The problem with Issei is that he has a very thin character and really no background to speak of. He has no unique childhood, no unique circumstances of birth, etc. His main MO was him being a pervert who loves breast who wanted a harem.
Now the whole thing with him being lost in the wilderness after achieving his goal could easily make a good plot point and a good transformation for Issei's character if Ishibumi could just write beyond the volume he's writing at the time and actually followed up on a lot of the plot points he introduced rather than just having them be relevant for a volume or two then forgetting completely about them.
Really DxD is one of those series that has a lot of potential but the writer just isn't good enough. Very few writers could handle a series with such a big world and so many plots. Ishibuni's not a bad writer as we've seen with Slash Dog which is way better done than DxD because it has a very limited world and the focus is very clear in the series and Ishibumi is playing to his strengths in that series especially as a former horror writer.

So what's the main focus difference with SD and dxd? tbh he doesn't really need a dept background to grow as a character he just lacks execution. He has a Longinus that’s tied to the supernatural world at large he has the rivals but ish doesn't use them right he the potential folis but it's never set up correctly
About SD I know it has the harem subplot but what's the difference between how it's set up compared to Dxd? Anyway back to something more mundane how would you want next vol to go?
