Old cover Left. New Cover Right. Which do you think will attract more readers?

As an illustrator, we were told that the cover should have something to do with the story. So if I got to pick based on this standard, I'll pick the first cover.

However, if you want to bait lots of readers, an anime waifu (preferably with revealing clothes) would get you the attention you're craving for.

Left cover looks like something that can appear on the shelves of bookshops in the YA fiction corner.

Right cover gives me the vibes of an unprofessional weeb author who uses cartoon while having such an edgelord title. There better be horny illustrations alongside the light novel-ese writing style.

I like the left one, too. But very few people are viewing my first Chapter. If I had a lot of views of Chapter 1 (or the Prologue), but no views of Chapter 2, I'd say the novel needed a rewrite. But frankly, I can't get anyone to view Chapter 1.

Why not merge both?

No, I'm not crazy, I'm not talking of overlapping them. I mean, make an epic cover with detail... and also an anime waifu.
Something like a girl wearing revealing armor... fighting a dragon, with a volcano background
Also, stylized font is more attractive

Here . . . I wanted to see what the power of AI could deliver . .



And this one looks like she's pooping out the dragon . . .


Oh, I see, I see.
Wanna play the russian roulet after this?
I heard badass people do that.
If I'm playing it in the context of a fantasy novel where I can talk to the gun and tame it, absolutely!

First one bro. Most Anime covers scream low-quality to me.

But then again, i dont like eastern style writing (chinese, korean, japanese WN) the same way i used to anymore, so i might be biased.

Most people here seem like they still enjoy those tho...

Maybe its the title? Most fantasy nerds love magic and dont want to see it die. magic makes all your dreams come true and makes people feel like unique special snowflakes...

Magic = wish fulfilment

new cover. What do you think?
-Whao-ho, very nice. Look at that
-Picked them up from the printer's yesterday.
-Good coloring.
-That's "Bone". And the lettering is something called "Silian Rail".
-It's very cool... but that's nothing. Look at this.
-That is really nice.
-"Eggshell", with "Romalian" type. What do you think?
-[beat] Nice.
-Jesus. That is really super. How'd a nitwit like you get so tasteful?
