Synopsis
Sora Aizawa possesses a rare space-based ability that seemingly makes him a magnet for criminals. Since childhood, he has been frequently taken hostage or targeted by villains, leading him to question if his power is actually just a curse for attracting danger. This story reads like a misfortune-magnet trope blended with a slow-burn BL romance in a superhero-inspired setting. It is ideal for readers who enjoy episodic plot-driven narratives and characters who grow from perceived weakness to competence. However, those seeking immediate romantic payoff or a traditional, aggressive power fantasy should skip it. The pacing is structured around the protagonist's education at UA and beyond, with its standout quality being the irony of a hero who is perpetually the victim of circumstance.

Editorial Review
The novel benefits from a clear structural progression, moving the protagonist through distinct life stages from junior high to his professional career. This provides a satisfying sense of growth and chronological stability. However, with only 116 chapters to cover several years of development and a wide array of criminal encounters, some transitions feel abrupt. The decision to prioritize plot over the emotional line means the romance is underdeveloped for a significant portion of the text. Given the extremely low visibility indicated by the signals, the work remains an obscure entry in its genre. While the premise is quirky and humorous, the execution relies heavily on a repetitive kidnapping gimmick that may wear thin over time.
