Rejected Titles
This is a list of rejected titles and the reasons why they were rejected. They are released on Jan. 28-30.
- Jan. 28: Inception
Reason: There's a very famous movie by the same name.
- Jan. 29: Deadlock
Reason: She was worried readers would see the word "dead" and assume someone dies in the book. SM won’t say whether or not someone dies, but she didn’t want anyone to assume that they did.
- Jan. 30: Rematch
Reason: She didn't think it felt right, and thought it wasn't exciting enough to do justice to the plot. Also, the book is about more than just matchmaking.
