Most of the people watching SL are new to anime or kids. They don't want to drive into anything with deep plot which is why it's a good starter anime, and it has no filler and barely 50 episodes which makes it the perfect package. Regardless, though it pales severely in comparison to the rest of these, people have the right to watch what they want and it's fine too. You can't take a horse to the stream but we'll all know you sure as hell can't force it to drink water.

To be fair the entirety of the Isekai genre does the "focus on MC" way better than SL. It is not "unique" in the least. Hell I don't even think most SL leveling fans can name anyone apart from jin woo including and I read the manga way before the anime was even hinted to come out talk less of the trailer.

Every shounen anime that's more than 2 seasons has a repetitive plot. Your point doesn't stand.

You have to give me your definition of a solid plot if freiren's Plot is a "barely". Naruto's plot isn't as "simple" as SL, either you watched Naruto from reels or you never got through the first 20 episodes.

And you having never read the apothecary diaries doesn't make it boring, it means you lack taste (which I don't blame you for). Not everyone is born to be sophisticated, it's not your fault but one cannot expect anything sensible from anyone with a username called tiktok. Tik your blasphemous "voice of reason" clock and tok your crazy ass comment back where the sun don't shine.

Better than op Just because of the art style? Bro😑😑

And you double down to say by all means it's better than bleach and Naruto? Cale please slow down on the ale, it's ruining your sense of judgement

Thank lord you said hot take because that take was so hot it burned the damn kitchen.

Even if solo leveling was given seven lifetimes, it still wouldn't be as good as bleach nor it's characters and villains as remarkable as bleach. The only thing it has going for itself is a Mary sue main character (and yes a jin woo is a Mary sue)
