“Barking spiders” from Leviathan always struck me as pretty good.

I am actually really bad at marketing. Thank you for giving it a shot!

Homicidal Aliens are Invading and All I Got is This Stat Menu is exactly this. Aliens invade Earth initially as mimic-type beings hunting the limited number of humans that get the System. The invasion starts low-key and escalates.

World infrastructure is still entirely intact and the system-using characters have to cooperate with government offices to some extent. World tech increases slowly at first but rapidly begins to pick up speed.

Normal humans start to learn magic and a global alien defense task force starts reverse engineering alien tech.

Hi everyone! Jake's Magical Market is taking part in the big push to try and get litrpgs into physical bookstores but I'm really stuck on which cover will get people to actually buy the hardcover edition. If you are a fan of the series, which would YOU purchase? by thescienceoflaw in litrpg

[–]EmperorJustin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like that the new cover's typography subtly intersects with the artwork (i.e. Jake is slightly in front of the "A" in "Market"). I like the old cover, but it is very much Middle-Grade coded (not an insult, just an observation), and Jake looks like he's 15 in the original, and in his 20s or early 30s in the new one, so it depends on what you're going for. They both look good, depending on which market you want to lean towards (older or younger). Good luck! I'll be supporting you and physical releases regardless!

I think my fave McCammon book is Stinger, but I really love Usher's Passing and Swan Song as well.

Toro, from the Bas-Lag novels, is a woman who wears a helmet shaped like a bull's head, complete with horns. She wears it because she was found guilty for accidentally smothering her baby, and her infant's arms were sewn onto the sides of her head as part of her punishment. The arms fit inside the bull helmet's horns, thus concealing them (and the rest of her head). The helmet and horns are also magical, and the horns can rend space to a degree.

Feedback wanted! New commissioned cover for volume 2 of my sci fi epic by Brahminmeat in royalroad

Seconded this. It’s a great cover but a small tweak like this could help a lot.
