    My first online novel, that I've read was The Scum Villain's Self-Saving System and I thought, that gotta be one of the longest name of a novel, however I quickly found out that I was wrong and that they are much much more bizzare and longer names than SVSSS.
    Today I found following:
    When I Faked Amnesia to Break off My Engagement, My Fiancé Casually Told Me a Ridiculous Lie—“You Were in Love With Me Before You Lost Your Memory.” in Japanese Kon'yaku haki o neratte kioku sōshitsu no furi o shitara, sokkenai taidodatta fianse ga `kioku o ushinau mae no kimi wa, ore ni beta horedatta' to iu, tondemonai uso o tsuki hajimeta.

    Tbh tho, I low-key like how some of the novels names are stupid and it does its job with catching my attention.

    Don't know but I'll tell you one thing. It's going to be a Japanese novel.

    I feel like at this point, Japanese web novel authors are just competing to see who can come up with the longest, most convoluted titles.

    Kind of like how royalty liked to append more and more titles to their names, and use that to (somehow) flex over others because that poor herald has to spend an extra 20-30 seconds to get through their name at every gathering's introduction.

    Not really. The first popular novel with a long title was Ore no Imouto was konna Kawaii wake ja nai!, and I have seen plenty of non-isekais with lengthy titles. It just so happens that many popular current novels (the ones with kilometric titles) are isekai- or fantasy-themed.
