So today I was scrolling through the 'discover' section of Wattpad and I noticed something truly disgusting.
Wattpad is the home of the world's worst book/fanfiction titles.

The point is, can no one think of some decent titles these days. Sure, I don't claim to have some amazing title mind. My books have pretty shit titles such as 'The Greater Good' (to be fair considering the Harry Potter fanfiction follows the Grindelwald and Dumbledore storyline it was only appropriate) and 'Pity the Living'.
But at least they're not 'The Bad Boy's Girl'.

The quality of your title reflects the quality of your book.
Examples of successful, highly acclaimed books that have good titles:
- Pride and Prejudice
- The Great Gatsby
- To Kill a Mockingbird
- The Book Theif
- Gone with the Wind
- The Fault in Our Stars
- All the Light We Cannot See
- Lord of the Rings
And so on.
So why is it one of the biggest collections of books ever is filled with cheesy, vomit-worthy titles?
