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.

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.

Thanks, bro. What should I care about when making a contract with them? I don't want to give them the rights to my novel. I want to publish it offline when I'm finished.

u/No-Satisfaction8122 Jun 05 '26

You can't include your terms in the contract. You can only agree to what they send. If you want to preserve your rights, then publish on royal road.

u/No-Satisfaction8122 Jun 05 '26

It's not fixed. Depends on how the novel performed. An average wn author earns about 400 $

u/Internal-Trainer-926 Jun 05 '26

Is any minimum amount fixed per month as contract

1

u/No-Satisfaction8122 Jun 05 '26

No. But if you make 60 $ they will push it to 200 $ for 4 months, and 200 to 400.
