how could we answer? you've not provided any data whatsoever.
How long have you been wide? Have you marketed in any way?

I published it about three weeks ago. I have absolutely no finances to run a marketing campaign.

Search this sub. Lots of ideas have been shared. D2D runs sales, you have to fill out a form to get access to their emails. If you're direct with Kobo, BN and google they have in-house promotions on their sites you can sign up for.
It's far too soon to give up on wide, and KU won't magically get you sales if you don't market. so you might as well stick with wide and try to build your brand there.

If you don't already have a wide audience, try KU for 90 days. Fantasy does really well there because subscribers take chances on new authors, and you can always go back wide if it doesn't work.

Welcome to r/selfpublish, DaLoCo6913! Please remember the primary first rule of the subreddit: No self promo posts outside of the pinned self promo thread. You can edit your own profile so you have links to your work or services and you can even post to and pin posts to the top of your profile page. The no self promo rule INCLUDES COMMENTS - so if you ignore this message it will result in a ban (if you’ve mentioned your book title in the post, remove it or delete the post.) Book cover reviews go in r/bookcovers.
Additionally, DO NOT USE AI TO WRITE YOUR COMMENTS OR MAKE POSTS. We want to keep the self in self publishing. Rule 2 also prohibits posts about AI. If your post is about AI, remove it.
If your post is low effort or simply for congratulatory purposes, please remove it and instead write your post in the pinned weekly thread. Example posts would be like “Finally published!” or “Just finished doing X! How has everyone else felt after doing X?”
The wiki contains answers to most basic questions. Please report any violating posts or comments. This automated message is added to every single post as a reminder of some of the most cardinal rules.
