L is not “emotionless” as others claim, he does care about others, even if it’s not blatantly obvious. He’s not some emotionless machine like he presents himself. He cares about Watari and worries more about him than himself during his death. He warns the task force members about the shinigami despite knowing he’s probably next on the list. He doesn’t guilt trip Aizawa into staying in the task force despite the mission being beneficial with more members and takes care of the entire task force’s family financially. He does genuinely respect Light intellectually and he actually liked(?) amnesiac Light. (only Yotsuba arc, it’s canon that he dislikes Light). He warns Aizawa not to go to Sakura TV because he knows that it’s going to kill him. (He was visibly distressed in the manga, though it’s less obvious in the anime) He saves Matsuda 2 times during the case despite it being extra work for him. He’s selfless enough to put his own life at risk for the Kira Case and not complain about it. H
Obviously he is still morally grey as the main motive for his actions is to stimulate himself, he describes it as beating a video game. Not to mention the lengths he would take to solve a case, bordering on illegal/morally dubious (eg: traumatising Light and Misa by making him believe Soichiro is going to kill them, Torturing Misa and using any method possible in order to extract information on her for being the second Kira, willing to risk the lives of several innocents in order to find out how Higuchi kills). However it’s also innacurate to say that L has no emotions and that every single act of kindness he does is purely for the sake of manipulating others when he canonically does have trouble expressing emotions. He’s not someone to be idolised, however it’s an overstatement to claim he’s just as bad as Light when unlike Light and Mello he doesn’t actively put innocents at risk. A lot of his morally grey actions csn be somewhat justified by the fact that there’s a mass murderer on the loose. He’s a complex character and his morally dubiousness is the reason why I’m drawn to him. His childishness and his own way of expressing emotions are very endearing and I find him quite relatable.
