L is a controversial anti-hero motivated by boredom, Light may of started off with good intentions but jumped the slippery slope almost immediately and was a sadistic serial killer (even called out as such) who murdered innocent cops doing their jobs, anyone who insulted his work as Kira and planned to kill even lazy people.

Neither of the two are saints and both are cruel but the narrative does paint Light as more a villain than hero and he never considered himself a fool but anyone who crossed him. Also L's goal was to get enough evidence to convict Light with hopes of getting him either sentenced to death for his crimes or a life sentence as otherwise he could of easily killed him upon meeting him but didn't.
