There is never a lack of emulators, once someting is successful, and the other truth is, when people discover a new niche, they want MORE in that niche, so in some ways, the emulators are serving a purpose. People discover Harry Dresden...and they want more urban paranormal mysteries. If there's only Harry, they're going to be disappointed after consuming his backlist of books. Ditto any other enormously successful series or genre or oeuvre by X.
Don't forget all the 50 Shades of Rubbish clones that came out.
