I am completely reworking my novel

I don't want to be a dick or anything, but he kinda looks like carbon copy of Rudeus, just with brown eyes instead of green
I would go for a reroll and maybe a slight style change.

Well, since AI always uses already-existing material, it kinda make sense for the tool to recreate a Rudeus-like illustration, considering there's a lot of source-material the AI can find.
And that must also be influenced by what you ordered the AI to do. (like fantasy medieval boy with dark sword)

Those models don't "find" anything. They are pre-trained on data and are unable to "gain" anything new. Once training is completed, it stays that way. And they have almost nothing to LLMs that we today call "AI"
In other words, one used by OP was trained on Rudeus and possibly a few similar others, but it depends here -- can also be a multi-terabyte model that "has it all" but those usually suck ass.

Anyway, I personally would use something else. Civitai is free and has a lot of models and trainers to choose from, so it is a neat alternative.

There are so many models... I am feeling overwhelmed
