Luck #1
The Luckless Hero
[LitRPG + Slice of Life + Weak to Strong + Modern]
“Sometimes I feel like I’m in a bad luck wake up, trip on the rug, spill coffee, repeat.”
Set on Earth in the modern day (well, Earth-like… cuz lawyers), this is a weak-to-strong LitRPG story with a twist.
So grab a Grepsi Cola and read about a guy who is literally the world’s unluckiest person… until the System shows up and decides to make his suffering productive.
“Why am I sooooo unlucky?”
A million people have said it. In the case of Malick Tychandros, it’s scientifically, spiritually, cosmically accurate.
Bad things always happen to him.
Bird flies by? Direct hit.
Car running fine? Not anymore.
Shoelaces? Untied at the worst possible moment.
Interview? Cancelled.
Date? Allergic to him somehow.
Then one day, he gets a System that changes everything.
Dun, dun, dun. Dramatic music.
But this isn’t just stats and skills.
Now seven Sins and seven Virtues are awake inside his head—Gluttony whispering about indulgence, Pride demanding greatness, Sloth promising comfort. On the other Justice weighing every action, Temperance urging restraint, Charity pushing sacrifice.
They argue. They tempt. They judge.
They don’t just want him to level up.
They want to decide what kind of man he becomes.
And if he survives long enough to raise all his stats, he might get something beyond the dreams of any human.
This is a light comedy with a LitRPG system. No dark conspiracies. No world-ending apocalypse. Just one unlucky guy, a System, and fourteen cosmic personalities fighting over his life choices.
*Rated PG-13 for language
*No harem
*Weak-to-Strong MC
*Lots of humour
Feeling lucky? Check it out.

Hilarious!
Really enjoyed this, characters were well fleshed out for the most part. MC makes understandable choices. Loved the concept of the 7 deadly sins running his system. Be interesting to see if he catches on in the next book.
Was disappointed not to see his board games friends again though, they seemed like good guys.
I hope the MC uses his monocle on people again. Would be great to see other characters talents.

Ready for some good luck
Will reading this book improve your luck? Probably not, but why not take a risk? Even if it doesn’t improve your luck, it will definitely be a fun read. Gives all new meaning to the line “if I didn’t have bad luck, I wouldn’t have any”.
Looking forward to the next book in the series.

Not good
The writing was describing the story instead of the character living the story, to me it was impersonal so I could not get in the story at all.
