I will repost my reasons to dislike light here (from other thread), as I think is relevant to the thread.

Let's see what he did through the series:

- Aiming at small fries- (This one I think it is the autor's mistake, because it is not shown as an issue in manga/anime). Kira only killed criminals shown in media. It mean he only killed people arrested or known by media. So he couldn't kill unknown criminals (like most active criminals and criminal masterminds like himself).

- Badly aiming criminals He judged people just by seeing media, not by reading minds or deep investigations (It mean every people framed, unjustly arrested, or committing criminal acts to save other people being killed). It is almost like having death penalties without trials. And note he judged people using only his own corrupted Kira's sense of justice.

- Killing innocents without second thought or remorse Anime/manga DID shown he killing and making people kill too many innocent people. He even hand his book to the 1st greedy person out there for few months, just to misguide L. And he killed anyone trying to get him, even when it wasn't necessary anymore (Like when he deceived Ray Penber to think he was innocent, waited a week and then killed him).

- Enjoying killing- EVEN when killing innocents, he enjoyed his power of taking lives and not ever once lost a night sleep for it. He even mocked most non-criminals he killed. (Ray penber, his fiancee, and L, for examples)

Also I noticed most people think he was different (not murderer) before getting Death note. It is even suggested by Near that he lost his senses to Death Note and Death Gods, and after his downfall it shows how he was before the Note.

But I disagree. through the story, in Light's thinking, it clearly shows that he always wanted to be a policeman just to execute criminals. It is why he quickly start to use Death note in the 1st place. As stated by Ryuk, he never saw before a human putting so many names in so few days. Actually, it is even a pivot to his plot to bring L down. As he himself explained, he erased his own mind from Death Note because he KNEW that he would try to hiddenly find kira before L to kill him, having high chances of him getting the Death Note before L.
