Blurb: When civil engineering student Suho Kim falls asleep reading a fantasy novel, he wakes up as a character in the book! Suho is now in the body of Lloyd Frontera, a lazy noble who loves to drink, and whose family is in a mountain of debt. Using his engineering knowledge, Suho designs inventions to avert the terrible future that lies in wait for him. With the help of a giant hamster, a knight, and the world’s magic, can Suho dig his new family out of debt and build a better future?
Review: In many ways this is a standard isekai. A young male with various problems in the real-world gets teleported to a fantasy world, where he has access to some internal levelling system and becomes surrounded by a quirky lovable cast. Nevertheless, I loved it. I have rarely laughed so hard when reading a book. Many of the jokes are repetitive, and the author leans into them over time, yet I still find myself laughing, so there's no complaints from me. As in all webtoons too, I enjoy reading the top comments from the community at the bottom of the page.
If you're interested in seeing how infrastructure projects could impact a medieval world then this webtoon is a natural recommend. If you're interested in seeing a man motivated primarily by money scam those that are unprepared then this webtoon is a natural recommend. If you're interested in seeing a bromance and cute fantasy creatures then this webtoon is a natural recommend. If you're interested in seeing how many ways a man's face can twist when pressuring someone to sign a contract then this webtoon is a natural recommend. Otherwise this webtoon is just simple recommend. I liked it, even if it is dumb at times. Note: There's a light novel that this is based on, which I have no interest in reading.
