Line 164:
* Joyce Carol Oates' novel ''After the wreck, I picked myself up, spread my wings, and flew away.''
* ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' is not a long title, but it represents an abbreviation of its [[In-Universe]] counterpart, the Red Book, whose title is ''The Downfall of the Lord of the Rings and the Return of the King (as seen by the Little People; being the memoirs of Bilbo and Frodo of the Shire, supplemented by the accounts of their friends and the learning of the Wise.) Together with extracts from Books of Lore translated by Bilbo in Rivendell.''
* From 2010 onwardsonward, the lengths of the titles of [[Light Novel]]s (and adjacent genres like Chinese and Korean webnovels) has increased substantially, with titles released after 2014 averaging 9 words, versus 4-5 words in previous years. This is specially noticeable in novels from the [[Trapped in Another World|Isekai/Transmigration]] genres, which can get into [[In Where a Trope Is Described]] levels. Some egregious (and legitimate) examples:
** ''I’mI'm a successfulHigh lightSchool novelBoy author atand a boy’sBestselling highLight schoolNovel author, but I’m being strangled by amy female classmate who’swho ais voicemy actressjunior and isa youngervoice than meactress – Time to Play.''

** ''Different World Reincarnation as a Sage ~With my Gaming Knowledge, I’ll become the World’s Strongest~''
