Assistance for a "Re-Release"

[Esden-Noir]

So basically, last time I released a novel named "The World Without Mercy" I'm thinking that I've rewritten majority of the original work, I'll start releasing the novel with a full update. New cover art, new chapter, and a full rework. I've gave the new cover art under here. I'd say it captures the story more then the last one. But what I'm here for today, I don't know how to write a compelling synopsis for the novel, should I go with a 3th person view or a first person view for the synopsis? And how much should I spoil on it.
Here I've gave my synopsis: give cretinism. Rate it. Or

In the shadowed veils of a world where demons stir in forgotten seals and mythical bloodlines burn with forbidden fire, Sylas is forged in the crucible of loss. Orphaned and adrift, he finds fleeting sanctuary in Mercy's embrace—a woman whose quiet compassion shields him and his steadfast friend Kael from the encroaching storm of war.
But when a ruthless decree from the Eclits Jurisprudence brands their haven heretical, horrors erupt that twist love into nightmare. Scarred in body and soul, Sylas taps into Omnimancy—a volatile magic that ignites only when one confronts the abyss, fueled by a vow etched in blood: revenge.

Guided by enigmatic captains of war like Ashrosa and the wry Esmeth Rowan, Sylas navigates treacherous factions, arcane enigmas, and visions of his own fractured self. In a realm where spells demand your essence and faith crumbles to dust, every alliance hides a dagger, and power exacts the ultimate toll: the soul itself. Can Sylas harness his forsaken legacy to defy the darkness, or will his quest unravel into a philanthropy born of rot—saving nothing while damning all?

The World Without Mercy is a pulse-racing dark fantasy of visceral magic, fractured bonds, and defiant fury—where heroes inherit ruin, and every strike echoes eternity. For readers who crave the intricate lore of The Stormlight Archive and the raw emotion of The Broken Earth, this saga seizes the imagination and refuses to let go.

And the link to the said novel is here:

Safe bet: you write the perspective that the novel is written in
this gives the reader the best preview of your writing style

I've seen novels that had a different POV for the synopsis, but most often 3rd POV while the work was 1POV. 1POV synopsis with 3POV main text is less common, but is advisable when the selling point is unique character instead of grand setting.

But what I hate the most is a pretentious synopsis that tells me nothing about the story setting and expects me to delve in 50+ chapters just to find out I absolutely hate the setting. I rather get spoilered the whole plot than go in confused as if I were reading some mtl.

Also this new cover screams AI.

True enough I should write it in My the original writing style. And bro I drew the image just the shading is too bright. That's why it looks like ai/or maybe the quality here is making it weird.

And I published the first 2 chaps of the novel, if you want check it out

Please submit your synopsis to this thread. Perhaps other members can offer criticism and suggestions to improve your synopsis.

In general, a synopsis should include the premise of your fiction: it should contain a protagonist, conflict, and stakes that make the reader care about your work.

it's more the overall feel is very AI like
the font doesn't fit and together it looks mismatched
the background is overshadowing the main protagonists in the front

great characterart+clashing background+bad font choice= cheap, which I associate with AI

Hmm, so the only problem is the text? Which I understand because the app I used to paste the text was on my phone. If so I should change the font—Right?

Like here is the raw image should I just add diff font? Upscaling it made the eyes kind weird lol
Or should I ditch it and use the second image?

You butchered the artwork with the additional extras.

Keep it simple. No golden edge, no black fade on the bottom for your name. There is already too much going on in the art itself. Play around with different fonts, their sizes and placement.

No white font color. Your background has already white parts, dunno try gold, the red of the guys coat or another color that is already there. Just not white. Next time make art with typography already planned in the composition stage. Makes it easier to not overwork the artwork.
