Content

Vote for as many as you want, though keep in mind that voting for every option is roughly equivalent to not voting at all.

Make sure to check the last two and express your preference on whether Carlos should be shown in his modern-day clothes to express the isekai aspect.

I think chapter 4 would give the biggest idea for new readers what the story is about. Don’t get me wrong; I love Purple! But seeing a purple orb doesn’t really show “magic is programming”? And anything beyond that feels like too far into the story and spoilers

Michael Bazille

Merge the three ideas one up from the bottom.

Eddy G

If I may make a suggestion combining a few: Carlos showing Amber and Purple a spellcast that frays into code at the edges. Regardless, since it's book 1, I'd favor anything with all 3 MC and some aspects of coding.

Josh

I think Purple is awesome as well, but there are a million unremarkable stories about dungeons and dungeon cores. The cover should show what's unique and interesting about the story.

I've got to go reread book one i dont remember him wearing modern clothes

Hilton Janfield

I second this, though Purple would be very tiny at most points in the book, it would either have to have a large aura to be noticed, or perhaps clutched in Carlos' hand which would perhaps give an incorrect impression.

I believe someone suggested it on the previous post about cover art as representative of him isekai-ing. “even if not accurate to the scene” is the key part there

Douglas M

He got rid of them very early on, giving them to someone random as part of trying to mislead Darmelkon about where he'd gone.

Melissa Harden

I'm a fan of most including Amber with Carlos as she is the secondary lead and they make a great team, but purple being the best boy is tempting to focus on them even if dungeon core is a worn trope

Nicolae

unless you plan to make the world a simulation don't use 0 and 1s

Ian .N

Think it would be cool with the whole cover just being purple. And Carlos and Amber reflected on him. Like the moment they first picked him up or something.

I don’t like this is a good cover idea as it doesn’t reference the Programming aspect of the story which I think is important to showcase and catch new potential (programmer) readers attention
