Are backlinks enough by themselves to get ranked?

You say your links are better than your competition but are they relevant? and what about onpage have you got that right?

no1 in the porn industry has remotely relevant links. It's all anchors that are relevant.

no worries. They do have some porn pbns though and I was actually looking into the importance of relevancy right now. I might not be ranked right now due to this. No google 'frontmen' have made any explanation as to how important it is, but again it is something that probably would come quite naturally if you followed their instructions in the first place - aka getting backlinks organically lol

Any tips what to do if i got trapped in such situation?

start with brand, generic & naked anchors to gain some initial authority,
then you can add exact and partial matches,
try to keep them as low as %20+- tho

I think it's possible. There are still countless sites using high-quality links with enemy content.
