Stats Breakdown of Default Male Lead w/ Dark Hair (ver. Dojin) - massive post.
Dojin doesn’t just resemble Jonghyuk, but also at least 11 novel MLs. Out of 11 novels, stats say:
90.9% have black hair
81.8% broad shoulders
72.7% side-parted bangs
72.7% wavy hair.
72.7% are OP munchkins.
54.5% have a wardrobe in shades of black (the remaining wear black with red or white accents).
45.5% unhealthy attachment tendencies (e.g. destructive obsession/coping mechanisms)
45.5% are either regressors/resurrectors.

*Not complaining. I love them all, just thought it was interesting.
*I have no authority to speak on the default blonde ML yet

(Yes, this is NOT SCIENTIFIC, I know. 11 is too small a sample size. In my defense, haha coincidence goes brrr & I consult novel covers only)

Subspecies of the tall, dark, handsome & mentally unstable brunet Male Lead:

Type A - OP hardworking (but not necessarily cold) narrator with dark hair, broad shoulders, tendency to wear all black, with a regression/resurrection ability
Ex:
(1) “I Came Back & Conquered It All”
(2) “Resurrection of the Catastrophic Hero” (ONLY in novel! Promo manhwa changes character design!)
(3) “F-Class Key Hunter (F급 사주 헌터)” —NO TL

Type B - OP Male Lead who slowly develops or mends a fractured brotherhood w/ MC through struggle
Ex:
(4) “2nd Male Lead Powers Up” has Prince Cedric
(5) Jonghyuk, the original from ORV, covers 100% of the ML requirements
(6) Kim Dojin (though it’ll take 9-10 volumes to reach the friendship stage) covers all requirements EXCEPT regression/resurrection (no death-cheating skills, but Dojin did return from another world, à la Narnia or classical JP hero-summoning isekai)
(7) “S-Classes That I Raised” has Yoohyun

Type C - Shoujo romance novel’s Main Love Interest. Often an aristocrat. Always a broad-shouldered & black-haired ML, who ends up either very sweet or very obsessive.
Ex:
(8)”Doctor Resignation”
(9) “Please Be a Traitor” = a more Kuudere ML, but he could pass for Jonghyuk’s brother.
(10)”Lost the Leash of the Yandere Male Lead” = author literally describes ML as a “brainwashed twisted yandere, the Duke’s heir & a genius wizard”
(11) “Regretting Once is Enough” (후회는 한 번이면 족하다) at https (://) ridibooks (.) com (/) books/2901002405
You can’t see him on the cover for the 1st 3 volumes, but vol. 4 on Ridibooks has the ML

CONCLUSION
My literary brain tells me this is likely b/c the prevalence of dark-haired OP protagonists created a stereotype that “this is what a male lead looks like,” which these authors built a scaffold around, either to use it directly (as in Shoujo romance) or to comment on the nature of a “protagonist” (as in ORV).

On the other hand, lizard brain wants to crack jokes about Jonghyuk’s regressions bulldozing their way into other plots.

What is your theory?
I have no account & cannot reply, but I am very interested in hearing other opinions.

WHERE TO READ:
1, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 14 are worth reading. Have not read the rest, so I honestly cannot recommend.
However, if you want to read, know that:
Broken-up links to Ridibooks or Kakao below? Ok, there’s no translation & IDK where to get free raws.
English title only? Ok, it has a translation (no guarantee of completion). Just go on Novel Updates & look up the title, but be careful, as there are many similar titles.
Am an anon w/ no account. Can’t reply to anon topics, even my own. If 1 of the links is wrong, I beseech someone else to correct it below, since I sure can’t.

BONUS (BL)
Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
Here are the ones who I did NOT include in the stats, out of fear they would skew the distribution.

EXCLUDED FROM STATS:

Type D - BL love interest
(I CANNOT confirm their personalities, nor the storylines. NONE of these are translated, the raws are paid, & I can’t understand Korean.)

Ex:
(12) “Protect the Legendary Blacksmith” (전설의 대장장이를 지켜 줘!) at https (://) ridibooks (.) com (/) books/2093030314
(13) “How to Raise Victims” (희생자의 사육법) https (://) ridibooks (.) com (/) books/2200032024
(14) “Is the Role of the Villain Over?” (악역의 역할은 끝났는데요?) at https (://) ridibooks (.) com (/) books/2749014911
(15) “Snake” (뱀생) at https (://) ridibooks (.) com (/) books/2259003674
