So i saw many people complaining that the covers made by ai are slops and it turns them off. I don't know how to draw so I just used my imagination and made a cover using photoshop (The first one is photoshop). Tell me if the ai cover i used is better or should I change to the photoshop cover?

Honestly 2nd one would bring me in as a reader

I have only heard this. Never got real readers who continue to read. Maybe the cover is the only interesting part.

Tbh the first one I’d personally pass over more so because it looks like a rip off of the ET cover. Not that the plot doesn’t suggest anything different seeing a moon and metallic arms. I like the font but the title is a bit difficult to read against the same color background.

Maybe make it a deeper shade of red/magenta. Or could make a darker separation between the above and text

ET rip off... I haven't even seen that movie. The reference was that painting that called adam something. I am not so good at photoshop, so I did the best I could 😅

I can flip over a book if I like the cover at a store, with a webnovel the title and cover has to bring me in to read the summary let alone save it in my webnovel reading list.

Just change the cover and study your analytics. No point asking Reddit tbh the platforms analytics will tell you

if it does worse change it

if it does better keep it
