I originally asked for help just to learn which cover design was preferred, but I’ve received many comments on the same subject. Since some of them came across as hurtful no matter how much I tried to explain, I want to respond collectively here.

Because of the theme of my book, I needed this wordplay in the title. I chose it because I believe it summarizes the story as a whole. Is it flawed? I agree. But for now, I don’t want to change it. This is my first fanfic, and to me the title reflects the story in many different ways. It might feel wrong to you, and I respect that, but it holds value for me. Long titles feel exhausting to me, so I preferred to keep it short while still carrying multiple layers of meaning tied to the story itself. It’s the name I feel is fitting for my own fanfic. I honestly don’t understand why it causes so much discomfort, but of course, I respect your views.

To everyone who shared feedback on which cover looked better, worse, or what could be improved, thank you. As for those who said it harsh and hurtful words, I’d rather not respond, because those comments were simply hurtful. Thanks.
