I heard it's bc the most popular novel site only shows the title so they started packing the entire description onto the title to try and get attention, which led to this mess

[-] TheEntity@kbin.social 53 points 2 years ago

Time to show only the first 3 words of the title.

It started with a truck loaded with wrongly labelled veal. (Let’s write the light novel now! Reply to this comment with the next sentence!)

[-] tryptaminev@feddit.de 8 points 2 years ago

So the shop called the butcher. "You guys get it all wrong!" The butcher replied "I have no workers for these, as it takes too long!"

Hemingway: "hold my shotgun"

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

IMHO, Hold My Shotgun was a vastly underrated part of his oeuvre.

[-] JJROKCZ@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Character limit would work better since some languages need more words and some need fewer words to get the same meaning across

[-] runner_g@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 2 years ago

The Amazon strategy

[-] Zehzin@lemmy.world 82 points 2 years ago

The opening for the Blood Joe anime is just 8 guitars wailing

[-] Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 33 points 2 years ago

Dude that was the Funimation dub. The original Japanese opening was a city pop song.

I've never wanted to watch something that doesn't exist so badly.

[-] Aaroncvx@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Go watch Megalo Box, might as well be called Blood Joe.

[-] gmtom@lemmy.world 36 points 2 years ago

Thats mostly to do with more and more manga being adapted form lightnovels and then that style of titling starting to affect manga original titles as well. Although as soon as you filter out the generic Isekai garbage you'll find most mangas have decent names.

[-] SnuggleSnail@ani.social 34 points 2 years ago

Mangas on my todo list are

  • The former top 1β€˜s sub-character training diary: A dedicated player is currently conquering another world

  • My entire class was summoned to another world except for me

  • problem children are coming from another world, aren’t they?

  • Overgeared

[-] odium@programming.dev 15 points 2 years ago

Title quality improved a lot with that last one. And content quality is a bit better too imo.

[-] shani66@lemmy.comfysnug.space 8 points 2 years ago

For some reason i was expecting a sci-fantasy instead of a crappy, generic mmo isekai, I'm very disappointed.

[-] SnuggleSnail@ani.social 4 points 2 years ago

I think I read all the good isekai already. Putting anything on my to-read list where people get to other worlds or are levelling.

Sorry for the disappointment πŸ˜…

[-] odium@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago

The rest are just worse generic isekais.

[-] SnuggleSnail@ani.social 1 points 2 years ago

I like generic isekais. I think I am through with all the good ones..

[-] Todesschnitzel@lemm.ee 8 points 2 years ago

Overgeared is overrated imo. Mc just keeps getting stronger and winning by pure luck is kind of boring me with time.

[-] PennyJim@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I have enjoyed the training diary, but I'm seriously addicted and have tons I'm reading. So the actual quality is both suspect because of how much I read between each chapter and how low my bar for reading is.

It did feel like the recent arc of taming this one monster was a little dragged out, and then I was a little disappointed by the actual result of it.

It's been like that for a while. "No Matter How I Look at It, It's You Guys' Fault I'm Not Popular!" (aka Watamote) has been going since 2013, and I guarantee there's earlier examples.

[-] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 21 points 2 years ago

What do you mean 2013 was like 3 years ago- turns to dust

Back when MCs were filled with personalty instead of being a generic blank slate for the reader to self insert as

[-] tryptaminev@feddit.de 12 points 2 years ago

But why would someone read a novel about dating two slime stepsister, if the main character is totally unrelateable?

[-] ProgrammingSocks@pawb.social 2 points 2 years ago

If it says something meaningful about the human condition

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 2 years ago

back when MCs were filled with blood
