    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.

      Might start a web series called “My journey into becoming a mangaka online but the evil CEO of 《SEO CORP》has stolen my creativity and now I must fight an army of robots!”

      Whatever the hell people would expect from that title, it won’t be that.

      Exactly I’ve never found one of these long titles stories that weren’t mid, and if they are good the fandom will come up with a short name for it so you don’t have to deal with the long one
