If you write "person xyz dies in a month" you have plenty of time to write down thousands of names before the first one dies, and in all this time you can always make the reasonable assumption that it won't work anyways.

a more advanced version of the death note, would be control devil contract from chainsawman, she only needs to hear the name to instantly kill the person, instead of a time delayed time bomb.

Ahhh, but if you attempt to kill someone and the fact that it could be a freebie is part of your decision process then it isn't a freebie. So having read this you no longer get a freebie.

I think I have to disagree on this one. Whether or not you believed it would work is irrelevant. The malicious intent is what matters here. You happened to find a supernaturally accursed notebook titled "Death Note" and you decide to write someone's name in it? That already crosses the moral line imo, independent of any actual effects.

Counterarguments welcome.

Is it malicious intent of you write your own name in it?

Step one to claiming ownership of a notebook, TBF.
