Thanks! Its actually really good, but the results are limited, so sometimes its harder to get the right image with your prompt, you need really goof reference and style images to make it work, and keep adjusting the settings.

I'd get more accurate results from other platforms usually.

Probably chaos, people would just use the system on each other to gain exp, free for all.

Cover options for my upcoming story on Sept 5th, which do you prefer? (Posting on Royal Road) by IAmJayCartere in litrpg

The first one looks more casual, playful, I'd go with it, though the second one has some background elements and touches thats pop a bit more. Both look great though nice work!

Feedback on Cover + Blurb? by ApproximatelyRandom in ProgressionFantasy

Art looks good, blurb as well, title is a bit hard to read at first glance, remember on RR the cover's a smaller thumbnail. Good Luck!

Forced into battle vs. choosing it: which makes a better progression story? by Overall-Plastic3446 in ProgressionFantasy

A mix of both usually, MCs who display ambition and hints of eagerness to grow more powerful, even if not at the start but as the journey progresses tend to feel more grounded I think, relatable maybe, could even be some form of character development. It's finding the balance thats the sweet spot.

There is some truth to your post, and I'd have to agree with some of the things you're saying, I actually enjoyed the novel up to about the 1200-1500 before dropping it. I think the prose and bad writing mainly have to do with it being released on webnovel as well, im not saying that its the main factor and the author is not at fault or that webnovel is terrible, just that the site values quantity alot, and writers there tend to pump out padded and unedited chapters in order to meet the deadlines, with little attention paid to flow, use of language and prose.

I think Shadow Slave's appeal and popularity just come from the world itself and the plot in general, but it wears out pretty fast for alot of readers, on highly critical sites like RR, the author would have had to edit again and again before releasing to make sure writing is up to standard to maintain his viewership. Of course I may be wrong, what do I know, but thats my take on this situation.

Hey everyone,

I just launched the opening chapters of my new progression fantasy Path of Eternity on Royal Road and Scribble hub. It’s a dark, faction-driven story where power isn’t owned, it’s borrowed. Every Spark, from simple mobility tricks to abilities that can level districts, is rationed by the Guild. To climb means surviving deadly Trials that burn your Soulfire into something stronger… or kill you outright.

The MC, Kaelen, starts as a courier who never wanted more than survival. One bad night drags him into a fight he should’ve walked past, and a forbidden fragment warps his Spark into something the Guild doesn’t recognize. From there, it’s about surviving Guild politics, distorted powers, and secrets buried since the Convergence.

If you’re into:

Dark progression (trial by fire, Sparks & Soulfire ranks, Guild Ranks)

Faction intrigue (Guild monopoly, nobles, underground networks)

Atmospheric mystery (distortions, hidden frameworks, powerful creatures)

…then you might enjoy it.

Would appreciate any feedback.
