Lord of the Mysteries has smart characters written stupidly.
Ciel Dubois from Circle of Inevitability is a smartly written smart character. When Ciel kills a hotel room full of three people he books the room next door so he can examine it, finding which walls he can stab and shoot through, what flammable materials there are, whether there is enough space to break-dance, etc. This is a smart thing to do because Ciel is a smart person who is written by another smart person who understands how smart people think.
If Detective Sherlock Moriarty from Lord of the Mysteries were to kill a hotel room full of three people. He'd enter using a secret door in the hotel he found via divination. He'd throw a mystic item infected by True Creator ravings near one guy causing him to lose control. The second person would then immediately die, as planned, as it's a "reasonable development" for the woman to be torn to shreds by the first guy who turned into a mad monster. As for the third man, why Sherlock doesn't kill him at all. It's a reAson.b!e devel0pmenT fOr tHe 3rD mAn to di3 fRom A heArt aTta--- After turning around counter-clockwise, the third man removes his disguise to reveal he actually WAS Sherlock the entire time. But Sherlock just entered through the secret door and killed two people, how can there be two of him? The first Sherlock removes his disguise to reveal that he is actually Lanevus attempting to frame the detective. Sherlock however anticipated this, the two dead people stand up, they're Sherlock's friends, Maric and Sharron, their deaths were just an act. "But Sherlock!" Lanevus cries, "The two of them looked like they clearly lost control or died, the woman even lost her head, how do you explain that?" Because I am better at using the thing behind my glabella, Sherlock inwardly Lampoons, the end.
This is retarded because Sherlock is a smart person written by a stupid person to whom smart people are indistinguishable from wizards.
