Oni ga Deruka Hebi ga Deruka

quote:

When our hero, Matsubara Yuu, suddenly finds himself moving back to his mother's home, a number of strange things happen to him. He meets Suzu, a beautiful girl who falls in love with him at once, even wanting to have his children. Even if he wanted to run away from the situation, his way was blocked by a huge cow attacking him. In fact, in all of these, he seems to be the cause!

I don't know what I was expecting, but I'm now a lot less interested.

Because people realized that instead of coming up with interesting titles they can just throw a pitch at you in the title.

It's a light novel thing. They don't have as many illustrations, so they just get cranked out at high volumes. Why bother coming up with a pithy title when you can just put the whole premise in there?

There's a hypothesis that, because of the high number of competing series coming out, people weren't really taking the time to read the pitches at all for series they didn't recognize. Title-as-blurb was a quick way to stand out on a long inventory list. Eventually it just became a genre convention since everyone else was doing it, especially for isekai series.

I love Red Bard's videos so I'm just going to link her investigation to the history of the phenomenon here for anyone else interested.

I'm pretty sure it's because the original website they were published on had no summary section so you literally had to put the summary in the title to get any attention from the ten thousand other series that pop up every day.

No, that's like anti-birth control since it means ten years later some writer is going to bring them back with a kid in tow.
