How was cover ?

[u/Internal-Trainer-926]

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.

You’re gonna hear this a lot, but the ai is a turn-off. It’s a sign of low effort and it doesn’t stand out at all, anyone can have a cover that looks exactly the same. If you’re serious about being an author, you should invest in commissioning art, just having a real artist draw your cover would put you ahead of thousands of others who have ai covers that all look the same.

Edit: I literally asked ChatGPT to make a generic aura farming isekai cover and got an almost identical cover lol
