The longest title ever!
-
I noticed there's an upcoming book, called:
Backstabbed in a Backwater Dungeon: My Trusted Companions Tried to Kill Me, But Thanks to the Gift of an Unlimited Gacha I Got LVL 9999 Friends and Am Out For Revenge on My Former Party Members and the World
I've never seen a book with such a long title.
I'm going to read it of course, because I like stories of OP characters, but this title! It's so long that it's funny! -
"Last boss cheats Villainess" had a monster title originally too, in the afterward the author mentions that the JP editors told him to cut it down (and he cut it down by half, and it's still a sentence)

Oh, that's easy. It's the one where the entire book is the title :D

Honestly, this would be really easy for J-Novel to get the rights to and translate it, but I can imagine the backlash.
The Japanese title of Lazy Dungeon Master is Zettai ni Hatarakitakunai Dungeon Master ga Damin o Musaboru made, but if you look at all of their translations, they only use Lazy Dungeon Master for everything. So they could translate it as Isekai Pi: The Ascendance Of My Wrong Legendary Heroic Life.
As it is just the English title, there would only be one part needed. Because Lazy Dungeon Master is ending, this could be given to @Quof because he is used to working on ridiculously long works. So translating a title can be done in his sleep. The J-Novel EPUB premium bonus content can even be the entire Japanese title translated into English.
So now the backlash. On the website we get an almost 200 page epub and on Amazon they get one page. Also, people would be irate about paying $7.99 for a one page book, but everyone else would be happy paying 699 Sams (J-Novel Coins) for the entire bonus title.
Even the hints they release at the next anime convention would be easy.
Hint 1: Pi
Hint 2: You don't need a hint 2.
