I mean, it's Chess. 0 luck, 0 bullshit. If you lose, it's 100% on you, no questions asked.
As for the website, I don't think it's possible to talk about it without comparing it to chess.com. Obviously, being the cheap bastard I am, I prefer lichess because it's simply free to use all of their features. The lichess analysis system is more than sufficed, with it using Stockfish version 16.
The puzzles are very plentiful and sorted into appropriate themes. You can easily get lost in them for hours, instead of chess.com where you need to purchase a membership to get more than 3 a day.
The learning modules are great but maybe less good than chess.com, where chess.com has videos on openings and exercises to do thereafter. I guess it's a good thing that YouTube exists so that those who use lichess can simply use that instead.
The only huge difference between the two for the gameplay itself, is definitely the premove system. Lichess does not allow multiple premoves in a row, but the premoves are instantaneous and take off no time off your clock. Whether or not this is better than multiple premoves with each one taking 0.1 off your clock, is up for debate. For me, I prefer lichess'.
Overall, I simply recommend new players to simply use lichess starting out. There's really no reason not to, it's free god damn it. Maybe once you start getting deep into it, you can play on chess.com.

The (slight) advantage is only sustained given the player playing white plays constant best moves throughout the game, which is exceedingly rare even at GM levels.
