The site you’re referring to is almost certainly Syosetsuka ni Narou, a free-to-use Japanese web novel platform, exactly like Wattpad and AO3 as you mentioned. Super common to have a very long title to grab reader attention there, because that’s literally the only pitch you have for new readers on the front page or search pages.
And yes I wanna say almost every modern light novel has its start there. Publishers scour that site for potential new work all the time. It’s not uncommon for you to be following a web novel there and then suddenly get an announcement about how it’s being picked up by a publisher/editor for serialization.
The title sometimes gets slightly changed but usually it remains as is, and that’s how it ends up on anime/manga.
