How's my new cover look?

[John_Owl]

I just wanted to get some opinions on it

And just for fun, here's the original before the editing to make it a cover. It's far better than my current one, I think.

If it is Fractured Bonds, then shouldn’t it reflect that?

I tried, but there's not enough room in a 250x350 cover for my original idea of a fracture between the two parties. These are the MC's girls. The bond that has been fractured is the bond between MC and his parents. These are the ones that help him carry on.

Ah okay, I can see that working then. Still, it feels like it is missing something.

I can't quite place my finger on it. The MC? I could try another one with more of a battle theme, but Not sure how that'd work out...

Yeah, it works a bit more.

Ah, I think I know what has been scratching at me. If it is possible to do.

The MC can be at the center and the others surrounding them facing away. To save on room, it can be an image of the MC with their faces facing away, something more memory-like.

So, MC at the center of a ring of everyone else, with everyone facing away from him? It'd be kinda tight with that many people on a small area. I'm pushing it with the main 4, honestly. I do like the symbolism though.

Yeah, maybe it can be done with the four? Add a crack to the center and it should send the message well.

hmm.... let me see what I can come up with.

If I understand the tags and summary correctly, the story is primarily about building new relationships that are healthier and happier than the ones he's leaving behind, and to a lesser degree about sex. Neither the title nor the image really convey that

I think you could fix it by having one of the characters on the cover reach out a hand to the viewer, or welcome him into a group hug. If you go for the first one, the character who reaches out her hand should more or less be in the center of the image


PS this bit is less important but the background should be either blurry or low in detail, and the green t shirt kind of blends into the green of the background

Edit: I hadn't noticed that your title is longer than the one on the cover. That's clearer than I thought it was. I'd still try to somehow communicate that this is about a male mc with a harem, and not female friendship, but idk how

The colors dont suit each other... could just be me though
