Bump,
Please change the cover. Famous French National Paintings are a horrible idea for a cover. I would argue any Famous National Paintings would be a horrendous idea! The actual painting is in the Louvre
It also may create some legal liability since under French Law you are using a famous modified art image for profit!
Feel free to compare for yourself.
Oh My Dog !
Seems a little absurd but hey, whatever floats his boat.
well you want to let them sue qidian for copyright issues? good luck, maybe they can jump on the bandwagon with WW :D

Billdoor It is in public domain so I doubt there is any real legal case, but the optics are horrible. The cover is horrible.
I don't really understand who decided it was a good cover to use to begin with! It is full of shitty graphic edits, the head doesn't look right, the musket turned "staff" clearly has the ram rod visible. The hammer is still partially visible. The hat looks like shit. The person on their hand & knees looks like they are about to give a blowjob! The person in the French hat on the left looks like he just walked into an orgy or cat-house , all wide-eyed in excitement.
I could go on. It's just that bad. It is a horrendous, abhorrent cover. How can Qidian decide to make a mockery of what is a symbol of French freedom.
Actually spoke with the editor lead for When a Mage Revolts and he said cover design is completely decided by Qidian International management.
He said he would forward the complaint to about the cover to Qidian.
Hopefully something will happen, but tbh I will not be betting on it.
8 days later
The cover has been changed to the original one. Rejoice everyone!
Hurrah! Just noticed the cover was changed! Glad to see that Qidian occasionally listens:)
