Copied layers do not become darker (overlap) when transferred or combined

I've been using a technique to make the main lines darker (darken the color) by copying the main line layers I've drawn and pasting the same layers on top of each other,
but when I paste the copied layers and transfer (combine) them, the lines don't get darker and they go back to the original picture (the original picture I want to overlay).
(Monochrome binary)
I'm having trouble with this sudden change.
Does anyone know what's going on?

Were you using a gray layer when it was darker?
The gradient parts of the anti-aliased parts that are not 100% black get darker with each layer,
and when the gradient parts reach 100%, the lines look thicker.
When everything is originally 100% black, it's either transparent or black, so the range (thickness of the lines) doesn't change no matter how many times you layer them.

Unless it's a line drawing (color or grayscale) that has transparent parts like anti-aliasing, I don't think monochrome that is not semi-transparent will become darker even when layered.

In the case of gray or color (lines have anti-aliasing), overlapping will make the image darker, but monochrome binary only has black and white, so
overlapping black lines will just result in black on black, and will not make the lines thicker or darker.
If there are two or more layers, it only appears darker due to the preview (display).
If you enlarge the display to 100% or more, you can see that the layers do not become darker even when they are overlapped.

It makes the lines darker, or rather thicker.

Duplicate the line art layer (keep the original line art layer hidden just in case) → convert the duplicate to a gray layer and blur it a bit with a filter → duplicate a few more → select the duplicated layers and merge → Layer Properties → Convert to Monochrome Layer → move the [Alpha Threshold] slider to adjust to your liking.

If you're not happy with it, try adjusting the blurring method or the number of layers.

Thank you everyone for your replies. I'm sorry for exposing my ignorance.
I realized how ignorant I was, that it just looked darker (thicker) in binary.
Thank you for your replies.
