Despite my usual preference for people-free covers, the 'Ruthless People' duo is undeniably a standout exception
If it's cutesy drawings, it's fine. But the photos or AI art to make it look like a real person, ewww
most of the time yeah totally. but in some cases, like with The Scarlet Alchemist, I think it looks pretty cool ngl
ME TOO OMG! it’s such an ick of mine idky, esp when they’re thirst trapping 😭🙏🏽, like ain’t no way i’m picking up a book with a shirtless guy on it im sorry no offenceidm drawings but it sm times ruins my perception of the characters 😞 (icebreaker and love hypothesis)
i need a captivating cover, and a good title more than anytbjng lol
I prefer the discreet covers, especially for my bookshelf and on my kindle. My husband and I share a KU acc and he gets all the emails and recommendations with all the shirtless guys. I don't mine the cartoon covers.
Wait like actual people like real life ones or the ones that look like cartoons almost? Cause the cartoon ones i love but the real peoles ones no. Cause like eh.
I read the book long shot by kennedy Ryan but the version I got didn’t have anybody on the cover so when I saw another cover of it with an actual guy SHIRTLESS on it I was like oh. he looked nothing like how I imagined he would and it was kinda cringey
SAMMMMEEE. I. HATE. PEOPLE. ON. COVERS. I also hate animated people on covers. just not having people on a cover is a blessing
Same i hate cartoon characters anddd the shirtless men i like when the cover has some actual good art like roses or sum
same, kinda. i’m not the biggest fan of cartoon covers and i hate the shirtless men on the cover of spicy books, but fantasy usually has really awesome covers that include people (i know its mainly just realistic artwork but i count it). like the OG Ember in The Ashes covers by Sabaa Tahir - those are PERFECT 👌🏼but the original covers for the four horseman series and the twisted series… 🤢
I also don’t love real people on covers. I will not buy a physical copy of a book if it has some shirtless man on it. I can’t put that on my book shelf.

I actually hate the cartoon covers. I prefer real people on my book covers, which I see is an unpopular opinion.
