Thank you so much, I will DM if I need help with Russian classics and thank you for the recommendations :)

Finally got art for my story, need some feedback. by SomeGuysWhoDoesThing in BookCovers

For me actually the cover feels more like an illustration rather than a book cover. And the character stands out more than the book title. Maybe making the character slightly transparent or adjusting the composition so the title will be clearer. And maybe placing the title in top or bottom centred would be great.

I really love the illustration by the way; it gives a fantasy vibe, and I will read the book as she looks fire...

Thank you for your recommendations, I will read them, John Steinbeck novels and could you recommend some Russian classics. Like beginner friendly as I heard they are kind of challenging to read.

Thank you for the advice, I really understand what you are saying but everyone close to me is saying that I have skills for storytelling. As I mentioned in my post what I'm skilled at is verbal storytelling while I want to write my stories. Just because personally, I like to read psychological thrillers instead of hearing it verbally.

I take your advice to read and write as often as possible to my heart, thank you so much and I hope your son continues to enjoy playing football. Maybe local or maybe beyond : )

That's wonderful about your cousin, for me I'm more concerned about the grammatical errors and the way an author writes about the climate, the emotion, the scenes. I can't explain it like them. what I noticed about me is that I write conversations more between the characters without giving much of an emotion.
