Honestly, I'm not sure how many lited users actually fit the concept to a T. I guess it boils down to pulling victory from the jaws of defeat in nigh-impossible situation, which Issei seems to do on a regular basis, albeit in a distinctly less-than-satisfying way ^ ^;

Characters like Dante are definitely a hell of a lot cooler and more badass in the high sense of the word, but I guess the awkward-weakling-who-somehow-manages protagonist type like Issei is ultimately more relatable (an essential factor in marketing), hence their larger presence in fictional works.
