    ただのサラリーマンは異世界に転生しても、チートがない！？最悪の魔王は世界征服しまったから、サラリーマンの英雄が最強になる必要がある～ダンジョンで騎士と共に魔法の使い方と剣の使い方のマスターになる冒険～
    ENG:
    A Normal Salaryman Reincarnated to Another World, but He Doesn't Have a Cheat!? The Most Evil Demon Lord Had Already Took Over the World, so the Salaryman Hero Must Become the Strongest ~ The Adventure of Becoming a Master in the Way of Magic and the Way of the Sword with a Knight in a Dungeon ~

    There's a 100 character cap in Syosetu, so this is the longest title a Japanese WN can have.
    You can read the first chapter and synopsis on Ebisu Translations, along with other amazing books that are much better than this joke novel.

    I wonder if these authors ever get tired of introducing their books to people just cause the name it too long. Heck, with a title like that, who needs a summary anymore >.>

    That is the point... since most people are too lazy to read the synopsis, they put everything in the title. Then if people are interested, they click and read the longer synopsis.

    Aka, don't blame them, blame humanity for having such short attention spans.

    Oh, but you can blame lys for being so shameless, that is fine.

    I'm sure there's quite a few novels on there already tied for that position but congrats
    They added a rule so that you can't submit translations for a novel you wrote later on if I remember

    Hmm, what would you get if you take the first character of each word and put them together??
    Or, if that doesn’t work, then the first kana of each word??

    Google translate translates the first part as, “It’s upside down!?”
