If you’ve just finished The Greatest Real Estate Developer and are still buzzing from that mix of humor, strategy, and pure hype, you’re probably wondering what to read next. Don’t worry I’ve got you covered. Here are some manhwa that scratch that same itch, each one bringing something unique to the table. Let’s dive in!
1.
Happy Face: From Slave to Arena Legend
Okay,
let’s start with one of the most underrated gems out there, Happy Face.
Honestly, I don’t know why this manhwa isn’t blowing up the way it deserves to.
In just 16 chapters, it delivers some of the most emotional and powerful
storytelling I’ve seen. The main character, who was, doesn’t just survive, he
evolves. Through pure charisma and inner strength, he earns a family and even
influences people so much that they are willing to sacrifice their lives for
him. That level of impact? Goosebumps. And then there’s William, his loyal
companion, whose friendship adds even more depth to the journey. The bond
between them is both heartbreaking and inspiring, making every scene hit way
harder. This manhwa might not be in the spotlight, but trust me, it’s a GOAT tier
read.

What a Bountiful Harvest, Demon Lord!
Next up, we’ve got BK_Moon’s latest masterpiece,
What a Bountiful Harvest, Demon Lord!. If you loved The
Greatest Real Estate Developer, you’re going to enjoy this one because it’s
literally set in the same universe. But here’s the twist: instead of building
castles or managing estates, the protagonist, who’s reincarnated as a Demon
Lord, decides to farm.
Yes, FARMING.
Sounds silly at first, but the way it’s written is just genius. Instead of
fighting endless wars, he grows crops to feed his starving demons, and through
this ‘simple’ act, he starts reshaping the entire dynamic between humans and
demons.
It’s hilarious, creative, and surprisingly
wholesome. Plus, the references and ties back to The Greatest Real Estate
Developer make it even more fun for fans who love connected worlds.

Nano Machine
Now, let’s talk about the hype Nano
Machine. This is one of those manhwas that makes you sit up at 3 a.m.
whispering, “Just one more chapter…” and then suddenly it’s morning.
Cheon Yeo Woon is the definition of an underdog turned absolute monster.
He goes from being bullied and humiliated to
becoming an unstoppable force thanks to the futuristic nano machines
implanted in him. But what makes this story so good
isn’t just the OP powers it’s how he uses them.
Every
fight is brutal, every political move in the Murim world is intense, and the
weight of carrying such godlike abilities really gets to him. It’s part revenge
story, part survival, part power fantasy, and it all blends into something
unforgettable. If you want a manhwa that delivers both insane action and
emotional depth, this is the one.
4.
King of Violence
Finally,
we have King of Violence, and let me just say this one hit
differently. Unlike the fantasy and sci-fi settings of the others, this manhwa
is grounded, raw, and honestly kind of terrifying. It follows Lee Gilsoo,
who thinks he’s escaping bullying by transferring schools, only to end up in a
place where violence isn’t just common, it’s a full-on system. The way this
story portrays the brutality of school hierarchies, survival of the fittest,
and the mental toll it takes on the characters is just so real. It’s not flashy,
it’s painful, emotional, and absolutely gripping. Watching Gilsoo adapt and
fight back is both heartbreaking and inspiring, and if you’ve ever wanted a
story that feels more human and raw, this one’s for you.
