What I have learned from all these stories is dont risk your life for the world because your family/sect gets fucked over in the end.

None of what you're stating here is a valid sale. And the reason for that is one of the issues you state: "... in Light's heart for their heinous act back in Chapter 1 (Chapter 0 for both WN and LN) has shattered a 2-year long friendship he once cherished."

Take a step from the story and look at the meta. How does the READER understand the weight of two years without proper context clues? With very, VERY few flashbacks aimed toward the villains? Answer is, they don't. It's not covered (as of this chapter). So for all the reader knows, Light's making his way across the country on a homicidal streak against a party that tricked him in one labyrinth.

Yes, there ARE flashbacks, but they're usually filling in "How the villain got here" (which is background-detailing info almost completely irrelevant to Light's quest), or it's Light power-leveling in the Last Dungeon. Take those away, we're left to assume a complex relationship based on what the author TOLD us, but never SHOWED us.

Therefore, these actions after capturing feel hollow. We aren't shown the torture of his former comrades, we're told they're very painful and miserable. That isn't good enough for the shallow establishment of the primary plot. What we've been shown instead, in static repetition, is Light being underestimated, Light cock-slapping his opponents with this Lv 9999 skills, then Light hauling them off for some off-screen torture.

In short, it's a shounen OP adventure masquarading as a revenge story.

Marian no Danzan, Redo of Healer, The Hero Who Seeks Revenge Shall Exterminate With Darkness—in these revenge stories, the crimes are displayed, often in bullish & gory detail. The revenge isn't hidden away or neatly-filed, but brutal, well-earned, paced, and are typically karmic in view of the very crimes committed. Here, Light cockslaps the opponent in a manner appropriate to a shounen title and then files them away for maybe (hopefully) some later actual karmic punishment. It doesn't measure. As just stated, it's easier to take the story in as an OP main character in a shounen adventure book than as a revenge tale.

tl;dr Because the author's more interested in TELLING over SHOWING, the actual plot hook (the revenge) is just vanilla cringe.
