Hello, I share the same concerns as another reader of your story, “Safe Haven.” While I have yet to read the story your description portrays both the characters as adults with a size gap. I have no issues and personally enjoy a good size gap in a story. My concern is that the cover art portrays the mc with a childlike appearance in comparison with the ml.
My next point is purely opinionated, but is the cover art also ai? I feel there are more ethical ways to get cover art, like Pinterest, commissioning, and or doing it yourself if it is ai.
But my main concern is the portrayal of the mc. Since it’s a gay story it’s important to know that lots of people already portray gay people as predators so the cover is concerning in that way. It’s also concerning since people of all ages have access to the story and it would be harmful for the younger audience to see the cover, despite them being adults, and believe something like that is acceptable.
Nonetheless, I’m sure your writing is amazing and you don’t have to listen to my concerns but I thought I could at least share them.
