I Reincarnated as the Villain Commander of an Order of Knights (Manga) Vol. 1

One man realizes he’s been reborn into a light novel and is on track to a bad ending if he can’t turn things around! But can he change people’s perception by going from a villainous commander to a big brother type?! A hilarious isekai manga about avoiding ruin by being a better man!

Justin is the arrogant, ruthless commander of an order of knights whose very name strikes fear into those around him. But one day, he remembers his previous life as a college student who spent his days caring for his seven younger brothers. Based on those memories, this world is the setting of a light novel—and his future holds only one ending: ruin brought on by his own villainous deeds.

Determined to change his fate, Justin resolves to correct his behavior and whip his knights into shape using the "big brother" skills he developed in his previous life. But the villainous commander's unexpected good deeds soon begin to shake not only his order, but the entire kingdom!
