  • That sounds like a really intriguing story — the idea of luck turning into both a blessing and a curse makes for a powerful theme. It reminds me a bit of how success can quickly spiral out of control when it’s not grounded in self-awareness. The character’s journey from sudden fortune to self-discovery feels like it’ll resonate with a lot of readers.
