The character is basically based off of Raymond reddington from blacklist but the author just doesn’t understand the character at all.yes they might do terrible things but it’s always for an overarching reason. He wouldn’t just brutally murder a cop for no visible gain

LIKEStill doesn’t make sense I see many authors do this with cunning characters. The author can see what that character will get before he does it but our characters can’t. The reward risk is not worth it when you kill a cop and the consequences of being found out compared to getting a few dollars of what you would see as a random street criminal. He doesn’t know enough about the situation to be able to judge it as a worthwhile thing to do. A cunning character would just ignore some criminal running past him and find more out about his situation. The leap of faith you talked about is not a cunning character but a bad gambler that maybe got lucky in the end but his chances of winning where like winning the jackpot but paying millions to buy the ticket.
Mr_Cuak:It was like a leap of faith , basically a situation where raymond had analice everything and the gangster has present him an opportunity where he could get things , the only thing he has to do is kill the cop
Thanks for the review, oh yea, authors do it all the time. They know what will happen next and base the character decision on that, not even noticing it makes no sense since the character has no idea. Like choosing a bad reward from a quest or buying something stupid for no reason and wasting all your money, 5 chapters later.... oh look, I just happen to have that thing. Similar concept.

That’s right, authors always confuse cunning with dumb luck
