Is this cover too boring?

[MareoKen]

I wonder if my cover appears boring or unattractive to others, I've seen a lot of covers here include a drawing of their characters or a waifulabs image. Should I follow the trend as well?

Cover of Spirit Exorcists

Question is: Do you want views by relying on boobs?

A cover should fit the story. The impression your story gives off to me is cute ghost, mystery, kinda modern (disorted screen effect).

It's a basic cover, I would say. Neither bad nor earth-shaking good. You can exchange it for a better one when you have one.

Hahaha well, I wasn't planning on putting boobs, but I get what you mean, and I definitely want them to stay for the story. I thought maybe seeing a character from my novel would help attract readers.

I have one in mind that sort of replaces the ghost with a character from my novel (generated with waifulabs until I can make a good one on my own). Nothing revealing or anything XD just a character's face.

But ghost, mystery, modern is exactly the vibe I'm going for haha so glad it comes off that way! Maybe not cute tho because the ghosts in my story are anything but haha

Thanks for the advice :)

the eyes make it look cute to me

maybe it will look not so cute anymore if the eyesockets have black liquid oozing out of them

loooks great, the neon blue of title works well with theme and color scheme. personally i would shift the title under the ghost image, or at least to its lower quarter where the text doesn't overlap with the arms/chest. above might also work, tho i like more the feel of a ghost rising up into the void instead of being framed. subjective tho.

Heyy that sounds awfully familiar ?
If you read my novel, thanks for the support!

If you didn't read it then that reference and that emoji with the wall was super coincidental hahhaha

Maybe a cute ghost works! haha wouldn't want to actually scare readers away ?

I mainly read BL and a few selected action novels so those emoticons were 100% coincidental ~

Nope, cover looks nice.

Now if you mean a cover that will attract readers on ScribbleHub? Maybe not...

You're current cover is very professional, and much better than the waifu trash that all looks the same.

What I mean by that is, I could see finding a book with a cover your cover at barnes & noble or other retailers.

In terms of attracting attention to your work though, I can't really say, as a lot of the trending content in my opinion are quite mediocre even by web-novel standards. So what the people like to read or are attracted by is unknown by me.
