Synopsis

There is no bigger scum of the earth than Lloyd Frontera. He is the eldest son, yet all he does is drink and intimidate others, depleting what little is left of his family's wealth. The Fronteras' knight, Javier Asrahan, is destined to become a renowned swordmaster, and Lloyd's family will face pitiful deaths as their entire land falls to ruin under insurmountable debt.

Though at some point Kim Suho was an average civil engineering student in Korea, he suddenly wakes up on a dirt road as none other than Lloyd, an ungrateful hooligan from the beginning of a book following Javier, the protagonist. While a sassy status window offers some clarity about his new identity, Suho is rather worried about his imminent downfall.

To avoid becoming a beggar—and ultimately lead a sweet and comfortable life—Suho decides to fix Lloyd's scumbag image. With his engineering expertise and magical construction skills boost, Suho introduces modern innovations and city developments to this medieval-like world, drastically improving the people's quality of life—all for a nice sum of money.

The Greatest Estate Developer
The story was immaculate. The character building was fantastic and the chemistry of the main cast was hilarious. To not classify The Greatest Estate Devloper as first and foremost a Comedy would be a tragedy. Multiple, Multiple times I was laughing out loud at the ridiculous shit Javier and Lloyd do together. The world building is decent for the number of chapters the story had and the story telling coming full circle was a beautiful send off. Every plot thread tied into a beautiful knot, every question answered, and every ship has sailed at the end of an era. Lloyd is ...

I've read a lot of isekai, so when I tried this one - I dropped it in about 15 chapters deep due to it's excessive goofiness. There was nothing of value I could find here.

Then year later I gave it another try and actually enjoyed that a lot. I embraced the goofiness and started to treat it like a comedy and it worked. Quite rarely manga can make me even chuckle, but this one was on par with Grand Blue after first 15 chapters.
Pair it with amazing MCs duo and nice-to-see redemption story and you have a very nice read.

But then something went wrong. You ...

It’s a purely amateur work, with very little originality, everything has already been done a hundred times.

It’s not bad, but it’s not good either. Some people should stop overrating things on MAL, everything is completely unbalanced, and it always comes from the same type of people, on the same type of works, which are always far from actually being good.

I normally never write reviews, but I’m tired of seeing non-Japanese works on this site, and on top of that they’re completely overrated.


The story isn’t original, it’s a patchwork of overused inspirations taken from everywhere.
The art is acceptable, going from decent panels to extremely amateur ones.
