Why did MC's luck (LUK/LUC) stat decrease from 4 to 2? It makes no sense. Or is it normal for this stat to fluctuate randomly, perhaps even daily?

Actually, this story never did explain how and why certain stats increase. Though, at one point MC did attribute an increase in her Dexterity due to increasing her Blacksmithing skill. But that makes zero sense to me!

If any stat should increase due to blacksmithing, it should be Strength and/or Vitality (or perhaps Endurance or Stamina). Blacksmithing involves long hours of repeating pounding metal with a heavy hammer. This requires both strength and stamina, pushing both to their absolute limit. Skills that should push the limit of Dexterity would be something like juggling, sword dancing, dagger throwing, sports such as tennis, or fine detailed work, such as trying to repair a pocket watch or create something finely detailed.

MC's Hitpoints increased by 10, but we don't know why. Perhaps because she's a year older, or because she's fought in life-n-death conflicts and was healed after being injured? Her MP increased, likely from using so much magic all the time. Her Strength did not increase by even 1 point, while Vitality increased by just 1. MGC (Magic skill or Magic control?) increased by 90. And her base Charisma doubled to 24, possibly due to better nutrition and/or growing older by a year. But Luck going down by 2 feels insulting to readers.
