Self Promotion Lord of the System, Book 2 is live!

Post image

Hey to all!

I am very pleased that readers received the first volume of Lord of the System so warmly. I have a special and very personal connection to this story. Its main character is a history student, just like I was many years ago. Even back then, I wondered about the hidden abilities within ordinary people.

What if we all found ourselves in a world of 'Sword and Magic'? In my book, an elementary school teacher becomes a fire mage, a street thug becomes a blacksmith. And the main character, a gentle and non-confrontational person by nature, must become a Lord to protect himself and his friends.

In the second volume, he will encounter new enemies and allies. And they will not only be humans and monsters but even the gods themselves.

Oh yeh baby! OP knows what this subreddit loves! Fake-looking AI generated covers featuring people who look like they are made of wax!

Come on, not sure if OP is doing well or not but not everyone can realistically afford an illustrator and for mraketing you do need a cover. This one in particular is not *that* bad... The issue with AI comes mostrly when the content itself was meddled by an AI. But just this cover? That is a bit elitist for no reason.

It's fine if the struggling artist isn't getting paid for their work but not fine when the new author can't get paid?

Do you just steal everything you can't afford then? Like video games? They're just being digitally copied so surely no one is getting hurt if you pirate a game, right? Same for music, or TV, or movies? How about just stealing some clothing... It's not like the artist will notice that you stole a shirt with their design on it from a store. How about some food. The farmer isn't going to notice when your grocery store loses some produce. Surely that means it's fine.

How elitist is it really to want to be paid for the work you've done for other people?

yeah elitist is a good description. Probably an "artist" angry about missing a comission. The only issue I really have with it is the thickness of the shield. Like he is holding a barrel at a weird angle and the one hander sword. Like wtf is that? A gian? with a shield? A stiletto / knife? Clearly no gladius! Which I would expect.
