I read this, How to Choose an Unforgettable Title for Your Fantasy Novel so maybe my question is more about how to title my story.
The opening scene has a luck goddess, and she is going to pop up occasionally before the climax, but I want her significance to be understated until then and be lost under misotheism and a bit of fantastic racism so that the readers keep almost forgetting about her. The setting is dark, but the story really isn't. Sure the world is filled with monsters and abusive people, but it's not happening to the MC. It's going to be a little like Name of the Wind and Wise Man's Fear where it significant points of MC's life interspersed with stories he hears. There really isn't an antagonist, though he does butt heads with authority figures. The generator just spat Mistress of Chaos at me and that's an apt name for one character, but she's more in the background after she disrupts MC's life in the first chapter.
Just some things that stuck out to me from a title generator:

Just some things that stuck out to me from a title generator:
- Wizard, Heart, and City
- Memory and Mists
- God, Evil, and Scourge (TBH I could almost use this.)
- The Fate of Derebin (Radley thinks that he got averted from his proper fate, which was to die in a gutter before adulthood.)
- City, Child, and War
- Children of Discord
- Children of the Bright Garden (Heirs of Myth?)
- The Herald of the Mage
- The Spell and the Child
