I got crunchyroll for the first time a few days ago to watch one piece and while scrolling through it I noticed how every Isekai has the longest fucking name you've ever seen

In fact this comment could be a title for an Isekai

Honestly just making the title of a book or show a brief summary of what it's about feels like a much better practice than the practice of trying to coin some snappy one or two word title that means and conveys nothing apart from serving as an identifier for the work.

Makes me think of the sad horse show bit with the sleezy hollywood producer screaming about how titles can't be longer than two words and turning down scripts for "No Country for Old Men" and "There Will Be Blood" on that reasoning.
