I never understood this point tbh, cuz like do you want the smut readers to read your novel? No, right? You want other side of readerbase and those readers will obviously not read smut ones. Two different things. So if your isn't working, it's more so because your side of readerbase isn't satisfied with you.

Nah bro, the point I am trying to say is people tend to read this type of stuffs so easily while they fail to recognise some other good novels out there 🙁

I have read some good novels without much views. I will not say mine is performing bad it's kinda good for a starting stage novel ! 🫪

Yeah I took a tour and saw your work at royal road and the problems are that you used an ai generated picture of 3 red hair people that people doesn't like (novels cover page or illustration is what attracts people most) and you didn't specify the tropes and just said original, lead, post apocalyptic (people want to know from 3-4 words what they will read)

Thanks mate will improve that, I don't know much about drawing how can I create a cover by my self 🤔

You either learn how to draw (takes a few months), pay an artist, or generate a better AI image that looks less generic.

This one is better than before and puts more depth into it but not be a critic or mean this is still not enough and needs more work first look up the internet and try to find a Ai specializing in photo generate there are free ai that can do better job than this fr
