Remember that skills can be learned without the need for leveling. The goblins learned to speak human language, remember? Also, Gobumi and Gobue learned the "Dismantling" skill when Rou made them dismantle animal corpses for their materials.

Elves and Beastmen may also level much more slowly than "monster" races. There could be a huge difference between a level 20 and a level 21 Elf, for example.

Also, the Wood Hero does not have the [Job] Hero of Tree Fort, but the [Title] Hero of Tree Fort which is a modifier to her abilities. Aside from providing a straight forward boost to her raw stats, it would also provide her with unique abilities and the potential to unlock a Sacred Treasure if she doesn't have one already (although she's the strongest Hero in the Kingdom, the Rock Hero doesn't have a Sacred Treasure despite being stronger than the Water Hero; conversely, even though she's apparently got a lazy character, she's probably lived long enough to progress down her Psalm and unlock her Sacred Treasure).

Elves may lose out to an Ogre in terms of strength, but remember that Ogres aren't really that intelligent or skillful. Elves are, plus they natural ability to manipulate elemental spirits.

Lastly, levels provide a straight up boost to a person's ability, but training in this world DOES improve a person's physique and training (why else would they do strenuous muscle training if it had no effect?). Although there's a limit to how strong training can make someone, it's possible that the upper demihuman and monster races have a higher limit compared to humans. Leveling up may also contribute to raising this limit.

A lot of these are just my own suppositions, mind you. I'm just sharing how I understand this setting.
