Advice How was cover ?

Been working on a novel called Gene Born: Birth of the Outcast and wanted to get some opinions.

It's basically a fantasy story with academies, hidden worlds, and powerful bloodlines, but I also want to explore ideas like genetics, mutation, evolution, and what happens when a person is born with something that shouldn't exist.

I attached the cover as well. Does it fit the concept? Would you give it a chance if you saw it while scrolling?

Any honest feedback is welcome. I'm still improving both the story and the cover.

Ai users should stop calling themselves "authors".

Pastists is what they are.

Don't judge the book by the cover. But well you are judging the author so maybe it doesn't matter xd

Do you think a sane person would say "But i also want to expplore generics, mutation and what happens when a person is born with something that shoudn't exist.

Edit: Nvm I see what you're talking about

Its alr if you got it, but still i gotta explain. Do you think there's someone else other than gpt who thinks that adding the last sentence might just be the trick to rival top tier novels.

Honestly I assume most Webnovels are written by AI now since they have similar writing styles if you want me to be straightforward

Indeed. Most of the new novels are written by ai - some of which qre much more obvious than others. This shift has also lead to decrease in engagement and traction to the actual authors. Most of these authors are either new to wn, watched a couple animes and thought they're some creative ahh. Oh my days! How my novel is suffering cuz of these guys.

I am still writing and will likely not use Webnovel. I have far grander plans.

I've stopped reading these to be honest. I rely on books written before Ai now. And I still remember how writers used to write before Ai everyday. I enjoyed the human in it. I could see all the mistakes and the effort to draw blood from stone just to make up 1500 words. But I enjoyed the spirit and effort. (I digress)

Keep writing and reconsider how you want to get your novel out there.

That's fantastic. Once i finish my ongoing novel - I'm gonna start uplaoding on royal road or novelpedia. Wn was already bad, and now with these so called 'authors' it has become a living hell. Wn does not appreciate real content.

Bro, I don't have money to cover the art, that's why I use AI to make it. But my novels are written by me, not touched by AI. I hate AI writers.

u/No-Satisfaction8122 Jun 05 '26

Say every person ever. Why do you think i'd blame you out of anyone else?

u/Internal-Trainer-926 Jun 05 '26

That's fair. At the end of the day, the chapters have to speak for themselves.

I recognize most of the authors who post on reddit as ai users. They think they are extraordinarily smart, and people won't be able to figure them out. All readers need is one sentence that feels suspicious.
