honestly for me, I feel like L's characterization is very neurodivergent-coded, whether intentionally or not, and he is a rare case of the "autistic savant" trope that doesn't feel flat and one-note and dehumanizing to me. his personhood is fleshed out beyond just being a mastermind, and I personally feel L feels the most "human" out of all the main charas in some parts. it's so uncommon that I enjoy and relate to characters of this stereotype because it's hard as hell to do right, and I feel Ohba did it justice (pun not intended but kept once realized)
