So, another LN with a really long name. I think we need a shorthand title for it.
I personally like NetOnna, does anyone have better ideas?
Or is there already one and I just haven't stumbled across it?

I might be too late, but the official shorthand is ネトゲの嫁 ("Netoge no Yome"), according to the author's twitter (@kinekoshibai). Most of the people I talked to just referred to it as ネトゲ嫁 ("Netoge Yome") or ネト嫁 ("NetoYome", which is what I used) until he tweeted that. I think I also remember him saying that they (everyone who works on Netoge no Yome) just refers to it as ネトゲ ("Netoge").

Here's a link to the tweet: https://twitter.com/kinekoshibai/status/650530661376266241?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

Netoge seems simple enough. I've been calling it that, friends have.

Pretty sure netoge is a word this anime made up so it should be pretty unique.

As far as I know, netoge is an abbreviation for net game. I guess what most of us would refer to as online games and/or MMOs?

I've been calling it NetogeYome myself.

You're right about netoge being an abbreviation, and it refers to online games in general. MMOs are netoge, but so are RTSes, FPSes, soshage (social games), etc.

I thought it was a mix between net (game) / eroge lol. Since this is technically meant to be an ecchi or something.

Never heard anyone (in english) use that term until this anime existed, at least.

It's an abbreviation used in Japan, so of course you won't hear anyone use it in English.

I just use NetoGe, which, yes, is shorthand for Net Game, but through context, one would know I'm talking about the anime.

The Ge part of Eroge is already an abbreviation for Game, EroGe is Erotic Game. In Japanese, they use Katakana (the writing format to import foreign words into Japanese), and is written ゲーム, or Geemu (ゲ=Ge), hence the ネトゲ being NetoGe.

Of all the abbreviations, I prefer Netoge myself.

I thought the abbreviation was Netoge if I recall correctly. I rather like that way of referring to it, it gets the point across of what the LN is about.
