Can you please suggest me a story, where MC is a manipulative liar? Someone who can lies, knowing that they are lying, knowing why they do it, and being ok with it. In word and in action. And lie often, and it being impactful on the story.
I'm tired of honest boyscouts. They seem to be everywhere these days.
Not a liar, but a sociopath MC. MC's wife is a writer and she may be planning to kill him off, or she may be planning her next story. So he decides to act first.

Similar to the above. Revenge fantasy, MC is jailed for the antagonist's crimes. Gets out and seeks revenge on her.
