This is a story for people who read and are familiar with Webtoons. Because it is a parody story, that is self aware and breaks the 4th wall.
To put this another way This is the webtoon equivalent to Weird Al writing a comedy Deadpool series. It can be a riot sometimes, and MC is completely unique and unhinged in his thought process even though it works(because he is actually in a webtoon). MC isn't even named for most of the story, with everyone just calling him pervert for his devotion to webtoons.
And like Deadpool, if you are not familiar with the source material Deadpool references/makes fun of, you don't get the full enjoyment.
Despite the parody and humor, its actually drawn me in a little more seriously ever so slight, since the characters actually have developed some.
I would put this story in the category where it is so intentionally bad it became good again. It is a good story, but not one that engages your brain.
For those confused about the genderswap tag:
(short version you will not find what your are looking for or what you are avoiding here, tag is not relevant even if technically correct)
Main Character is attacked by Cheonwha, who exists in MC world and survived to modern times. MC loves martial art novels and decides to recruit him. MC then overwhelms him with force establishing dominance and then makes him a woman to join his group, since he doesn't want to travel with manly men and it would make the story more interesting.
Plot relevance is minimal but funny as Cheonwha really is not happy with it, to the point it is literally the moment of greatest despair he she ever experienced, shown when all the characters must overcome their deepest despair. Cheonwha comes to terms with it through checkmate logic.
Anyways if I remember I might come back and add to this review with a basic sentence describing each chapter.
A few examples:
"Cheeseburger uses tackle against Demonlords general. It was super effective! Demonlord has fainted."
"MC passes the trial and gains a hunters powers to fight back against the gates. 'Which power?' All of them."
"MC fights the constellation of (redacted). MC wins by power of friendship"
