    What novel has the worst name?

    I think there's many things about a novel's name you need to consider when answering this question, like, how edgy it is or if it makes you want to read it or not.

    On that note, Main Character Hides His Srength is one novel I'm never going to read, because of how the name isn't a satire of the trope, but very literal.

    What do you guys think?

    I actually appreciate a novel with an honest title. Like that sister violated something something one. Thats a red flag for me to not read it. Easier to avoid with that obvious title.

    I guess 'shuumatsu nanishitemasuka? isogashii desuka?' I thought it was a unrequited love kinda story, until I saw the trailer for the anime.

    I find that some Japanese novels have the worst names, namely the ones that are too long and the novel itself doesn't seem to be that high quality as well.

    There's a novel that goes something like "I reincarnated again, but my first thought was to get naked" I mean I can't believe novels like that passed through an editor and got published wtf. If it was just one novel it'll stand out but dozens of books have titles like these and also totally nonsensical plots involving passive-aggressive MCs with cheats but no motivation to do anything.

    You forgot the third question, with that it's obvious that it isn't that kind of story especially combined with the novel cover.

    I think its a culture thing. Japanese people are highly competitive, hard working and goal driven people in fact so many Japanese people have died from overwork. So I guess they want to fantasize about getting a cheat and succeeding at all sorts of things without working for it and not even having any real motivation.
