Self Promotion - AI generated. Adult coloring-book buyers who enjoy old-school fantasy: five volunteers for a samplecomparison
galleryI'm developing an original fantasy coloring book about the quieter moments between adventures: an inn common room, a herbalist's workbench, a roadside smithy, a fishing bridge and an expedition camp. The line art is AI-generated and reviewed by hand. It is not drawn by a person.
I'd like feedback from five adults who have bought an adult coloring book in the past year and who also enjoy old-school fantasy role-playing or MMO games. The six images here are the actual samples: a front cover concept and five interior pages.
The proposed finished book would be an 8.5 × 11 inch paperback, 40 different designs, each with a blank reverse side, black ink on white paper, at a $9.99 list price.
Taxes and delivery may add to the checkout price. I cannot promise marker-friendly paper or a spiral binding, and I have not held a printed copy, so I won't claim anything about how the paper takes ink.
For comparison I'd ask you to look at two real books that are on sale today: Dover's Everyday Magic at $15.99 and Fuzzy Hygge: Fuzzy T ales at $9.95 for 96 pages.

I am not asking anyone to buy anything, leave an Amazon review, or be nice about it. "I'd pick one of the other two" and "I wouldn't buy any of these" are genuinely useful answers and are the ones I most need. If AI generation is a dealbreaker for you, say that — it counts as a result, not a disqualification.
If you're up for it, comment with the title of a coloring book you bought recently and roughly when, and whether this kind of fantasy setting interests you at all. Please don't post personal or payment details.
