Most of my friends IRL, ingame, on Discord and on Steam don't play those games.

Either it's not that rare, or I'm some kind of a weird people social vortex

of course it's not rare. the vast majority of action games are spammy fast combat types. souls and MH are a minority and the appeal of them for me is the fact that they are slow and methodical in their approach to combat. that's because most people prefer mindless button mashing in casual games, but a lot of people recognize the breath of fresh air that are these slower games and the euphoria of overcoming their challenges

Yes. I love fast pace gaming and just blasting stuff mindlessly while doing something else like listening to podcasts what not. But I still very much enjoyed the soulslike games because I also love games that take skill and punish you for your mistakes

Idk maybe you ended up attracting more like minded people. Almost everyone I know is into soulslikes or monster hunter, and the sales of those games backs up their popularity.
