Senku even predicted that he would need to fake his own death even when he woke up 6 month before he even knew Tsukasa, and left a part of the stone in place to fake it, that's how far he thought ahead. Like it's not fair when they don't give light the opportunities to show his intelligence, because the show is not about how smart he is but a cat and mouse chase between light and L.
Stone's whole story is built on the fact that senku is an unimaginable genius. For me, liking Lookism was more of a journey than a natural occurring. It's unfair to compare the two because Senku is made to be so crazy powerful. I started reading this in 2017, in my native language. The website I read from stopped translating and I was left waiting for more. For more than a year, my views of this story were the same: Lookism was a enjoyable, but not standout, webtoon.
