Description
Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.The virtual reality game “History of the Arcana Continent” became part of reality, and “players” who were synchronized with their in-game characters appeared to protect the world.
Lee Hoyeol, who was an ordinary salaryman, took over the body of the character he created in middle school, “Grandfell Claudi Arpeus Romeo.” Under normal circumstances, it would have been an absolute failure of a career, but Grandfell, whose occupation is a “demon hunter,” becomes extremely proud in front of demons!
The only demon hunter in this world, Grandfell (= Lee Hoyeol) starts to make a move!

Okay, so... the webtoon/manhwa? is better than the novel for sure, but the novel isn't that bad. I think the translations are pretty good too... There are just two things that affect my enjoyment.
I don't know if it's the author or the translator, but the spacing (formatting) is pretty wonky. Like every sentence (except for when it's consecutive dialogue) is a new paragraph on its own...
Also, I think the author really likes short sentences / fragments for impact. Not every sentence, but it happens frequently. I don't think it's the translator since the grammar/punctuation otherwise is pretty darn good.
Random example I made up: "The MC. What a monster. He ran."
If you can ignore that, I think the novel is good. The author's writing style might not be the best (as in execution. I feel like they'd be better as a webtoon/manhwa writer...), but the worldbuilding / ideas / premise is awesome. I think it'd be easier to read if you read the webtoon first (I'd give that 5 stars), but the novel is pretty interesting. It still has the hype moments and funny misunderstandings.
Basically, you get to watch a man acting edgy/cringe/chuuni because he's literally forced to. He's self-aware, but he can't act OOC. Random Ex I made up: "Aw man, I'm tired and I want to flop on my bed. *Goes to clean his entire house before resting*
Random example I made up 2.0: Internally: Oh man, I should be polite to this really strong NPC. Externally: "Cease your foolishness at once."
It feels a bit cringy at times, but then you remember what he's saying is purposefully meant to be kinda like that XD I really like the worldbuilding, premise, and plot.
Yeah, the webtoon/manwha is far better. I would say the novel is readable and has its hype moments, but the author's execution is... barely passable imo. Like, it's not quite painful to read, but it's not super enjoyable. I feel like the author would be way better if they focused on writing stories for manwha/webtoons because they have great worldbuilding and interesting ideas for their plot, but... their writing style is mid.
