If you are solely farming node L, and if you have a 45% retreat rate, that isn't RNG. There is something seriously wrong with your fleet. An L node farming fleet shouldn't be retreating at all, even on hard mode.

Maximize your day damage. Remove every piece of night battle equipment out of your fleet. Bring  Abukuma K2 and all three CLTs. Use Kitakami and Ooi with a DA setup; use Abukuma and Kiso in a torpedo cut-in setup to maximize the opening torpedo strike. Your escort DDs should have AACI.

Add a FCF to the main fleet, so you don't retreat anymore.
