These titles are getting out of hand

  Manga titles are becoming:

  I’m a stupid moron with an ugly face and a big butt, and my butt smells, and I like to kiss my own butt.

    That trend is because a lot of them start life as “light novels” (similar to young adult novels, have a few scattered pictures and stuff), and those are intentionally titled so you have an idea of what you’ll be reading, because there are a freakin’ lot of them. It’s basically the synopsis blurb, just as part of the title.

      The third party of the trilogy is where it really gets good:

      I was reincarnated as a stupid moron with an ugly face and a big butt, and my butt smells, and I like to kiss my own butt

Aenean posuere nec sem vel consectetur. Sed augue libero, condimentum et vulputate nec, condimentum fringilla ante. Etiam aliquet at augue pulvinar pretium. Etiam rutrum non dui sed vulputate.

  The Manga is fire, 10/10 would reccomend!

  As I understand it, most light novel readers cant be bothered to read jacket descriptions of the book, so they started making the title be a summary of the description instead.

    Not quite, but close. The problem is that a lot of these light novels originate from a web novel site where the title is the only thing users see before clicking through.

    Gods, I cannot wait for the next chapter of I couldn’t be bothered to read the jacket description of a light novel, so they made the title the summary instead, such a banger

  Honestly, that title sounds super amazing. I gotta check if the manga is half-decent.

    Looks like it’s got a lot of stars, so it’s probably solid. Title is wild tho

      You’d be surprised. I’ve run into some really dogshit books that somehow get >4.5 on Goodreads.

      Considering titles are descriptions and not titles for light novels… It’s a pretty normal description.

  Out of hand but we can probably fairly accurately guess what the plot setup is.

  this is me guessing having never read this but seen enough first chapters of similar sounding things:

  Opens like those dime a dozen “I was kicked out of my party by the hero and even though I’m a loser my power was secretly OP and now I’m drowning in pussy” type mangoes, but its the childhood friend being kicked out because she isn’t subservient to the power tripping manwhore hooking up with every vaguely female humanoid and bullying everyone into dping whatever he wants because of the hero title.

  She goes home or family back home finds out one way or another. Hero’s dad sets out to give his boy a spanking and “I didn’t raise you to be this way”. He’s totally jacked and his son never came close, and single because his wife died from illness or during birth or something. He either hooks up with the son’s former fianc or her mom. Maybe both. Then he goes everywhere cleaning up after his son and bangin women that are unnaturally grateful for things merely being returned to how they should have been in the first place.

  Eventually the son is deemed unworthy and whatever the son had that made him the hero transfers to his dad by whatever higher power granted it in the first place. It becomes public knowledge and the son gets shunned and is put in a situation where he has to see that everything it could have had belongs to his dad now and then made into a slave or something and dad is like “I still love you son but like I said when you left, you’re an adult. That means you have to take responsibility for your actions.”

  Or something idk. Its just a theory. A MANGO THEORY!!1one.

  It’s not a theory. I’d put 100 bucks on it being at least 80% correct. I’d put more but I’m broke. I also wanted to put the girl saying something cursed like “you’re so… fatherly… I never had a dad before… swoon” but even with my obvious deep understanding of how japanese writers think, that might be taking things too far.
