Read the full take

I Am The Fated Villain flips the usual script by putting a villain at the centre. A transmigrator wakes up as a cruel antagonist in a martial-arts world and decides to use the role to his advantage. That bold premise is the series' biggest selling point. The scheming and tactical moves give the story a sharp, fast pace, and the lead's ruthless streak keeps things tense. The art is solid, and the action is clear. The downside is the power climb, which follows familiar cultivation beats. The romance elements are a big part of the cast, and some readers may find them less interesting than the central scheming. The series is still releasing, so there is a lot of road ahead. If you want a villain-led cultivation story with a dark edge, give it a look.
