The reliance on the luck stat is just the writers laziness. They can hand wave a lot of stuff happening to the character as "luck" instead of putting in any work. And it is just a copy of a lot of other game oriented comics. So far it's still decent. Let's hope it continues.
so the dev not only created a boss, that no one fights , even created special dialogs and scenario for it, that no one will see ? still sounds like bad game design
