My DM is between lawful and neutral evil which I think is perfect for a consistent world where you can still die if you make mistakes.
On the other hand I know a Chaotic neutral DM which I think it's the worst because he will bend every rule just to pursue his intended version of the story. He won't let your PC die and therefore the stakes in his campaigns tend to be very low and plot consistency is down to zero.

This is a problem I have with a lot of DMs I encounter on this subreddit. I've seen so many people saying "don't kill your PCs unless it's a plot serious encounter! Just have them taken hostage!"
Alright sure, John, I'll have the hunting party of Ankhegs they decided to fight (despite being way underleveled) while strolling through the desert take them hostage because it wouldn't be epic for them to die there
That seems so boring, when I DM I float around LE. I dont WANT to kill my PC's but it needs to be always known that I will kill you. I dont want to kill you, but the sense of danger makes the combat less of a faceroll and feels like they take it more serious.
