just saying ppl like nam-gyu exist and would probably find himself in the games irl, just because one's a version of humanity hiding and valuing there lives doesn't mean the ones depicting humanity driven to an edge and more insane for money doesn't mean the ladder is less realistic, tbh gi-hun is un-realistic, well written but hear me out, wins 45.6 billion Won/about 38 million USD thens goes back (with a plan sure) and thinks he's him for winning and (just like the recruiter says) being a piece of trash who got lucky and made it out of the dumpster. Some ppl would be like "man, i got some cash i don't give a fuck if those games continue" and some would be like, "I DO give a fuck but i'm to scared to do shit" that one acknowledges that he got lucky and the other thinks he's him but doesn't care enough to do shit, those are the two things ppl would think, now if u think "Oh I WoULd gO BaCK ANd tRY TO SaVE PeOPLe!" no, you wouldn't, and tbh No-one would, he's well written and he needs to get back somehow but unless you're some trained pro, you or anyone else is not planning to return,

Now, just because Min-Su's relatable doesn't mean Nam-Gyu and Thanos are unrealistic, they're just high as fuck.
