oh, boy... here we go again...
Links are not a magic bullet, man! They can help you rank, but they're not the ONLY thing that can make you rank
Anyway, I'm not going to ask everything again as I just asked the same questions yesterday, so have a look at this post and try to answer those questions first, and then we might be able to figure out where the problem is:

I think your domain is low compared to your competitors that might make a big impact.
Try to do more than your competitors if possible.

Your site is still new . Focus on good content, proper SEO, and relevant backlinks a few strong links work better than many low-quality ones.

Juste because your competitors got 100s or 1000s of links,
Doesn't mean that every single link of these is behind their results and authority,
In fact, it could a couple dozens of these links passing link juice, while most others are just ignored,
What you really have to do is to carefully inspect most of these competitors links,
Check for the quality contextual links and you'll get better idea about how competitive the niche, and approximately how many links you'll need

Thanks for answering, but the thing people in my third world country don't do seo, most don't have links or basically buy bulk links from somewhere like fastbase. Com or site price. Org
Thanks, I guess so
And btw it's a e-commerce field, the first page there's literally 2 foreign sites rankingoh, boy... here we go again...

At ~3 months old, your site is still very young in Google’s eyes. A couple of backlinks (even good ones) can help, but it won’t instantly move you ahead of sites that have years of age, lots of content, and a natural link profile.

Your site is only 3–4 months old so naturally it’ll take some time to rank Backlinks matter but content quality consistency site trust and age are just as important. Competitors ranking with spammy links might be temporary so it’s better to focus on a clean long-term strategy.

Backlinks are important, but for a young site like yours, content quality, site structure, and user experience also play big roles. Having some strong, relevant links helps more than just a high number of spammy ones. Focus on building natural links, improving on-page SEO, and creating valuable content to stand out. Also, keep an eye on competitors’ links—sometimes spammy links can do more harm than good.

Early on, it’s normal—focus on a few quality links and content, age and relevance matter more than raw numbers.

Quality matters more than quantity One strong, relevant backlink can outweigh dozens of spammy ones..Istead of chasing thousands of low-quality “dust” links, focus on getting under 10 strong, relevant backlinks from trusted sites. Those will move the needle way more.. Also your site is still new - 3 months) so you should give it time as you cannot force a baby to run at three months

it doesn't matter what other people do, it's all about google and using their algorithm loopholes to rank, that's all about SEO,
so, basically, you have to do it better than your competitors to rank, if most of them are doing nothing, it's good for you,
links from english websites would still work with non-english anchors when done right (sticking to quality & creative placements)

It will not be easy to rank with just two links alone. But if the first link worked for you, you can try buying more links from same supplier.

its not the quantity of links you have - but the quality

Don’t stress too much about competitors’ spammy links - they might get hit later.
Yeah basically that's the thing they're old like 3 to 6 years, most of them have those links between them, I'm probably the first with normal links
Yeah thats a question I had too, is it ok to buy more links from same site if they're working
