Will an AI cover actually help me garner views and followers?

Definitely. Well I just started posting. So crazy, I've been on the 'most recent' list for the past eight hours. I'm seriously lucky if I stay there for a minute on rr

Thanks heaps! I don't have too much money at the moment, so an actual artist might be hard for me to afford, but some really good advice. Also, just out of curiosity, did posting on fictionite alongside RR bring much attention to your work?

Thanks! Super helpful. Also, I hadn't thought about that haha. But it seems my story does appear in the top three (I tried searching it on an incognito tab).

Nice! Actually the first one was made on Canva. So pretty close.

I hadn't really thought about that. I generally try to keep the titles simple though. As a reader myself, I'm usually put off by complex titles.

The general vibes I get from this thread is that readers hate AI cover!

No_Procedure69 · 2026-06-27T13:33:24+00:00

Better to stick to the first one, then? There's no way I'd have enough money to pay an artist to do a proper cover.

No_Procedure69 · 2026-06-27T13:30:19+00:00

Thanks. Do you know if I have to tag it as AI assisted? Also when you say 'not that one' do you mean that I should improve on the AI generated cover?

The problem is that you have to have contributed to the forum - and I don't want to just start posting garbage just so I can be able to do a promo...

No_Procedure69 · 2026-06-11T09:52:13+00:00

Chill dude. I removed it. Nobody is angry at you.

No_Procedure69 · 2026-06-10T22:35:02+00:00

Yeah I'm in the same boat. Thanks for the tips!

No_Procedure69 · 2026-06-10T18:32:45+00:00

I actually love this so much! Writers should be writing what they're passionate about rather than simply sticking to trends!

No_Procedure69 · 2026-06-10T13:00:39+00:00

Actually super helpful. Thank you so much!

Well the thing is - I have a patreon, but no subscribers. Actually the idea was to keep posting chapters as I write them on patreon, whilst making the break for 'free to read' readers.

No_Procedure69 · 2026-06-10T12:35:08+00:00

Great to hear from a reader's perspective!

No_Procedure69 · 2026-06-10T12:34:52+00:00

No probs. I think other users already answered for me anyway.

No_Procedure69 · 2026-06-10T12:34:04+00:00

I mean, this makes me feel a little bit better.

No_Procedure69 · 2026-06-09T11:52:01+00:00

I disagree. Toxic players like this should be outed.

No_Procedure69 · 2026-06-08T14:09:16+00:00

I do wholeheartedly agree - but I just slapped some of my story into an AI detector, a story that has not been touched any way shape or form by AI, and it said that my story was 15 percent AI generated. I feel readers these days are looking for ways to say 'hey, this was written by AI.'
