Am I seeing things, or is the cover an AI image?
The guns seem a little off in places, their left hands are a little formless and kinda blurry, the gold on the watch blurs into the leather, the shading and forms on the ruffles don’t make a lot of sense, their ears aren’t drawn with a similar style and the whole thing has that glossy sheen to it that AI loves to produce.
Maybe some people don’t care, but I’m really hoping this isn’t the case…

Casual reminder that if you hate a character, it does not inherently make them a badly written character, only a bad person. (In this case, anyway.)
I’ve met people like this in real life, they’re horrible. That’s why I’m interested to see where this goes and how the author treats this type of personality. It’s all about being entertained while reading in the end.
Well, not the most well-wrapped ending. There’s a few unaddressed loose ends floating about. But it certainly doesn’t ruin the entirety of the work like I see a small handful of people saying. These characters are VERY well written, so if you’re the creative sort who likes to write or make characters, this is worth a read for the inspiration alone.
Also if you like language, apparently. I learned, like, seven new words reading this. Big fan of “encomium’ and “quixotic.” lol
