It’s a 339. If it were at 330 or a casino I’d be all over it for 450 or under. The 339 is a no from me at any price because it’s a shrunk down 330. Essentially the same body width as your Les Paul.
I feel like you want a true, full sized hollow body. I don’t think you’d be content with this for the rest of the year.
Other thing, on guitars in this price point, see if you can feel the neck. Run your hand up and down the neck feeling the fret ends. Sometimes they’re poorly seated and will feel “sharp”. No only is it uncomfortable it can cause wicked buzzing.
I’m not saying this one does. It’s just the number one thing I’d watch out on guitars in this price range. Poor fretwork and then if that neck dries out they can start to sprout even more.
But again, it’s 200 bucks…not 2000. Have fun!

$200.
Should I buy it?
seems like a starter/basic line hollow body. good for a beginner
Like I said, I don't know. I've never played electric really. Been playing acoustic since the early 80s. Not even an acoustic electric...which is something I wanted before chemo destroyed my dexterity/finger stamina and essentially my guitar playing.
