The Greatest Estate Developer – Review

The Greatest Estate Developer – Review

• Art: 9.5/10 ⭐

• Story: 10/10 ⭐

• Character Development: 8.5/10 ⭐

• World Building: 9.5/10 ⭐

I read the Official English Translation (on LINE Webtoon) all at once, and honestly, it's an amazing story. The way the arcs and seasons are structured, the hilarious situations, and the world-building are all top-notch.

That said, I recommend reading the fan translation by Asura Scans if you can. In the official version, most of the dialogue uses the same font, which makes it harder to feel the tone or emotion behind the words. Asura Scans does a better job by using different fonts to express the mood and personality of the scenes.

Season 1 feels like an introduction to the world — setting up the characters, their relationships, and the environment. Season 2 feels more like the first half of a movie — it builds curiosity about how Suho Kim (aka Lloyd Frontera) will solve the challenges ahead.

There's also a neat connection to "I Became the Chef of the Dragon King" and "What a Bountiful Harvest, Demon Lord!" which was a nice touch.

Now, the storyline itself follows a fairly familiar pattern :

The MC gets transported to another world, inhabits a character doomed to fail or die, but changes everything by solving problems and helping people. Just as it seems like everything is perfect, fate tries to pull things back to the original path, and the MC has to find new ways to overcome it — leading to a satisfying happy ending.

While the basic premise is pretty generic, what really sets this series apart is the fantastic art, clever storyboarding, and the non-stop hilarious situations. It never feels boring, and it constantly leaves you wanting to read the next chapter.

Overall Rating: 9.3/10 ⭐

Best Comedy Manhwa OAT

I've read many mangas and it's extensions but not one like this. It's totally hilarious where the main goal is to make the reader laugh, laugh and laugh. I loved the plot and the jokes. It is so good.

The manga's art is fantastic, some situations are very funny, the dialogue is well-balanced, and certain chapter endings keep us on the edge of our seats.

Forget Solo Leveling, if ANY webtoon deserved to be animated, its THIS one.
If you don't like this series, you don't like fun.

I dont like it, but do not haylte it

by MLGSwag

Rating: N/A

The reason why i do not really like it is because mc is an asshole tbh. Which is understanable based on hiw his previous life was and his current resolve to live a carefree life through any means necessary.
I like it because they show despite him being an asshole, he is able to change fate for the better

The manwha is generic in some aspects but overall this is somewhat unique compared to other manwhas I have read

Belly-shaking comedy with notes of redemption

by JakeMertens
1 year ago

Rating: 9.0 / 10.0

9/10. It's a comedy manhwa, so anyone's rating is gonna be pretty subjectively dependent on how much they laughed. I laughed a lot.

The protagonist is a lovable ruffian, his best friend an aide-to-camp a dashing hero providing the straight man reactions to the protagonists endless gags.

There are themes of redemption and defying fate to accompany moments of drama interspersed here and there throughout the story - it's not anything that treads new ground but they're nice bitter flavors to break up the sour-sweet flavor profile of what is first and foremost a comedy manhwa.

The story is a bit of an ode to construction workers - by volume it's about 50% action, 50% civil engineering and construction, and of course 100% comedy.

I would say that the art is above average, but the artist's unrivaled mastery of comedic facial expressions pushes an "above average" evaluation firmly into "excellent" teritory.

There are some very adorable pokemon-esque pet characters. The artist seems to have a thing for muscular red-headed women, which is not something you'll catch me complaining about.

Absurd Comedy

Rating: 10.0 / 10.0

The MC is more than just a little crazy and has the facial expressions to match.

He's competent. He works hard. He gets things done. But he'll extort a price he feels appropriate, manipulate people to get his way, and screw over his enemies tenfold. All while smiling like a total madman.

Meh

Weirdly full of half-baked grievance politics, but fun every now and then if you turn the analytical and empathetic parts of your brain off. Even doing so, it definitely felt to me like this one got over-hyped... it's pretty mid most of the time.

Starts out pretty lame but becomes quite good

by tiankioo

Rating: 7.0 / 10.0

I didn't like the beginning. I had to force myself to read; I just didn't understand why this manhwa is one of the highest-rated on the website. The formula of problem -> MC handed something by the system that immediately solves the problem, was terrible. After the first 20 or so chapters, I became hooked and couldn't stop reading.

Despite my praise, I still can't give it higher than a 7 rating. After finishing everything available, it's still too formulaic: problem -> mc starts solving problem -> enemy interferes -> mc defeats enemy and solves problem, with barely any downtime at all before it restarts the formula. While this might be good for keeping people hooked, it's in desperate need of longer slice-of-life moments and breaks from the drama. All of the side characters/protagonists have suffered as a result of the constant action and drama, remaining entirely undeveloped. The setting remains largely unexplored even after 130 chapters. If I read a novel with such flaws, it wouldn't even earn a 5/10 rating from me, and considering this is adapted from a novel, I'm tempted to judge it the same, and I only didn't because despite my criticism it kept my attention well enough that I read 100+ chapters in just a few days.

Hilarious and I hope it gets an anime adaptation

Rating: 9.0 / 10.0

I'm honestly not sure how this even has any bad reviews but it just goes to show that a lot of people have different tastes. This is an extremely funny manhua that blends their comedy and serious moments pretty well in my opinion. I will say one of the tropes that I dislike in this is that the main character doesn't understand his emotions very well however it does make sense in the context that they give for his background.
It is similar to almost every slice of life isekai in that while there does seem to be a main story its kinda more background.
