He's got a lot of restrictions out of his control, so seeing him succeed under these circumstances makes him endearing. He's not all-powerful, all-seeing or all-knowing. He's just smarter than everyone and does a lot with what he has.

If he didn't have evil intentions, he'd be an awesome protagonist.

Ryuki is like five hundred years old. Unless someone's actively watching it, I don't think avoiding spoilers is super necesary in conversation.

But holy shit, Ryuki is NOT STUCK IN A TIME LOOP. Time does reset at the end, but it's only once. There are only TWO instance of time reset in the entire show. The show takes place in regular time.

Well, I choose to follow the theory about the movie and special being previous time resets, but that's just me.
