A volume that made us feel the gradual end of the story. We saw the death of a character whom we had known since the beginning of the series. After what happened in the previous volume, the character didn't have much life left as a character anyway. Still, his death was sad. Looking at the actual story, Light started to have difficulty repelling the attacks coming from two sides. We can no longer see his almost perfect plans. Instead, he is advancing by taking risks and suffering losses. Although the post-L period in the series offers a different flavor, I think it is still going well. Even if neither Mello nor Near gives a very special feeling as characters after L, they are performing their roles in the story well.

The series has taken an interesting turn with the events following L's death. Light's situation has become more precarious, and it's fascinating to see how he tries to navigate through the challenges. The new characters, Mello and Near, bring their own dynamics to the story, adding new layers of complexity. While they may not have the same charm as L, they are essential in driving the plot forward.

Overall, despite the changes and losses, the series continues to be engaging and keeps us on the edge of our seats, wondering what will happen next.

I really like the ingenuity with which they are written. However, at the same time, this book has become a bit heavy for me.

It might be because I have been spending a lot of time with it, and perhaps I need a break to gain a fresh perspective.

The concepts and ideas presented in the book are quite complex, and it requires a lot of concentration and effort to fully understand them.

But despite its heaviness, I still appreciate the value that it holds.

It has taught me many new things and has challenged my thinking in ways that I never thought possible.

Maybe I just need to find a way to approach it differently, to make it more accessible and enjoyable for me.

I will continue to persevere and see what else I can learn from this book.

The original article is not provided, so I can't rewrite and expand it specifically. However, I can give you a general example of how to expand an article to about 300 words with line breaks:

**Original Article**:
The dog is running in the park. It is very happy.

**Expanded Article**:
The dog is running freely in the park.

It seems to be filled with joy and energy.

The wind gently blows through its fur, and its tail wags excitedly.

It chases after a butterfly, enjoying the moment of freedom and play.

The park is a beautiful place for the dog to have fun and explore.

It meets other dogs and greets them with a friendly bark.

The sun shines brightly above, making the whole scene look warm and inviting.

The dog's happiness is palpable, and it brings a smile to the faces of those who watch it.

Running in the park is truly a wonderful experience for this lively and happy dog.

Reading this series might actually be the thing that kills me.


description


In this volume, Light and his crew are closing in on both Mello and Near. However, Light's actions have also led Near and Mello to narrow their Kira suspect list down to just one: him. This situation is extremely tense, as I have already mentioned. It's like a ticking time bomb, and I can't help but feel on the edge of my seat while reading.


Actual footage of me whilst reading this series:

As a point of interest, I wonder if anyone who reads Death Note doesn't root for Light/Kira. And if so, why? Secondly, does that mean they can actually read this without getting a metaphorical heart attack every other page? I find myself completely invested in the story and Light's character, despite his morally ambiguous actions. But I'm curious to hear other people's perspectives.

* My Opinion *
Hui, now I'm flat. The last audiobook had already drawn me under its spell, but this one tops it once again.

Even though five years have passed, the book starts exactly where the other one ended. The different levels were very well connected and the listener is once again all-knowing. This doesn't help him, but it makes the whole thing even more exciting.

Light's development surprised me and I still don't know what to think of it. Also, the other already known characters show new facets that give the plot more pep. The author doesn't skimp on surprises and twists and I wonder again and again where all this is leading.

The speakers breathe life into the characters and convey feelings and thoughts. I felt right in the middle of it and the sound effects also contributed to this. Overall, the technicians have once again implemented everything super and combined it appropriately.

The author's writing style is loose and fluffy, so the story comes across as entertaining. The short hour of the audio play is far too short and passes even faster.

There are damn curious 5 Erb-stars and I'm excited to see how everything unfolds in the next three audiobooks.


* Book Blurb *
Five years have passed since L and his team took away the DEATH NOTE from Kyosuke Higuchi. In the meantime, Light has completed his training at the police academy and officially takes over his father's position as the head of the Japanese Kira investigations. Shortly after that, an unknown person named Mello kidnaps Light's little sister Sayu and demands a DEATH NOTE as a ransom. But the handover goes very differently than planned...

