Eventually there's going to be a light novel with a title too long to fit on the cover.

They'll first have it so part of the cover will simply fold out, so they can expand the amount of cover space. We'll probably finally reach a point where titles will appear shorter again where they have a few characters in large print, but much like the security feature on paper money, when you look closer with a magnifying glass those characters will actually be composed of finer print that will spell out the rest of the title in full.

There are already a few with titles too long to fit into certain databases.

Those are long? The full title to either Robinson Crusoe or Moll Flanders is longer than the full title of I'm Being Strangled and its English translation combined.

This will all culminate with a title that is the whole book!
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times....

I wonder how they write this 85-word title in Japanese: "No Matter How Hard I Try, It is Not My Fault That I am Not Popular and My Little Cute Sister is So Popular That She Was Run Over By Truck-kun and Reincarnated as a Princess in Another World. As For Me, I Am Stuck Living in Van Down By the River While Working Part-Time at A Burger Place and I Also Like to Cheat on the Latest Edition of That VRMMOPRG. Yes, I Love My Mom but She Acts Like an Overlord at Times".
