I felt like the Jun-ho's plot existed primarily to flesh out the character and backstory of the Front Man (used to be a loving brother and an upstanding citizen, until financial problems forced him to take part in the game and the horrors of it corrupted him and brainwashed him into believing that he needs to participate in the system to ensure that it's "just"), and to learn more about how it all works behind the scenes. I liked knowing these details, though it's sad that it didn't lead up to anything in the end.

I disagree with the criticism that seem to just not understand the genre. That's like saying there's nothing interesting or innovative in any fantasy work, because everything is a rip-off of Tolkien.

This. OP’s criticism is just a baseless comparison to other examples of the sub genre. And claims like theirs are so common at this point, that they’re just as unoriginal and ubiquitous as they all think Squid Game’s concept is.
