    That’s partially true. It’s because the web novel that the manga is adapted from used the premise as a title for optimized SEO so that their story can be seen by more readers.

      Makes it a massive pain in the ass to find them on watch/read tracking websites, especially when they have those ~ and 《》in the title (or subtitle). As an avid Manga reader, I have started skipping those series because, more often than not, they are just as uncreative as their titles. SEO or not, a good story will be spread by word of mouth. These writers are just screaming they don’t have confidence in what they are creating.

      It’s awesome practice. I don’t read manga, but do watch the anime adaptations. It gives you exactly what it says on the tin. I love it.
