I only remember the authors of recurring series that I liked enough to keep reading. I only recognize authors of series with 2-3 volumes if they have another long-running series from which I know the name. Or if the name stands out somehow. For example, I’m currently reading Min-Maxing My TRPG Build and I know the author’s name not only because it’s a long-running series that I like but also because he uses a German word as his handle. Stuff like that. On the flip side, I have problems remembering the names of authors that have a generic Japanese-sounding name. That’s how I almost walked into the trap of reading Dimension Wave even though it’s from the Shield Hero writer.
Yeah, that’s pretty much my thing too. And if they have a really short pen name, it really sticks. That’s how I remember people like Llo (Reincarnated as a Sword artist) and FUNA… names so short they’re easy to remember and skill that sticks out. The two is basically brain glue that makes it stick. Although I keep trying to call FUNA “YUNA” for some reason. /shrug
How do you remember the authors?
I can only remember FUNA. I can’t even remember AOAB or Death Marchs authors.

You’re reading the wrong series.
