Thanks.The first one, no contest at all
Huh. You know, looking at it again, my only gripe is the sword. It's too thin in the middle, would make it weak there. And towards the point, the width swells. Would mess with the balance of the weapon, among other things.Thanks.
That would me misleading my readers to include boobs :( but everybody tells me that.If you want a marketable cover, combine boobs with edgyness.
With that said, number one wins here.
That is actually a traditional style. Leaf shaped blades were common among celtic people, although they were usually shorter swords. A leaf shaped longsword isn't as far fetched as it seems, despite the obvious weaknesses.Huh. You know, looking at it again, my only gripe is the sword.

But yeah it's mainly just a gripe
Because everyone who says "dont judge a book by its cover" are fucking idiots. That's the reason we put covers on books in the first place. Its the whole purpose of a cover.Why not focus on writing an actually compelling story, instead of obsessing over the cover? Also more booba plz.
I've seen leaf shaped blades, but that middle is simply too thin and its not even leaf shaped all throughout. Just that swell. which is weird. I mean I'm sure this has probably been a thing at some point throughout history, but usually odd shaped swords like this died out fast cuz they werent as practical as some others. Every shape has its strengths and weaknesses, this just seems to have more weaknesses than a normal longsword.That is actually a traditional style.

He's made like five of these threads though. At some point you just have to face the reality that the cover may not be the only reason you're not getting reads.Because everyone who says "dont judge a book by its cover" are fucking idiots.

Yeah I get wanting feedback. But it's gone a bit far. Has the novel even been published yet? I thought this was just setup. Looks like professional quality stuff too.He's made like five of these threads though.
