    A lucky MC but his luck takes a important role in the plot/series or just the fights.
    Something like "Hardcore Leveling Warrior" or "100 Luck and the Dragon Tamer Skill!"
    Or like in yureka where a character abused his high luck to deal critical strikes.
    A MC abusing it for casinos wouldn't be bad but somehow i feel he would be a scumbag that plays with women.

    If there is only one mention of luckiness and soon forgotten, no thx.
    Ex: https://www.novelupdates.com/series...-but-i-cant-seem-to-get-out-of-being-jobless/
    He changes his bonus classes into lucky ones to cheat in rock paper scissor.

    Edit: I heard in Overgeared the MC is ultra lucky but also heard he is quite a scum. So no thx.

    I haven't read it in awhile, but here is one of the lucky moments that stood out to me:
    One of the characters that is extremely dangerous generally disapproves of ranged fighters, thinking they are weak. He decides to test the MC's resolve by throwing a punch that would easily kill the MC with no signs of stopping at the last second. The MC doesn't flinch and the dangerous guy walks away satisfied. The reason? The MC got distracted by a fly landing on his nose right before the attack was launched.

    Like Cataporozo said The Strongest Gene. The story and the MC's power is all based literally on LUCK

    He use his early free point to increase his luck bit by bit, and sometimes by luck, he got more..
    Lots of his skill are luck related, such as the percentage in enhancing, the random item generator, etc..
    Luck also play a factor on other things, such as avoiding fatal moments, etc..
    Actually I don't remember much of it, so I just say (etc)..

    Have you read this novel 'To Be a Power in the Shadows!'?
    If you didn't, let me summarize it, Mc basically made up a story on the spot about an imaginary evil organisation which surprisingly turned to actually exist just as he described, and that is just a small bit of how lucky he is

    like casually fling a dagger in a map and turn out to be the hideout of the enemy...but this is just plot armor instead of luck...

    Usually people complain when ass pull after lucky ass pull with luck/plot device, but this is the first time I find someone looking for it. It is interesting, but you can try this: -redacted-(I gave this link as the link on Novelupdates goes to qidian/webnovel and you need spirit stones for it)
    The MC’s luck stat is actually horrible (1 with 0 being the lowest possible value, and in the raws, he even amusingly gets an ability that can more or less give normally lucky people luck as bad as him called luck curse) but luck does play a role with various things in that world and story. One of the best specialties in the universe is actually luck aura that marks you as a key protagonist character (which Mc doesn’t have but he in the raws he rubs some other lucky people for good luck when needed). Point is, luck in this story is ephemeral, but acknowledged (especially by big powerhouses that know from experience what luck can do such as critical hits and stuff) as an actual force (it even has a dedicated stat for it and all).
    Not sure if it will be what you want, but still a good read.

    No i kinda agree that it's more plot armor. Everything turning in his favor is also plot armor.
    Somehow i feel it's used more for comedy relief then true plot. Unless you tell me he spam steal or got another luck related skill beside steal and the archery one he got in season 2.

    Did he steal something else then panties with steal after season 2?

    Actually, regarding to how he got it to be OP, there was supposed to be a max for certain stats that are non-growth. During initial bonus stat location, he was like hey what if i put it in there. Ending up with a number no mortal could have.
    As soon as he thought he found an exploit, the system updated and prevented further 'exploiting'.

    so he's like 9.1/10 luck where human max would be 9, but common maybe 4 or less.
    Anything chance related will turn out well 2/3 of the time. Like gambling or gaining additional benefits at times.

    A good recommendation as luck play a huge role in it. But sadly it's not for me as it seems like like you said MC doesn't have a high luck.
