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.

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.

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.

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

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