    I mean, it sounds like someone who hunts cheaters, but it's also terrible because you have two words with -er suffixes in a row. How about "The Haxxorcist"? I know it's dumb, but so are most things gamers like to call themselves.

    This is good, too. It sounds like something gamers would actually use. But it would need a bit of introduction.

    Cheater hunter sounds doable but it lacks the definitive nature most titles have (because it's not a common phrase/combination). Depending on the answers to the questions below, it might be easier to change the title's to something like "I hunt cheaters" (change phrasing/tense) or "The hunter" (exclude the cheaters).

    1. What kinds of cheaters appear in the story? Exploiters, hackers, player killers or others?
    2. What type of hunting style does the MC use? Does he investigate like a private investigator or does he stalk them like a wildlife hunter? Does he punish them in a cruel way or does he just report them to the GMs?

    What about just:
    - Hunter/Pursuer/Tracker of Cheaters/Exploiters/Hackers
    or even
    - Hunting/Pursuing/Tracking Cheaters/Exploiters/Hackers

    Mmmm ... some references:
    (1) Sh*tty novel SAO "Beater" (Beta tester + Cheater)
    "The Chiller" (Cheater + Killer)

    (2) Popular manga "Goblin Slayer"
    "Troll Killer"
    https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=troll killer
    Fun definition I didn't know:
    A good friend who while out with a group of friends will take it for the team and go for the troll of the group of girls.

    (3) WOW Toyota Commercial
    "Did you see me lay down the LAW?! I am the "LAW GIVER"!

    I think The Cheater Hunter already sound okay. Not to confused with The Cheat Hunter or The Cheated Hunter.

    or how about 'Hunt the Cheater' , 'One who hunt the cheater'
