I didn't like the ending and it was a little messed up.
If you give everyone a huge amount of money, it makes the money worthless or basically inflates the price to account for the massive amount of money everyone now has. If you've ever played an MMORPG, you'll see this when large amounts of cash flood the system especially when that money is not earned; prices increase rapidly because people don't care if they're spending large amounts of money. Another example would be Silicon Valley: A bunch of fresh out of college soon to be professionals are given high paying jobs and they flood the housing market with their newfound money without ever realizing the true value of the dollar so the area became a massive bubble that is so high priced, they actually priced themselves out of the housing market.

Also, hated the ending; the rule was added solely to make the plot feasible for a short one-shot without leaving the book in someone's hands that could leave things open ended. And killing off Minoru without telling him about the new clause while telling the stupid president is a dick move... especially after he gave you all those apples.

Wrong, unless a) it's generated within the closed system, b) you're giving it to EVERYONE within said system, c) it's being printed and not created through debt or actual work. First and second conditions haven't been met, third is extremely unlikely to have had happened, for different financial, socio- and geo-political reasons.

...Near really let himself go. He looks as unkempt as Kinichirou did at the end of his original time through high school.

IDK how the author went and did such a half-assed one-shot just to fit the one-shot story but I guess it's just my opinion but it wasn't even half as good as Light and I feel bad for Minoru dying not knowing about the new rule

Leaving comments in spoilers since I think it should be and because the chapter is offsite.

@SemperSolus
Not sure what you're getting at.

@25mg12
It's Japan, that's as a closed of a system as you'll ever get. You're also giving it to a majority of the population and add to the fact that 0-60 represents almost the entire labor force which for a nation represents the vast majority of the disposable income an economy would generate, you might as well call it the entire population. Heck, does it even matter if its not the whole population?

So suddenly everyone is rich today. What do you think their first action would be? Quit their jobs. So when I get hungry and want to eat, who is going to fling my burgers? No one, they all quit. OK, so I'll make my own burgers. So who do I buy my food from? No one, they all quit. So how do I get a work force to get back to work if they're rich? I have to pay them an appropriate amount that they would be willing to work. But in order for me to pay them that amount, the customer would also have to be willing to pay an appropriate amount to get them to work and don't forget, no one actually earned this money so they have no respect for it and spend it without abandon. Eventually, the market would correct itself so that I can pay employees enough to make them want to work while at the same time, customers would be willing to pay enough for the goods/services. Now, you could argue that Japan would allow immigrants to work in their stead, but that won't happen. 1st, Japan is extremely xenophobic so its unlikely to happen. 2nd, how are they going to get there? Remember, they all quit. That last part is no joke, if enough people in key positions quit, everything can and will fall apart. And why wouldn't they quit? No one likes their jobs and no one likes working.

So lets assume it wasn't the whole population... Yay! We have ourselves some burger flippers... Thank god, I was gonna starve... Or not. Why would I flip burgers? Millions of high paying jobs just opened up and while I may lack skills necessary for that position normally, those businesses have a choice: Hire me or hire someone else who is equally less qualified... or not hire anyone and go under because they can't function properly. So again, we have a problem where the positions need filling and in order to fill them, we need to raise the incentive. Same results regardless.

how did he planned it all if in the first place his memory got deleted after he gave back the death note?
