The demon of reading comprehension attacks you. It's obvious that I'm going to publish a volume with chapters. It's just that it's numbered 8.5 because it's the continuation of what happened in volume 8.

You're wrong, the most popular novels stand out because of their fandom, not because of their cover. With the cover, you only know that the novel is popular.

As I said, the physical format is absurd on a continent where people no longer read; the web format is better.

That escalated fast. Just was interested and tried to be nice.

You mentioned you will release the entire volume on Wednesday. I just didn't think you would release the entire volume in one go, so yeah, I might have misunderstood you, but if that's really the case, then your readers will be pleasantly surprised. Most people (99.9% of WN authors) wouldn't do it. They would release chapter by chapter over a span of a few days.

I think the demon of reading comprehension is attacking you, not me. My argument was simply that if I saw a novel with your cover in a store, it could compare with the others LN's next to it. I think it looks quite professional; that was what I was trying to get across. It's really quite good.
I wasn't talking about what makes a novel stand out in general. Obviously, you figured that out on your own. *wink wink*

Of course, the web format is better, but you said, and I quote:
Volume 8.5 of World Ixion/Saga will be released on Wednesday.

which implies that you will release the entire volume on Wednesday. I don't know how many chapters that makes, but that's really unorthodox and strange because you usually stretch out the chapters and not release them in one go. Releasing the entire volume in one go is almost unheard of, which made me question if you maybe release it for Supporters or on another page like Amazon, and YES, authors do that. They release their works in books. Since you create a brand new cover for each volume, I think it wasn't unreasonable to assume you might release your works on Amazon or another site.

Also, a volume 8.5 does not indicate a continuation, but it usually implies a side story. Every single volume is a continuation. It's a little silly. It's not an arc, but simply a volume. A volume is simply a measurement of pages and not content. Most LN's/Mangas have the same size, so even if the arc is not yet finished, the volume only contains so many chapters.

Anyway, I just wanted to tell you that the cover is nice, that's all! Just a little support.

No need to argue any further, good luck with your release, hopefully your readers enjoy it.

Would of been cool if the cover reflected the content a bit.
Like, maybe have the big titty anime girl in front of a giant mecha robot thing.
Without reading the title, I just assume this is some kind of hentai story where the likely rich, male MC gets a new slutty maid or something.

If your story is just for smut and no other substance, then amen I guess.

Yeah... honestly, the breasts on that waifu are a little much for me. I like large boobs like most red-blooded men, but that is excessive.

Now if you had her sitting on the mechs shoulder or in the mechs hand, like she was being rescued, I would like it more... as it is, all I can think of is that at first glance your novel is just about a noble girl trying to thirst trap your MC, and convince him to do something he doesnt want to do, because of boobs.

Exactly.
Missed opportunity.

Last I checked, guys like seeing hot bikini babes in car ads or even on shows like the price is right.
So, why not put hot anime ladies on some gundam? :blobrofl:

It's embarrassing because feminism turned them into deconstructed men.

In Asia, they're now releasing robots with boobs and skirts, look at Persona 3, Genshin, Zzz.

Only a loser who's afraid of fat women would say something like that.
Until the real reason the client wants a borderline obscene mech comes out, the whole section where the MC meets the client and hears his unusual demands is one of the funniest parts of the book so far.

Now THERE you go...

Though to promote The Mech Touch, Pocket FM did some really bad Youtube "Book Trailers" (seriously - if you want a laugh, look for the trailers for books you've read to see how far they stray from ANYTHING that happens ANYWHERE in the novel in these AI generated alleged trailers - one of the three or four for My Vampire System merges material from FOUR very different stories, all of which my wife listened to at different points) where a woman in a tight-fitting military uniform, with a young female assistant who is wearing, essentially, a school-girl's sailor suit are holding the MC captive, forcing him to do something; I just shook my head and closed the link at that, without trying to figure out what they were making him do - modify mechs on the fly it looked like.

Sorry, I didn't understand you. I was half asleep that day because I had just woken up. It was totally my fault, and I'm really sorry.

The volume will be released day by day starting tomorrow with the corresponding information and tags. In fact, I'm already getting it ready for tomorrow. When I turn on the computer, I'll just upload it and publish it here.

I had to change the cover because the owners of the website are probably woke = they're afraid of boobs and pretty women.

(But if it were a gay porn novel about Chinese people, they wouldn't say anything, right?)

I'd like to upload it to Amazon, but I have no idea how to do that, and of course, it would be in PDF format, not physical.

Thank you very much for your support, and have a nice day.

The type of things you look at is very noticeable because everything you say from the second paragraph down smells more like a woman looking for her average sadomasochistic porn novel.

I've been writing since the pandemic, and the protadas were just the logo of the work and the volume number. Last year I discovered AI (I already knew about it but never used it), so I decided to use it now.

A friend from abroad made me a cover based on what you said. The covers give a slight impression of what the story arc will be about, in this case a volume full of relaxation and fan service. The final volume will have a double cover because there are two arcs in the same event: the final war and what happens afterwards.
How to tell in one thread that people are on the internet too long.
I know right?

It doesn't cost you anything, and it's not in PDF format.

Amazon has its own software, and with 8.5 novel covers, you could potentially upload 9 entire volumes. It's quite easy and free, so you should really give it a go. Look for some guides for Kindle Unlimited.

They're not actually that big, the MILF queen has excessively large ones and she doesn't even have a cover yet.

According to the author, covers reflect what the work or story arc will be about. In this case, it indicates that it's a volume full of screams and fanservice, because spoiler. The characters are coming out of a war and what they need most now is to rest before the problems start again.

A friend made a cover because he liked the story, but he won't let me upload it, so I can't show it.

There's something called “excessive fanservice.” Do you know the anime Keijou? Well, it was an attempt to create a franchise based on fanservice, but for some reason it died because of excessive fanservice.

Here, the idea is to give a little fanservice so that people take the bait and then stay for the story. If I wanted to make a story focused solely on sex, I would just put the R18 tag at the beginning, and I want to do that after reading the manwha “Goblin King.”
Until the real reason the client wants a borderline obscene mech comes out, the whole section where the MC meets the client and hears his unusual demands is one of the funniest parts of the book so far.
Well, in Chinese gacha games, it's becoming popular to feature robot girls, and pixiv porn is made by Chinese people, so... there's a market for it, but whether anyone wants to do it is another matter.
Yeah, could even have her washing the mech.
Well, in my novel there is a lot of fan service about women's bodies. It's not much, but that's why it focuses too much on it, and I try not to make it too erotic because then the comments would say that they prefer that to the story.

But I want to write a story about a goblin who will have his own nation, and to have labor you need daughters, and for that you need human women, so you can imagine the rest...

No idea what you're talking about and I didn't ask.
Nor am I interested in porn novels, but thanks anyway.

Might want to ease up on the disdain for women, 'woke' people and the chinese?
It's possible you'll come across and rude and offensive.

Good luck with your cover~ :blobsip:
