To be honest Jujutsu Kaisen, Demon Slayer and the latest Bleach are ridiculously generic at first yet the only thing backing them up are the visuals from the studios. I would the say the psychological content from Jujutsu Kaisen was already used by Noragami but more in a comical fashion. I'd say give it time.


I mean, to step back a bit, how often are the opening chapters of a shounen battle manga all that indicative of what the rest of the series will be like? Dragon Ball started out as a gag manga crossed with a very barebones adventure plot; Naruto had so little to do with Naruto that early fans joked it should've been titled Sasuke instead; Yu Yu Hakusho was a supernatural mystery series with some comedy; Hunter X Hunter started out as generic monster-hunting-adventure fare; Bleach did the monster-of-the-week thing for a long time; Negima was a slice-of-life harem comedy for a good four volumes or so; One Piece was, well, okay, maybe OP hasn't changed very much but you get the idea.

As my motto says: "Execution is the key". It doesn't matter if something has been done before lots of times or not. As long it's done in a very interesting, enjoyable and sometimes in a complex way, then it can work as a reason why a work can be popular.
