"Would any reader actually read a book with such a long, awful title?"
Hard to say for others, but Pei Ye definitely wouldn't click on it. The title alone was enough to turn her away. *Post-apocalyptic Iron-blooded Queen's Military Young Master's Palm Treasure with Immortal Spring Water* was a post-apocalyptic, rebirth, female supporting character, female empowerment novel. Well, that was the official tagging, anyway. Pei Ye reserved her own judgment.
She quickly skimmed through the instance's plot and was a little dazed. It took a careful second reading to get everything straightened out. The book actually had two female leads. The original female lead, Liu Yexian, followed the Saint Mother Mary Sue route. The current female lead, Xiang Ruijun, followed the cold-blooded, emotionless, strong female route.
