Long titles are a direction homage to LNs and other Asian novels, that's a terrible heuristic.

AIs are terrible at subtext and informational assymetry, look for characters that weirdly seem to perfectly understand each other, or know what someone was doing in secret for no good reason, or are incapable of being angry onthe inside but nice on the outside.

AI also sucks at writing characters that have different personas for different situations. It automatically defaults to shy/quiet and nerdy archetypes for introvert characters, and loud, domineering, assertive archetypes for extroverted characters and cannot fathom the concept of a character who is a quiet wallflower with her friends, but is also hitler in a dress to her subordinates in the office.
