Why did this get posted here? It looks identical to https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/i-am-the-final-boss/list?title_no=124083
isn't this therefore being produced in English, and thus not a thing we allow posting?

@duodecimus : I think in this case it's allowed because the poster (unless it's a fake account and profile) of the chapters is the author himself.
So, about this series… although it's classified as isekai in the genres, it's a curious mixture of isekai and game reality. The catch is that the protag thinks he's in a game, but is actually in an alternative world. I normally dislike the isekai genre, but that doesn't mean I don't recognise a nice twist when I see one.
And this is one of these cases. I spotted it in Naver a few months ago and was seriously disappointed when I realised the author was just testing the waters and not serialising it regularly.
I say that because I find the premise promising. The series doesn't take itself too seriously, even poking fun at isekai tropes from the very beginning. And while it's not the first time we see a protag being the "villain", the execution has been interesting. I find the main character and the heroine engaging characters, but I'd have to see more to make an informed judgement. And the demon lords overseeing it are also a clever narrative device, not to mention the fact that their chemistry is great. The whole idea of it all being some scam to make the protag take their place is also fun and makes the reader want to learn how things will turn out on that front.
Chapter 4 was a little awkward. The narrative was broken relative to the smooth progression of the first three chapters. It feels like the author's trying to make the plot advance faster, perhaps because he's after more viewers. (Which may also be the reason he posted his webtoon here.) However, it's not a major problem, and I also liked the fact that there's a language barrier between the protag and the heroine: it's a touch of realism that may lead the protag to realise this is not a game later on. We'll see.
I think I'll be following this. It's not stale, it's not a self-insert, and there's good balance of narrative elements. Nothing sounds too forced. The humour is good, and the art is not stellar, but good enough, which is saying a lot about an artist who's making his debut.
I dislike isekai as much as I love game reality (DICE, Darwin's Game and I am mob are manga and webtoons I treasure). This one blends both. I'm definitely curious, if not hooked yet.
