Honestly, I just can't stand it. Why not have 'I Captured the Castle'?
Sounds much better.

What did you expect to be under here?

Because the book is titled 'I Capture the Castle'.

Well then, the book has a dumb title.

What did you expect to be under here?

It makes more sense in the book. In the primary chapter, she describes her family members, then states that she's "captured" them. Like, she's captured their essences in her diary for preservation. So, the title is a summary of what happens in the entirety of the book. She captures the castle.

You could think of it as a shortened form of "in which i capture the castle" if that would make the tense easier for you.

Please don't feed the trolls.
