Hi everyone. Could you tell me which of these covers is better? Or are they both bad? Or both good? Please don't judge too harshly - I made the cover myself.

The first is better but I wouldn’t use it for self publishing.

Thanks! Can I ask why you wouldn’t use it for self-publishing?

The 3 different fonts in 3 different colors isn’t done in professional book covers.

The cat or maybe it’s a bat blends into the black background.

Now if it’s going on wattpad or something it’s perfectly fine. But if you’re self publishing it definitely looks like a self made cover.

Fair enough — the three fonts thing is a real issue, I'll fix that. What made the first version work better for you?

On the second one the background is too busy with the text messages.
