《Overdone Book Titles》Saved By Him / Her

This....
This title...
Gives me PHYSICAL PAIN TO READ.
And it also makes me want to slam my head into a concrete wall.
Soooo main character, supposedly a damsel in distress till their saviour comes and rescuses them, no more to it. The main storyline right there.
Things main character could be saved from:
Abusive parents
Near death experience
....
....
....
....
....
....
Pretty much it.
But then suddenly after rescue, it's like they don't have any mental problems, apart from maybe one crying session, and they're suddenly...
SOMEHOW SOME MEGA AMAZING BADASS NOTHING CAN GET IN THEIR WAY BITCH THEY ARE A WARRIOR!!!!!!!
*coughcough* ha no.
Being removed from something like an abusive household, they are going to have to have a lot of recovery time, they aren't instantly going to become the next marvel superhero...
Sometimes they do have mental health issues in their stories, but sometimes people don't portray it right and end up milking it somehow.
They may have PTSD, for example, and sometimes in stories this can be portrayed correctly.
BUT WHAT IS NOT CORRECT ABOUT IT IS THAT ITS MAGICALLY CURED AFTER THEIR 'SAVOUR' IS LIKE I LOVE YOU IM HERE FOR YOU.
NOT.
HOW.
IT.
WORKS.
And boom, PTSD? Mental scars? Depression? Self hatred? Frustration? Maybe even wanting to die, because they can't cope anymore?
Gone, nope, never happened.
If your going to write about mental health issues, it's going to have to be at least for the most part, a serious book.
And it frustrates me SO MUCH.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Somebody stop me before I murder someone.

Interface
Welcome to the World-City of Thousel, the sixth iteration of life on the planet. These are the recordings of the people of Thousel. Thousel is believed to be the second longest iteration of life, and the overall most prosperous compared to what we know about the past five iterations. Medicine and technology have all progressed abundantly, and the world itself has been turned into one great city, governed and managed by the Governmental-Company Alliance, or the GCA.These particular recordings concern the discovery of a peculiar machine. When two very different people find themselves bound by the fate of one mysterious bot, life in the World-City begins to change… Interface is a cyberpunk webnovel set in an ecumenopolis world where people evolved with electro-sensory abilities. These senses shape the face of modern technology and life in a world where the three largest corporations run what has effectively become the government. Each of these three companies control various aspects of life in the city, and they all constantly vie for domain and power over one another.The world stands at the precipice of biological, technological, and historical breakthrough. After decades of study into microbiology, archaeology, and geology, it has been discovered that sentient life has lived on the planet multiple times over. These past peoples are referred to as the “prior iterations of life,” and it is believed that five great civilizations were constructed before the rise of the modern world. No one can be sure for certain what caused these peoples’ extinction long ago, and the theories range from simply dying off over time to massive tectonic fractures in the face of the planet. Advanced technology, far more complicated than anything the people possess today, has been uncovered in multiple locations. This has lead scholars to speculate on exactly how long each iteration of life survived and how far they progressed as a society. None of the companies have been able to find a way to make this ancient technology work for their own profit. It is as though they are each missing the final key needed to unlock these centuries old secrets. What could this knowledge reveal about the nature of life across every iteration? What power could it give to the one who wields it?Far from the investigation into the origin of life, two kids unlock a new mystery – one that ties their fates to the discovery of an old, mysterious robot. Suddenly, eyes begin to turn towards them as life in the city of Thousel changes wherever they go…
