well, okay, sure,

(first, @nuclear-red-navy, tumblr’s side-bar opening of links to tumblr blogs has broken the “read more” functionality.)
Second, this is the result of EY asking for covert art at a price of 125$. That’s not a bad thing, but it’s an interesting event in the saga of EY doing things that will piss off the internet.

To clarify, I wasn’t intending to poke fun at the art style/quality so much as the overall goofiness of the cover, especially the title
Given it’s intended genre, it fits in with titles like No Matter How I Look at It, It’s You Guys’ Fault I’m Not Popular! and so on.
Yeah, this is 100% in line with how light novels tend to be named, right down to the punctuation
The next question: what does the fandom (for such a dread beast shall doubtless arise) settle on as the ‘official’ acronym?
(EY suggested Summoned Hero in a reddit thread, but that seems a bit clunky; it’s a a pity that english doesn’t allow for the nice and quick contractions that are regularly pulled off for light novels in japanese [eg WataMote for that which nuclearspaceheater mentioned, Haganai, DanMachi, etc])
yeah no that’s actually a very good 3/4s-ass overliteral translation of the Japanese grammatical forms that would be used to title an installment’s worth of pulpy fiction. Add in the art and it’s very 1999.
