I think it has more to do with them being adaptations of web novels. I can only assume that at some point there was a meta that evolved around naming web novels something wordy and specific to either stand out from the crowd, let readers know what the series was about, or both.
Disclaimer: I don’t read web novels, could be way off.
Its the same here in the west. Webcomics, web novels, fan fic. It all has the same problem. Its rather funny how people have only really started to notice the increase in title length when it started hitting manga/anime.
Each region has like 1 maybe 2 websites that host 99% of them. Lots of them straight up don’t allow the same name for two projects. Even for the ones that do allow duplicate names you would get harassed or attacked by the primary users if you copied the name of a popular series. So as time has gone on, all the short names are taken. And you have to make up longer and longer names.
I think that’s because they are Korean but I could be mistaken

No, but it could be related to light novels? Since there are more and more mangas based on light novels.
Yes I think that’s what I meant and then mixed up light novels with manwas
