I was thinking about getting back into death note. I liked it initially but I felt turned off when the number of coincidences that needed to occur became unrealistic in my mind almost immediatly.
However an excelent review pointed out its psychological apsects so I felt interested in focusing on that.

However I just wanted to get some questions answered beforehand in a way that wouldn't cause spoilers.

It seems to me that the deathnote can control reality and minds in a way that feels very unlimited.

As long as you just say "And then they die" at the end they will do anything ever even if it wouldn't make sense for that person to do.
Can't this be used for unlimited power?
"And then X person fails to catch me and hands over all their money to Y and then they die of a heart attack"

Seems like such a wide and flimsy clause.
