Short answer: if you like Shinso, it's worth reading simply based off of that. Regardless of plot and other characters, the exploration and spotlight of Shinso and the ramifications of his "villianous" quirk on his relationships with others and the unique perspective and dimension that he adds to the show, this story is for you. Have fun <3!
Long answer: Shinso gives Izuku a run for his money for the title of "unstoppable under-dog protagonist of MHA". The first chapter immediately sets the tones and themes for the rest of the story (that we've seen so far) through a cringy and pathetic Buzzfeed-esque "Top Ten Villianous Quirks", consisting of villians and an *honorable mention* of Shinso Hitoshi himself (the story takes place shortly after the Sports Festival). The idea of people's perceptions of villianous quirks, and Hitoshi's experiences with said quirk. Shinso's constant wariness and awareness of how people percieve his quirk is turned on its head when he has to go undercover, and it shows. The author, I feel, did a very good job at keeping the characterizations in line with canon, and in line with general logic. There's nothing wrong with enjoying an overpowered MC, but I enjoyed how Shinso could be shy, angry, scared, or just plain overwhelmed by some of the circumstances he finds himself in. It makes it all the more satisfying when he overcomes those obstacles, and reminds you that he really is just a high-schooler doing his best in a world that couldn't care less.
There were very little typos, if any, and the writing style is casual enough where the dialogue and narration flow naturally without subtracting from the experience. Aizawa and Shinso's teacher/partner/father-figure relationship is top-tier, and the villian arc (where the story is currently) does a really good job of exploring what Shinso's life would have been like if things had been slightly different. The villians are portrayed as varying ranges of what is considered "evil" with Kurogiri on one end and Shigaraki on the other, but they are all portrayed as humans who have feelings and motivations and such. They are so humanised that I almost wish they weren't, because it just makes me feel bad that Shinso will have to betray them eventually. But yes, good characters, good plot, good story. 10/10, will be re-reading again.
