henceforth Fruitmaster, because I can't be bothered to remember that behemoth of a full name


We also have:
Fuguushoku [Kanteishi] ga Jitsu wa Saikyou Datta: Naraku de Kitaeta Saikyou no [Shingan] de Musou Suru (Even Given the Worthless “Appraiser” Class, I’m Actually the Strongest)

Guild no Uketsukejou desu ga, Zangyou wa Iya nanode Boss wo Solo Tobatsu Shiyou to Omoimasu (I May Be a Guild Receptionist, but I’ll Solo Any Boss to Clock Out on Time)

[i]A-Rank Party wo Ridatsu Shita Ore wa, Moto Oshiegotachi to Meikyuu Shinbu wo Mezasu.[(I Left My A-Rank Party to Help My Students Reach the Dungeon Depths)/i]

Coming in January, thankfully they all have shortened titles.

I am firmly convinced that the length of light novel titles is inversely proportional to their writing quality.

You know what I think you’re onto something here.

Sounds like the only twist to this story was completed in the first episode. I ask of you, after that whats the point?

Eh, I’d say there’s some exceptions. The Sukasuka novels are good. Oh, I’m sorry, I meant the “Shūmatsu Nani Shitemasu ka? Isogashii Desu ka? Sukutte Moratte Ii Desu ka?“ novels are pretty good.

Shoujo WN/LN have long titles as well…or should I say title + subtitle?

Like this one where ANN didn’t even bother including the subtitle in the Alternative name.
Tenseisaki de Suterareta no de, Mofumofu-tachi to Oryōri shimasu: Okazari Ōhi wa My Pace ni Saikyō desu
manga#24426

Does anyone even remember subtitle of series like Honzuki no Gekokujō?

Some series are even tripping over their own feet with using Long Title + Long Subtitle + Volume Title.

A title that is easy to remember is always a win!
