TLN is an abbreviation often used in Japanese manga series to indicate a translator's note when published in another language. These notes usually indicate when a word or phrase does not directly translate, so some approximation of the word or phrase has been made.
TLN: there is no direct translation for this word but this is the closest I can get to the meaning.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
