The top review states that this is apparently a very good read if you're a "Death Note fan". I, respectfully, disagree. This short story is absolutely not something I'd recommend to a "Death Note fan" with excitement. Is it Death Note? Sure, yeah I suppose it is and has that similar charm to it, but it's kind of like going from L to Near in the original run. It feels underwhelming, less interesting and overall not as enjoyable and these feelings are only amplified if you were expecting anything interesting to happen. If you want to "hate read" it and then feel somewhat good after ... it ends (the ending redeems the story), then go ahead and read it, otherwise if you're expecting something interesting lore wise or in terms of seriousness and intrigue as the first half of Death Note, well... stay away from this, it's not worth your time.

P.S. I'm only harsh, because the summary, premise and the cover art are all giving the wrong impression.
