contrary the story carries a lot of depth with its observation on the humanity. That's the most important reason why Rance is so well received IMO. Though indeed I personally definitely wouldn't vote Rance as the No.1 character in such votes.