Kira is truly in a complex situation as he is pitted against both Mellow and Near, yet he seems to be playing by the rules of both their game fields. It's简直令人难以置信 (It's简直incredible). He's like a mastermind teaching even the devil himself. However, I'm still mourning the death of L. Damn it! He really deserved better than just having a stubborn heir and a rival to his heir. And to make matters worse, in the anime version, Mellow is like a wooden rag doll. What the hell? In the manga series, he's an actual person with strange taste buds for chocolate, but not in the anime? It's really quite strange and makes one wonder about the differences between the two adaptations.

If Kira is captured, he is a villain. If Kira conquers the world, then he is good. History is written by the victors. But who is really pulling the strings here? N and Mello are competing with each other to see who will capture Kira first, while the latter continues to weave complex plans for domination into motion. Sometimes he takes a step forward. But more often than not, he is pressured by the circumstances.

The story becomes increasingly complicated and interesting. This particular volume wasn't quite a five-star one, but it still held the maximum curiosity. So much so that I picked up the next title in the series.

It's a thrilling tale of cat and mouse, with Kira's actions and the responses of N and Mello creating a web of intrigue. The question of whether Kira is truly good or evil remains ambiguous, adding to the allure of the story. As the plot thickens, readers are left on the edge of their seats, eager to discover what will happen next.

Will Kira succeed in his plans for world domination, or will N and Mello manage to stop him? Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure - this is a story that will keep readers hooked from start to finish.

My interest in this manga is gradually dwindling.

At first, I was completely captivated by its unique storyline and vivid illustrations. However, as the plot progresses, it seems to have lost some of its initial charm.

Despite this, I am determined to see it through until the end. I believe that there might still be some unexpected twists and turns that could reignite my passion for it.

Moreover, I have invested a significant amount of time and energy into following this manga, and I don't want to give up halfway.

I will continue to read each new chapter, hoping to discover something that will make me fall in love with it all over again.

Even if my interest doesn't fully return, I will at least have the satisfaction of knowing that I saw the story through to its conclusion.

This story no longer amuses me. Light's "investigation" to "find" himself is too much, and everyone accepts his dubious explanations and no one questions the information he magically obtains. And Near is a clone of L, even thinking in percentages.

This volume was all filler. The deaths of important characters never affect the story or the other characters at all. How can that be?

Besides, I'm really tired of them overexplaining everything. They explain things that were literally said in the previous panel. That said, I do highlight the merit of the panel with the most text I've ever seen in a manga or graphic novel, and which is obviously repeated in a summarized form in the next panel.

I have little hope for the volumes that follow.

**Title: The Wonders of Nature**

Nature is a truly remarkable and awe-inspiring creation.

It offers us a plethora of beautiful and diverse landscapes, from majestic mountains to vast oceans, from lush forests to serene deserts.

The colors, textures, and sounds of nature are a source of无尽的 inspiration and joy.

We can observe the delicate beauty of a flower blooming, the grace of a bird in flight, or the power of a thunderstorm.

These experiences connect us with the natural world and remind us of the importance of protecting it.

By taking the time to appreciate and respect nature, we can enhance our own well-being and contribute to the preservation of our planet for future generations.

More of the same, but this one, at least for me, was more captivating and entertaining compared to some of the others. There were enough significant plot twists, realignments of alliances, and yes, major characters being removed from the story to keep the reader on the edge of their seats.


Having (admittedly, slowly yet somewhat methodically) made my way through three-quarters (or, indeed, 75 percent) of the initial run, and having purchased the box set some time ago, there is no longer much doubt about whether I will finish this. And that is relatively uncommon, considering my tendency to walk away from (or lose interest in rather than persevere with) most manga series that I have begun. It is simply a matter of when.


For the record, I still have no clue where it will end up, but for me, that is more of an advantage than a drawback.

The scope that this Kira war took in this volume was truly quite entertaining. It is fascinating to observe just how much tolerance individuals can have towards his judgment and how society undergoes evolution in accordance with his agenda.

Mello's and Near's hunt for Kira's identity was also rather captivating in this installment. The strategies they employ are indeed impressive, showing their sharp intellect and resourcefulness.

However, the downside of this volume is the death of that one particular character. I found this death to be much more powerful and impactful than the other series-changing death. It leaves a profound mark and adds a layer of complexity to the story.

Yours truly,
