The Big Landlord Chapter 127 Discussion

Pure poor-to-rich kind of novel! The MC is a transmigrator with a mysterious background. He's pretty OP (has a lot of knowledge about very obscure stuff) and has a solid temperament. He takes the position of the 'stoic' party when it comes to his and the ML's relationship. His own goals aren't very clear, but after transmigration, he starts to protect the An family -- going as far as to go to the Capital to seek a marriage for his sister, only to end up being the bride lolol.

This is my kind of novel~ I find poor-to-rich novels very interesting, so this was just my cup of tea. In other aspects, the novel was a bit weak, so I ended up giving up on it after running out of the TL (the MTL is readable, at least... 70% readable, maybe? If you're used to reading MTL, it should be easier) But, anyway, readable or not, I wasn't really invested in future development. Mainly because the main characters lack drive. What are their aims??? I honestly don't know lmfao. The MC being stoic is fine, I've liked many stoic MCs. But, usually they have some kind of goal, even if its to be a 'salted fish'. This one is a little eh. The ML is a bit better, but he doesn't do much either -- outside of being amusingly shameless.

SO! All in all, while this is my kind of novel, and I would continue reading it if the TL is finished, I'm not interested enough to suffer through the MTL. For those that are interested in poor-to-rich novels like I am, I suggest giving it a shot~ I don't feel regretful even though I didn't finish the novel, so I don't think it would be a loss to try!

CHARACTERS: 5/10

The characters are likeable but a bit too one-dimensional. As mentioned, they're lacking in motivation -- which prevents them from having any fun developments.

An Zinran (MC)

Stoic!Shou. Has a solemn face most of the time, and is a business genius. A bit of a tsundere, but very practical.

Fu Weitian (ML)

Shameless!Gong! He has facial paralysis too, but he's a lot more vocal than our MC~ I would have liked the novel more if his appearances were more than just 'revolving around the MC'.

ROMANCE: 6.5/10

I quite like the banter~ The dynamics are unique too, so I have nothing to complain about in that regard. But it is admittedly a pretty simple development. The romance is not really the focus, I guess.

SETTING: 9/10

Ancient Chinese setting, and it covers quite a few industries in detail. In this way, the novel is definitely of quality. IDK how much actual research went into writing this novel, but the world felt very real.

PLOT: 7/10

This is mainly a face-slapping novel with a money-grubber main character. Outside of family drama, there's also royal family drama (which I assume will be the focus in the latter arcs~). In any case, the plot is fairly simple, since this is slice of life. I don't think that's bad though. Hence the rating.

RATING: 3.43/5

All in all, its a novel that I think is worth trying if you're interested in the poor-to-rich development and the face-slapping. Otherwise, it's probably best to stay away lol. I think I might come back to read it again in the future, though I'm not sure that the TL will progress much with the update schedule T.T
