Those series are different. There is a far more subjective sense of right and wrong in those series. Not so in Death Note. In relation to Death Note, you cannot say who is good and who is bad, and therefore have to go by order of importance when deciding who is the protagonist, deuaratogonist, tritagonist, antagonist, etc. In those series that you mentioned, protagonist takes on a different meaning, which is, yes, hero. However, such cannot be applied to Death Note.

As for the two new articles, they're okay. Thus far, at least, A New Note has seemed more like a string of events than an overarching plot, although that is subject to chance.
