It can't be helped. I mean, it's quite easy to come up with a simple and attractive title like "My incest romcom", or "40000 ways to make love to a dog-girl", or even "NTR-escapades with my boss's wife", but the average brain cells of a high school otaku teenager has been on the decline since... oh, a panty-shot... screw that gotta save it.

[wuhugm]

^The actual reason is people now has extremely short attention span, even synopsis might not be read
So authors circumvented it by making the title explain the most interesting part of the novel

Dude has no choice but to join Black Magic Company
Found he has great aptitude with Black Magic
Summoned a Succubus and gain many things with his OP Black Magic
He can still use White Magic btw

Damn Black Maria
15 Volumes smoothly going
Destroyed completely with 1 chapter
What a waste

Still, that "riajuu mc"... aint they all?

[Rasty]

^^ There are thousands of works. Just reading the synopsis of all of them would take ages, so it's an inevitability that inconspicuous titles got skipped. The same reason why interesting cover image sells the book in shops. But with the current trend, I think a short title might be more conspicuous, but coming up with such short, striking title that nobody has used before might be a pain.

[wuhugm]

^I let others do the work for me
I don't even read the title for those noves which has less than 1000 Unique Views

Not really
Technically all of them are Riajuus, but most of them don't emphasize on that
Like those MCs who have harem of beauties but people around them don't comment about that at all (Death March/Yaritsukai)
Or MCs who are so timid that they don't realize they are riajuus

[AnimeFangirl]

Why does every single WN have snusnu these days? I hate snusnu.

[wuhugm]

^No, most WN don't have snusnu
It's just that those I recommended mostly have snusnu
I think the composition is something like this :
- 80% non-snusnu
- 15% shitty WN with snusnu
- 5% Quality WN with snusnu
I'm doing the 5% and it's hard finding them you know

[Rasty]

^ Out of the 80% non-snusnu ones many are trash too though.

^^ With snusnu you avoid the status quo that so many novels do and that most people are sick of. It's just annoying when there are zillions of girls around the MC, but the romantic development (not snusnu itself, but usually any romance at all after the conquering arc) is exactly zero, because.. who knows.

[wuhugm]

^Worst part of no snusnu is story bottleneck
When MC marries, the story ends
Is this fucking Cinderella?
This ain't no traditional fairy tale dawg~

[Kyureki]

So what actually happens here plot-wise? The illustrations only show fan service-y stuff so if this is one of those kinds of stories....count me out.

I am bit afraid that any non snusnu post marriage story would eventually turn into NTR snusnu story instead. So there is that...

There are comedies
Social commentaries
Loose nariagari of using black magic to raise the reputation of the company and self status (nobility)
and ero

Yeap,
But most narou stories were envisioned as an Epic
Start from birth and end with death
Example is Kingdom building genre
Age 1 - 18 is perfectly detailed, but then Kingdom founded, MC married, thus story ended
Wth? We want to read the growth and management of the Kingdom over time too, not just the founding...

[Kyureki]

Welp, found the manga and read chapters 1, 2, and 5 (3-4 were missing for some reason) and I guess now I'll check out the WN when I get the time.

[Rasty]

Still only at chapter 26, but for the time being, not bad. The only complaint I have is, that it kind of lacks tension/goal. Everything is going too well and without any trouble or hard work, so it all feels a bit void. Also, it has Original Senki in tags, but nothing that like a battle for the time being. Well, there was the one farce of a duel, but you can't count that as a battle, can you?

[pervypig]

Heh, I'd love it if things go south all of a sudden and the death count suddenly hit both hands... fuggin' riajuus should all just go die...
