Unheroic Life of a Certain Cape

Synopsis

In a society where superpowered individuals are treated as pariahs, a school dropout turns to petty crime to survive. What begins as simple store robberies to pay the bills quickly spirals out of control as the protagonist attracts the attention of far more dangerous players. This narrative reads like a gritty, street-level urban fantasy, heavily utilizing the 'reluctant villain' trope and mirroring the dark atmosphere of series like Worm. It is designed for readers who enjoy visceral action and stories centered on social alienation and moral ambiguity. Those seeking traditional heroic archetypes or a lighthearted tone should skip this title. The story stands out for its focus on long-term character growth and a setting where superpowers have existed since before the Dark Ages, providing a unique historical layer to its violent pacing.
