Always a Catch stands out in the crowded fantasy market by stripping away the typical "hero" tropes. The story follows Yu Sato, a boy who endured horrific abuse in the real world only to be transported to a realm where his "Steal" and "Deprive" skills allow him to take anything from his enemies—from their items to their very lives. It is a visceral tale of revenge, tactical combat, and the heavy psychological price of power.
