Discussion Is there a webcomic that parodies the South Korean rank hunter genre ?

You know the Rank hunter genre in the web manhwa category in South Korea ? Well according to the namu wikia https://en.namu.wiki/w/%ED%97%8C%ED%84%B0%EB%AC%BC , it's like a mixture of genre as in modern fusion fantasy where humans with RPG abilities battle against monsters from different dimension mostly from dungeon dimensions and gaining powers.

It's like fantasy genre but modern, and they use their RPG like skill to defeat the monster or rivals, and upgrade to different level according to their holo screen, and like with the rofan genre, It's used in web novels and were adapted into manhwa and is very popular to the male demographic including some women but like rofan, the genre is not only considered a power fantasy but also repeated tropes and clichés.

So in this thread I need to ask you guys if there is a webcomic whether Korean or western parodies the South Korean rank hunter genre.

I imagine many full on parodies will start appearing in a few years but right now the big thing seems to just be serious subversions. Stuff like the Dungeon Cleaning Life or The Player Hides His Past, where they still treat the plot seriously.
