Edgy emo guys with the world against them have always been a thing back to Hamlet. Before Drizzt there was Raistlin. Too many adolescent boys want to be strong too, I guess, so Drizzt was more popular. But you have to give Raist credit for actually killing the gods like so many people's parties were trying to do after Deities & Demigods came out.

Honestly Drizzt was pretty original at the time--everyone was writing their standard D&D party into their books. Tropes get overplayed because they strike a chord with a lot of people.

I enjoyed the first three dark elf books. After that I figured, well, Salvatore needs to eat.

What, you're saying someone thought of this kick-ass concept before I did?

That's a straight up bummer, man.

Raist was a naughty word naughty word who should've had his face punched in long ago. Jesus.
