This chapter gave me some strong Coiling-Dragon vibes, not in a good way.
The author would always create new characters, and then just dump them by having the MC move away to somewhere else. Everything and everyone is a side-thought, and people have no meaning.
Family, pets, friends, rivals -- nobody matters.
Just like how the tiger, here, became a total after-thought in how much of a small role it has. Why the hell is it even in the story? It's not even there "just to be cute in the background", because it's not even there.
