What if I keep the Macbook pro connected while working, but put the power off at night and let it sleep? It is a Macbook Pro 15 2018. Battery is quite alright, cycles at 196. I think the battery goes down by ~2% for about 9 hours sleep. So, if I plug it in in the morning, around 9 o'clock, it'd just go to 100% and stay there until late night. Is it good or bad?
It's neither. Let the battery circuitry handled battery management; that's its job. Charge it when you need to, run on batter when you need to and if you leave it on charge all the time there is no harm.

Leaving the computer plugged in will not damage the computer or the battery. As already stated by ku4hx, let the computer manage the power/charging system. You don't need to try to micro manage what the MacOS does very well.

I am new to Mac, so the question. I have a Lenovo with Windows, which I turned off every evening. It. has 1575 battery cycles, and still going well at 75% battery level, 5-6 hours a day from charge to charge, 20% to 100% twice a day. Considering a MBP, it has such a small battery.
Maybe, my question had been asked frequently here. Anyway, like you guys said, I'm going to let the MBP manage the battery like Lenovo did with its battery.
