>Everyone's social and financial status is fixed at birth, and no matter how much you try nothing is ever going to change that, ever, for any reason
This applies to chinese and even some japanese media too, specially historical dorama.
>The self-insert is the only one in the world that can move upwards (and only upwards)
Oh look at dragon ball, for instance
>Not because he works harder than others, or because he's smarter, or because he works with a good team that complements his skills
Again, look at dragon ball
>But because he was born that way i guess
In SL jin woo was selected by the "system", in other power fantasies the Mc as either, selected by the gods, reborn with a gods favor / blessing, catch the attention of some deity, etc. You name it.

>Appealing character is important for Anime but solo leveling is doing opposite to it.
How so? Jon woo worked his ass as an E rank because his dad disappeared, has a mom in the hospital because of a disease and has to provide for his sister also. Im not an expert on shonen or isekai, but most of those MCs have fewer or no worries in the world and almost forget all of their past worries once they are reincarnated on the new world or revealed some hiddent talent.
>Having all female characters expendable.
All of my nani. Ok SL appears as a male centric work for many, but implying that women are expendable is a bit much sempai. Jinwoo doesnt go pussy chasing because despite his growth and powers he remains a dork on female related issues and has a laser focus intention on growing, obtaining the cure for his mom, and after that, dispatch the incoming deluge of enemies that keep relentlessly popping up. In later chapters he have more interaction with females but he mostly remains a dork, wont spoil anything beyond that.
Also, female hunters fight side by side with males, and in the whole series you dont see anyone disrespecting them.
>And bandai won't make toy or plamodel with sung jin woo.
Dunno why Japan, if i trust what has being said here, doesnt rike SL, but in other parts of the world even normalfags are actively asking about it. The story, well its not shakespeare, but its decent (at least most of it), the characters are interesting, there is character development for some, and the action is bretty gud.
>inb4 action is the only redeeming quality
have you seen MOONRISE? the action is quite good, the animation is 8.5-9/10 but the story and the storytelling SUCKS, and this series will be forgotten soon because of it. Good action by itself doesnt sustain a series, not on the level of SL.

Koreans had it hard, they made its own prision an the demographic projections look pretty grim. But having life changing university exams is not exclusive to Korea. China, Japan and other countries have it too. On some countries they even do internet shutdowns to prevent cheating
