Better book cover?

[strawcake]

So I am conflicted on what the cover image of my story should be. Let me remind you that have absolutely no creativity with this so if u have suggestions plz say son!

Option 1

Option 2

Option 3

1, with 3 as distant second choice.

I like the clearer artwork and the subtlety of emotion displayed.
The surroundings frame the MC(I assume) well, the coloring is crisp. Took me a while to realize that hair is being cut instead of smoke rising, but that's just my overworked and at times retarded brain, sure others will catch on quicker. (maybe its the long hair strands on shoulder that confuses the eye, they don't conform to phsyical shape of surface they are on, that is, lying over the folds, sticking to cloth. Minor tho, still a good cover)

1. if your MC is depressed
2. if your MC is a crazy mofo with and IQ of 2 or lower
3. if your MC is a sadistic nutjob of a hypocrit

Idk about BL audience and what they would click on. Those are just the impression I have from the pics on what to expect. Personally, I like the first image the best.

1 is nice, but really, I'm leaning more towards 3.
I wouldn't really suggest 2 unless your ML is crazy beyond hope. []~(￣▽￣)~*

In Ai-chan's opinion, 1 and 2 doesn't seem to have anything to do with 'dead amnesiac life'. Like what's with all the ofuda and the microphone? Is he being sealed? Is he a crazed satanic worshipping black metal performer?

3 doesn't seem to have anything to do with the title either, like what relation does the nun headress has with the title? But it at least looks better, and it gives the impression of film noir for the book. Ai-chan doesn't know if the novel portrays a film noir story, but that noir is the impression the cover gives. If you would tone down the bright red background and brighten the red eyes a little more, that would be great. You're emphasizing the wrong thing.

3 has the most sex appeal in my eyes, but different people have different tastes.

I do agree with this statement but I would add that you can read the title in number three better. Also I think the artwork of number one and three is really good.

So all in all I would go with option 3 as long as the MC's character can go along with the confident theme.

1 for colors. most won't even be able to recognize the content of the image, just the colors.

1. Character looks dead on inside. Actually seems to connect to title on the dead part.
2. Punk demon zombie.
3. Doesn't seem to connect to title for me.

All are actually nice covers. However not really the target audience; opinion may differ from others.
