What are the titles that give you the ick ?

Not even talking about if the story itself is good, perhaps it is, but just based on the title.
For me it's all those Isekai stories with a title like : "the tyrant that I raised..." or the "duke that I tamed..."

Idk why It gives me the ick so much, it does not really say anything about the plot but to me it just means :
"here is a story about a completly obsessed Ml with a terrible past who got saved by the mc and since then can't see anything else apart from her, and the mc who knew his trauma shaped him to grow up as she wanted him to, and then somehow falls in love even though she always saw herself as a big sister or mother figure"

I know it's not truly what happens on these stories, but if she really raised the guy it would be strange to picture the mc with the ml after. And the titles with "taming" like, is the ml an animal that needs to be controlled or something ?

    It annoys me so much too like.. the title is damn edgy and annoying it's so fucking cringe whenever i see the word tame

    i agree so strongly ╥﹏╥ worst part is that a lot of those "I tamed" or "I raised" aren't half bad and I end up putting off good manhwa because of its title

    I also don't like manhwa with titles like "I became the male leads ___", not because they're bad or anything but it's too generic and you can immediately predict the plot from the title. like they're gonna end up rejecting the ml in the beginning wanting to live a peaceful life but they end up falling and have a happy ending with the ml, and then the og fl ends up having a wicked personality

    Yes I really agree with these general titles, the genre has become so popular than you know with these types of titles that you're going to have this type of plot. Fortunately there are still some really good ones, but the titles are often a bit different than your average "I became the male...", more like "stepmother marchen" or "Death Is The Only Ending For The Villainess"
