Issues with series in title itself for a few books

I think it's intentional that way because some books contain "()" as part of their title and adding a space will make it up show it properly and not have Goodreads confused the words in parentheses as a series' title.

I think what Experiment was trying to say is that the feature of having a trailing space indicate that the thing in parentheses is not a series name but is a part of the title. No trailing space means the parentheses indicate a series.
I believe he was also trying to say there there needs to be a mechanism that would allow for titles that include parentheses as part of the title, and this is it.
Example title where this would be needed:
Everything you wanted to know about sex (but were afraid to ask).
This is a small thing, but it is annoying me, and I cannot seem to fix it. The following books actually have the series name in the title, so it reads like this: The Fellowship of the Ring (The Lord of the Rings, #1) (The Lord of the Rings #1)
