CATDOLL: Japanese light novel title length breaks record, netizens complain it's too weird

In recent years, the development of Japanese light novels seems to be taking a more and more bizarre route. Now many light novels have very unique ideas in the selection of content. For example, the story of the cartoonist who was kept by a little loli has also caused many people to complain. Now there is another strange phenomenon in light novels, that is, the titles are getting longer and longer, and it has developed to the point where the title is the story introduction, and it is still breaking records. Recently, Dengeki Bunko announced that a light novel with the longest title in history will be released on March 10, 2017.

This light novel with the longest title in history is written by Uwa Mikuruma and illustrated by Karei. Its title translates to "It's sewn! Take it off? Change clothes!! My girlfriend failed to debut in high school and became a stay-at-home mom, so I mixed up youth (fashion). ". This title is really embarrassing, and it feels like you can understand the general meaning of the novel just by looking at this title. By the way, isn't this really a synopsis? The story of this light novel tells the story of the ordinary high school boy Ono Tomonaga who regards making girls' clothes as his life value. His childhood playmate Rindo Mei, who failed to debut in high school with exaggerated clothes, suddenly appears in front of him.

Many netizens also expressed that it was difficult to understand why this light novel with an extremely long title was chosen, "This title seems too stupid, will anyone really buy it?", "Relying on the title to attract attention is a sign of incompetence of writers and editors." So what do you think of the increasingly long light novel titles? Let's discuss it.
