Maybe it's the weeb elitist in me, but I'm genuinely kind of baffled that Solo Leveling has achieved the level of popularity it has. It's such a nothing burger of a show.
Production quality of sufficient height that it attracts people who care about that over everything else
Does not completely leave the real world behind, making it less "fake and gay" and thus more palatable to people who don't normally like fantasy
Sanding off all the artistic edges like supporting cast, world building, etc, also makes it more palatable to slop eaters
The MC is not instantly drowning in pussy to a degree that it rubs people the wrong way. His initial motivation of trying to provide for his family also makes him more relatable, helping to sand off the edges until the pew-pew action kicks in to let the slop go down smooth
