Bold words for the one who gets pinned down later on.
what's the source, if I may ask.?
The Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess and the Genius Young Lady. No, seriously… That is the actual title.
Japan has insanely long titles for light novels (which was also adopted by manga) in order to get people to pick up books. There's such an influx of light novels the writers starting turning the titles into summaries.
My personal favorite title is:
Backstabbed in a Backwater Dungeon: My Trusted Companions Tried to Kill Me, But Thanks to the Gift of an Unlimited Gacha I Got LVL 9999 Friends and Am Out For Revenge on My Former Party Members and the World
I wonder what it's about?
Part way through reading that title, my brain instinctively tried to "Chuck Tingle" it.
Its the ultimate "Dont judge a book by its cover" counter system. Its kinda odd but i honestly dont mind it unless it spoils too much.
Nah, it's a limitation of the main platform that forces that. What was it again, they have nowhere to place a description so they have to use the title for that to get readers.
which i would get if they weren't all minor variations upon the exact same thing, like come on give me a light novel title that sounds like lord of the rings
Pretty sure this was a joke but The Faraway Paladin is an isekai that seems VERY inspired by, if not derivative of, The Hobbit.
