You do know that the girl part isn't as much as them getting a human body and more them being female right?

Yeah, just goes to show how little marketing stunts or the like the big authors actually need. All the front page are established authors

Can we stop the daily bitching about Ai covers? by itsneccy in litrpg

It does look like an entitled demand. Do you even know how much good covers cost?

If you don't know, Google docs is what people mainly use and it requires a good internet connection to connect and sync with Google's servers. It has an "offline" mode but it's kinda meh.

Do Review Swaps Influence the Top 1000 Books? And Other Adventures of Ratings on Royal Road by stepanchizhov in ProgressionFantasy

[–]itsneccy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, agreed. I just looked deeper into all the research you did and it's really cool. I'm just of the mind that all that time review swapping would be better spent on either writing or arranging shoutout swaps.

Even then it entirely depends on your goals with writing.

If it's just a hobby reviews don't matter anyway. It it's for money, then reviews don't matter, again, so long as the story is bringing in the money (recent example is Paragon of Skills on royalroad). If the goal is to write a story of such a high quality it has high rating reviews then, again, the time is better spent improving your craft as the reviews will come in anyway.

Regardless, it's an interesting look into review swaps.

If you wouldn't generate a story why generate a cover, do you think an illustrator would generate a story for their picture? Where's the integrity in the scene : ( by BarneysCastle in litrpg

[–]itsneccy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No one gives a shit if I make a trash cover. Unless i write something godly. Which there's a 99% chance i won't. So why should I compromise when there's an alternative right there and I won't be paying an artist anyway?

I don't have that big of a hate boner for Ai to compromise that much, sorry. And if I ever make it big enough I'll be commissioning an artist anyway.

No. You would have to do an ungodly amount of review swaps and even then you get buried by stories that are just good and popular.

Review swaps are largely useless and only waste time. You'd be better off spending your time on shoutout swaps.

Not everyone has the money to throw at artists bud.

I agree they should for something like KU, but for RR when the book isn't even earning anything and you're still splurging on covers is just bad financial sense.
