Reading each and every title causes me mental damage Looks like the top spots haven't changed much from last year. I wonder if the trend is dying down
Seeing the long title already make me don't want to read and they still adding genre that i don't like in the title!!!
Let's start a new one. Someone decide to make a long title novel contest, so I decide to create my own original long titled novel to win the contest! This is a story of a young aspiring novelist who want to submit his long title novel but accidentally crashed by a truck when he gone out and then sent to another world which is the world he wrote for the contest. *Shock* the young aspiring shocked for he has add tons of elements inside his long titled novel that will make the protagonist life a living hell, but he ended up as a mob? This is the story of the struggle of a mob living inside his own unfinished novel which he himself didn't understand. I don't even know what the heck am I writing at this point in time.
It's so beautiful! Honestly, it's pretty darned impressive that these writers are able to make their books boring even before reading the full title! Bravo, crappy writers! Go you!
I remember the first anime I ever watched. I think it was called something like this: "I got trapped in a virtual reality game where if I die in the game I also die in real life! We have to work together to clear the boss at the end of each of the 100 levels in a tower in order to be set free! I was a beta tester, so everyone hates the fact that I have an unfair advantage, but I don't care because I work better alone anyway! Lots of girls fall I'm love with me and I don't realise because I'm dense, but it doesn't matter because I'm dating the vice-leader of the top guild who I met on the first floor! I can use two swords at the same time because I have the highest reaction speed in the game and my stats are so high that lower level people can't even scratch me! Whoa! I had an A.I. baby with my girlfriend, but she died! But it's fine because I got so angry that I learned how to code and hacked into the game to save her life! How crazy! It turns out that the leader of the top guild is actually the creator of the game who trapped us all here! I fought him and managed to win, but my girlfriend and I ended up dying in the fight! He let us live though, and we were all set free from the game! But my girlfriend is still stuck in her V.R. headset, what should I do!?"
Correctomundo! But that's just the title for the first part, set in the SAO game. Each subsequent arc gets a new title, like the next one would be like "My girlfriend wasn't let free from the V.R. death game and my friend showed me pictures from a new V.R. games which show a girl just like her! I'm going to play the game and try to find her and set her free! Etc." and then the one after that would be like "There's a murder mystery involving a V.R. FPS game! Etc." And so on
