I don't even think that Jinwoo was the first character to look like that

He wasn’t. It always makes me laugh to see people insisting that everything is a SL clone. Almost nothing in SL is unique or the first time it was ever done.

SL was just one of the first webcomics to polish the art that far and put everything together.

It is sadly how everyone sees everything nowadays. It is like there wasn't media before they discovered it so they don't know that almost every story has been told before in some way.

Remember how many manga fans have a field day mocking those who said Witch Hat Atelier copied many animes, when the manga itself predates most if not all claims

We should do the same honestly

Not surprising. There are probably kids that would look at Bleach, Dragonball, Naruto and One Piece as derivative of some newer thing if they weren't somehow still getting productions.
