《Tentacles, loot boxes and apocalypse [monster evolution story]》Final cover art, and style questions
Advertisement
Style
I've been thinking about the way I'm writing the novel recently and I was wondering if there are any stylistic suggestions you might have, like "less descriptions, more plot", or "go to actual interactions faster". Or maybe the other way around, you want more lore and systems! And I know regular schedule is the thing you would like the most, I know, I'm trying to improve now that I'm back to normal life (I was sick, then immediately after I went on pre-planned vacation, but I'm back now).
I would be really thankful for comments, I promise not to bite and to give a like, even if you criticize.

Careful - very NSFW. If not for RR and SH policies about cover art this would also be more.. risque.
The full body is unfortunately too small to work well as thumbnail, so I have to select best "clipped" version. Please vote on which one you would me most likely to click on.

Bonus: A photo of tentacles I took in aquarium in Italy, when I was vacationing.
Maybe it's a goblin that was isekaid from another world into our worlds aquarium? Damn, write that down, write that down! Good novel idea!

A Beginner's Guide to Napping, Sunbathing, and Slaughtering Your Prey
Fang is a simple cat. Fang likes napping in the sun. Fang does not like being called Chairman Meow. Fang likes his belly being scratched for precisely 17.329 seconds. Fang does not like being punted between dimensions. Fang likes hunting and killing defenseless wildlife. Fang does not like mysterious blue boxes that appear out of thin air. Fang is having a Very Bad Day. A few things to note: Fang is a cat soul in a cat body, and that's not going to change any time soon. No cat girl evolution or possessed puppet or any of that. The slice of life tag is there for a reason. There is no epic tale here, only a cat doing cat things in a (hopefully) interesting setting. The game elements are pretty light, mostly there for flavor, so don't expect a huge amount of crunch. Nature is cruel, and cats are crueler than most.

The Fundamentals
You hear of many tales out there. Some depict worthy heroes wielding tremendous power, noble personas that fight to save the lives of their close friends, family, and all the rest. Good triumphs over evil, that is simply the way the world works, no? While this premise is something inherent to nearly all stories, what exactly the heroes used to attain success can differ greatly. Perhaps they've trained themselves to the limit, pushing past boundaries nobody else could hope to achieve. Others still, have merely inherited the grand legacy of another legendary being, but what they have done with such a legacy would cause their names to be passed on for generations. Rowan is one of the heroes who have ventured beyond the horizon, tempering themselves on a perilous journey all the while and succeeding in attaining strength beyond measure. However, in an unexpected turn of events, this strength caused him to tear open and fall through a hole in the realm he resided in. Now he has ended up in a completely foreign realm, whose inhabitants utilized strange powers that eclipsed his own. Fortune would smile upon him this day, however, as he discovered that they were not hostile, and even offered to teach him their ways. Rowan could see that this was truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and eagerly accepted their invitation to learn what would come to be known as: The Fundamentals.
