Your reads weren't actually bad...I think the worst part about your play this game was not making yourself a clear enough town presence, you confused the fuck out of me when you demanded me to claim right at the end of the day, because that plays into the mafia's hands exactly. It's one thing for Ekko to do it. But you said "Nope I see nothing wrong here lol"
Probably easier, in my opinion. In that example setup, town have three mislynches and three mislynches only. In this one, if the town mass claims then they have at worst 2.5 mislynches (Alibaba being the .5). What it ultimately required was for players to give up trying to use flavour as a means to work the game out, which can be easier said than done. It's a source of information, but I think (at least when I host again) players will give pause to using it to clear a player. On average for this game, town has about 4 mislynches, which it more or less reached here (Alibaba making it 3.5 I guess but he was an extension of the town).
I was thinking mafia probably didn’t have fake claims. So I wanted to make you and Lanji both claim to see if either might fuck up and get CC’d or claim a super obscure character (even more than the secondary characters most of us were).
You not claiming had me worried that it meant you were scum without a fake claim. In hindsight assuming mafia problems didn’t have fake claims was a dumb baseless assumption and I’ll never make it again lol.

That being said I think my setups tend to be pretty difficult. I think this one was potentially difficult for scum, a lot needed to go right for them this time around. I think asking the town to move past the assumption that L is dead is also difficult, even if the flavour hints at it. So I wouldn't say it's an easy game for either side. If the town mass claim, it becomes extremely easy for the Mafia.
@Ekkologix meant to tag you, just an extension to my response.

I would hesitate to call it "dumb". You don't have any hosting meta on me, so you couldn't know what I would or wouldn't do. And Death Note has a large cast, especially when I feel like flexing my familiarity with the tertiary additions to the series. But I haven't hosted a game that was solved via flavour, though a couple of my early ones came close to it, so moving forward it should probably be assumed that Mafia have fake claims unless the flavour doesn't inform alignment at all.
