Wow, it took Shiroe a long time to make a guild of his own. On the other hand, getting 50 million gold by monopolizing Nyanta's cooking isn't enough to destroy Hamelin and saving the twins.
Still, Akatsuki's dress rape is not safe for children since this show is aired in NHK. |

In MMO, knowledge is real power. Guides on clearing dungeons, specialize skill points, money-making, crafting rare equipment, etc. The top players hold these knowledge as closely guarded secrets, most notably strategies on clearing raid dungeons, the most difficult but rewarding game content.
Just like the real world, nobody gives away power for free. Eventually, the secret may get out, but not before the top players had their time monopolizing the content for all it is worth. The storywriter is clearly well-versed in how MMOs run, which lends the anime an authentic feel. There's nothing wrong with Shiroe keeping the food secret from getting out. A MMO player would look at it and see how he can benefit from something nobody has yet realized. It is not unlike how in the real world, people can charge money for sharing their experience and know-how. |

Besides, the psychological consequences of having shitty parents are different from the the fact that being careless can be a bit painful. Quote:

In a situation where the assholes aren't already in control, your idea might work. But it's too late for that now, as Akiba is already firmly in the hands of the assholes. Now, they have to first get rid of the assholes before they can spread the secret and be reasonably sure it won't be used against them. |

Pretty much. Parity has to be returned, or at least make it so that the smaller guilds have a say in things without being smothered or browbeated by the bigger guilds, and verging on spoilers, this is exactly what Shiroe is planning. The food is a tool, and Shiroe's going to make the most of this ace in his hand.

Shiroe's serious look will give him a different aura, eh?
poor Minori... want to hug her so bad ;__; I wonder why the game system allow high-level player to hold newbie support item... It's quite serious when newbie got farmed like that. I guess Shiroe will ask Crescent moon to take care the rest of newbie in Hamelin when Log Horizon destroyed them... but why he need 5 million? buying guild hall? Shiroe is making a right move to warn them for not sharing food's secrets. People with chef sub-class are going to be slaved if the secret leaked out last demands : I want to see how Nyanta joined Log Horizon... and also... Akatsuki summer dress... I don't mind to die because of it |

I think people might be forgetting that this is also a political move on Shiroe's part and when dealing with politics you can't really play fair all the time else any plans you have even if they're for the good of all will never come to fruition.

Shiroe is making a rather small sacrifice for the greater good. It's not like he plans on monopolizing the secret for an extended long time. He didn't immediately call up everyone about it, but he DID contact Crescent Moon about it the day Nyanta revealed it to him. (unfortunately cut in the anime) He simply plays his cards carefully, without rushing into things. Instead oh you know, acting on impulse and immediately spreading information in an already volatile environment. That kind of knee-jerk reactions don't end well.

They say all that's necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing. But what about the converse? What happens when you pull good (or at least decent-ish) men out of their depressed funk? |

So you're counting on the "goodness of human nature" to just kinda fix the type of abusive people who would enslave children. Yeah good luck with that one. There are some people who are just vile. Hamelin isn't your average doe, it's a collection of scums of life. They're not gonna go OHMAHGOD FOOD TASTE GREAT! I'm gonna stop my evil ways! That ain't optimism, that's delusion. Also leaving children suffering in slavery, especially ones you personally know, until "things just figure itself out" is a terrible idea. That is basically what's being advocated here. "Let them suffer, who cares. Things will work out somehow I just know it will." Right. Also, if you think Shiroe is planning to go Dictator Mao on Akiba, yeah not happening. His "elaborate scheme" is just a mean, not the end. I think you're overthinking the end, like I said, much of your concerns are on the author's mind as well.
