    Well, the author's writing style is so-so, but I really love the character setup. The protagonist transmigrates into the body of the biggest villain and begins his path to redemption. Most importantly, the protagonist is always incredibly powerful, always feared by everyone, and always maintains that chaotic neutrality or chaotic friendliness—that arrogant, self-assured confidence and conceit. There's no "pretending to be weak to fool others and getting slapped in the face" trope; after all, the protagonist is a tiger! Then there's the information asymmetry inherent in the protagonist's transmigration and the "I'm on my way to redemption, but you don't know; even if you did, you'd still fear and be afraid of me" dynamic—that's the most satisfying part. It's just that this author is quite lazy, updating only once every two or three days…
