What solo leveling did was make every character from newer manwa from the same genre have the same annoying ass personality. Making all of them seem generic as f*** and make it annoying to read them. And optimistic reader Viewpoint starts to gets dragged out around chapter 200 and above, SSS suicide Hunter works because they cool down the MC personality, and greatest estate Lord actually works with the annoying personality because that's what they set him up as.
original SL was mediocre, but it was considered good because there weren't many manhwas at the time, and it's the gateway drug into fantasy manhwa
but now the mediocre story needs to compete with the liked of ORV, SSS suicide hunter, greatest estate lord, etc
i doubt it'll hold up as well as it did originally since people know actual good manhwas, but maybe it will
