Curious Question I wanna ask

[Cookiez_N_Potionz]

Hello, again!

I see that some Webnovels have really long names and I wanna know if it's that effective?

Currently my story is: The Succubus and The Maverick [LitRPG]

The Maverick and The Succubus [LitRPG]

5 Systems. 5 Royal Families. Greetings, Champion! 17 year-old, Collin Rex is a football player with a heart of gold. But his easygoing life is flipped upside-down when his older siblings fall into a mysterious coma. With no more tricks in their playbook Collin's folks decide to move back to...

Should I change it to something else?

Examples: My childhood friend gave me amnesia and now I'm a knight of a fantasy kingdom.

Or

I was kidnapped by my family after getting amnesia and now I'm a knight of a fantasy kingdom because my childhood friend is a succubus princess?

Title sets up an expectation for the tone of the story among many things. Longer title works for authors that try to emulate JP novels. You will find out that, usually, long title on works that pursue other tone and style don't give more views.

Oh, does that mean I shouldn't worry about my book title?

First one not long enough. Second one a mouthful.

The sweet spot is a title that is basically the summary of the summary of the synopsis. Make use of commas, line breaks, and bitch slaps.

For example:

Kidnapped By My Family After Getting Amnesia,
I Became A Knight Seduced By My Succubus Childhood Friend.

Those longer titles kind of suggest a first-person narration (which, oddly, several JP novels START as, then get re-written after five to ten chapters as 3p narratives - only one I Know this happened with was "My Vampire System" but I'm pretty sure there are others).
If you feel "The Maverick and the Succubus" is too short, you could just add in "(A LitRPG Tale) or "The Amnesiac Maverick Knight and the Succubus (LitRPG)"

Lol, I really like this. But won't seduce mean it will have smut? I don't really wanna bait my readers with something that isn't evident.

However, thanks for this nice title

I listened to the audiobook of "My Vampire System" and it was pretty fascinating for the most part
