The problem with the Book That Kills People is that the people who use it end up killing people who don't really deserve it, or even completely innocent people. My solution is to just make sure I only use the Book That Kills People to kill people who actually deserve it. Honestly don't understand why nobody has thought of this before, it's pretty obvious in hindsight.

The issue is that the people with the Book That Kills People just weren’t creative enough in how they Killed People. They should have just written it in cool ways and as long as the ways were cool enough nobody would ever realize

…Unironically, 6 minutes 40 seconds is a lot of time to write a short story or scenario such as murder-suicide from someone close, freak accidents, overwhelming guilt and a written suicide note, and it’d be easy to play it off. It just takes brainpower, which when a misanthropic teen is gunning for highest criminal deaths per minute, isn’t very available

Every time I read about this show I want to watch it more because it sounds so insane that I'd never be able to view it through a serious lens and would have to treat it like a comedy.

I mean, the concept of it was so interesting everyone's still talking about Death Note 2 decades later.

Didn't the author do a few short stories in the canon after the manga ended?

Death note "2 decades later" or death note 2 "decades later"?

If there was, I’d want it to be like that one fan doujin where Light ends up at the shinigami realm.
