Never been to Japan and not an expert on NEETs by any means but their portrayal in Anime/Manga/LNs seems awfully romanticized to me. A lot of the Stories featuring them feel a lot more like self-insert fantasies than actual stories with characters and plot (exception exist, for example Mushoku Tensei before the Truck hits). On the other hand western stories aren't free of problems with self-insert stories either so overall it's fine, just not made for me most of the time I guess.
