Smh, titles are getting way too absurd.

CodeBlazeFate said:
I remember that video, though I never asked why it's so long. I guess the shorter title should be KonoSekai. You agree with that idea?Amen to that. Friggin' Light Novels and their overly long and convoluted titles.

kikyo1hinamora said:

kono sekai mean this world so yeah it seam logical

Swagernator said:
The longer the title the more garbage novel is.

CodeBlazeFate said:
What are we even gonna shorten it as?! Maybe KonoSekai?

FlakeyBear said:
I've found the challenger. No, seriously, there's something about Japanese light novel writers that are too passionate with their titles.

In 2018 there will be a light novel with 100 words on its title. I'm telling ya.


Just eliminate the parenthesis.

WHAT?!?! That should legally not even be a title!!! Why is this a thing?!

Noesnecesario said:


Apparently the author really likes Harry Potter and decided to write a book about it's main actor.

I mean REALLY LIKING IT.

Darek said:
well... at least you did not need a synopsis do you, the title works like one.

_Ako_ said:
Well with the title as long as this, you don't need to put "fuck 30 char limit" since half of the title is more than enough to fulfil it.

CodeBlazeFate said:
True, true, assuming you either have the ludicrous idea of typing it all or just using copy paste.

_Ako_ said:


Mhhh, copy paste would do the work, not like it matters at the end.

CodeBlazeFate said:
I remember that video, though I never asked why it's so long. I guess the shorter title should be KonoSekai. You agree with that idea?Amen to that. Friggin' Light Novels and their overly long and convoluted titles.

Zefyris said:

I don't, because shortened titles are 4 "syllabes" whereas this is 5 : ko no se ka i.
I would say "konoise" probably is more fitting anyway. If it's not already taken by something else.
It probably already has some official one tho.

SkyDrop said:
By the look at the horrible grammer, this should be another shitty novel!!!

CodeBlazeFate said:
Technically, it's only 4 since it ends in "kai" and that's actually 1 syllable. KonoSekai not only fills the (two words squished into one which is why there's an uppercase in the middle) requirement, but it sounds much catchier than Konoise.

It's a Guinness book of world records title holder, they often do things JUST to get in the book and so that it's hard for anyone else to challenge said tittle that they hold in the book. That may be the only reason the title is so long.
