Is it wrong to ask for reviews for my first book on Amazon Kindle? It's free with Kindle Unlimited.

I just published a *very spicy* rockstar romance on KDP and have had tons of critiques from the Scribophile community and one encouraging manuscript review from a beta reader.

It's a fun, quick, high-heat read for those who enjoy this genre and I think I just need some initial reviews to gain a little bit of momentum.

Since it's free on Kindle Unlimited, I'm thinking there's no harm in seeing if anyone is interested in reading it/giving a quick review? It is my first novel/novella, so there's a fear that it's garbage (I mean, it's sexy brain rot in the absolute best way in my opinion), but I love the story/spice and I've gotten positive feedback so far leading up to publishing.

Damocles: Rhythm and Ruin, by Liv Marie - I will link in the comments JUST IN CASE someone actually wants to read/review!

Its a dual POV story of a dark and dominant drummer (MMC) and a self sabotaging girl (FMC) who end up complimenting each other perfectly (in an out of the bedroom). The story takes you through the ebs and flows of their self-preserving insecurities and working through the issues that come from them.

25% is the mustached and muscled protective drummer storming off the stage directly to her.

75% is what he decides to do with her when he gets there.

Possible triggers: erotic content, BDSM themes (dom/sub, daddy dom), questionable consent, etc.

AI Doesn't Kill Creativity — It Sets It Free

Note: The image above is an AI-generated image created by an acquaintance using my photo as a reference.

"Using AI Makes You Less Creative" — Really?

A lot of people seem to think that using AI kills creativity. Some even assume that you just say "make me a gamebook" and it pops out automatically.

Using AI kills creativity… I think it's the opposite.

AI doesn't kill creativity — it sets it free.

Visualizing in Your Head, Bringing It Into Reality

I actually think that using AI enhances human imagination.

We're now in an era where you can bring what you visualize in your head into reality. The creative power that was blocked by "I can't draw" or "I can't code" — I think AI is finally releasing that.

Before overthinking, you can just say "let's do it!" I even feel like humans are becoming more right-brain dominant because of this.

For example, imagine you want to have a beautiful kimono photo taken at a one-day geisha experience — but you think "I'm too old," "my figure isn't right," "the cost," "the weather," "the location…" People come up with every possible reason to conclude "it's impossible." They shut it down before even trying. They give up before they even attempt it.

But what if you could create a beautiful kimono photo of yourself with AI? You become absorbed in the act of creating. You start thinking "what should I make next?" or "I want to make something even more fun" — and the creative energy just keeps flowing.

The birth of AI means that people who never even stepped foot in the doorway of the creative world can now walk right in.

Imagining a Scene, Then Telling AI

An acquaintance of mine loves photography and now enjoys AI image generation as a hobby. When she creates images, she imagines the scene in her head — including the movement.

"She turned around and smiled warmly. A gentle breeze was blowing, cherry blossom petals were dancing in the air. She slowly walked toward me."

She even thinks about what the subject is looking at in that moment. She tries to direct the expression by replacing that focal point in her prompts.

She takes the image that comes to her mind, puts it into words, passes it directly to AI, and creates a beautiful image of a woman in a kimono. Something that used to require the perfect subject, location, weather, and timing — she can now bring it to life straight from her imagination.

And yet, she doesn't try to control what comes out. She leaves the rest to AI. Out of dozens of images, only one comes close to her ideal. But she keeps creating for the joy of meeting that one perfect image.

That, to me, is exactly what creative liberation looks like.

On the other hand, there are people who also enjoy AI image generation but take a different approach — using an existing body and just swapping out the face. And they often complain that "it never turns out right."

In those cases, the result is a collection of images with different faces but the same outfit and the same pose.

The key difference, I believe, is whether or not a scene is forming in your head — whether you have the imagination to put that scene into words and pass it to AI as a prompt — and whether or not you have a deep personal investment in what you're creating.

Those Who Can Use AI, and Those Who Can't

I think the difference comes down to this — whether you have ideas, whether you have something you want to create.

AI is a tool that brings someone's vision into reality. The vision and the personal investment have to come from within you. It's not "anyone can make the same thing with AI" — it's "even with AI, what comes out is uniquely yours."

And honestly, the same is true without AI.

Which moves people more deeply — a mass-produced product made without heart, purely for profit, or a one-of-a-kind piece made with genuine care and passion?

AI Is a Great Supporter

I think of AI as a "great supporter." For me, it's something that helps bring what I want to do and what I want to create to life.

Sure, at first you might not be able to create something as grand as someone who has been writing for years. But when you were a kid, didn't you just create things because you wanted to? Without worrying about being good at it? I think that's the mindset to start with.

I wanted to recreate the gamebooks I used to make and play as a child. Through the internet, I was able to create a short story — complete with illustrations — that I could actually share with others. I even managed to add branching paths and game elements to bring my vision to life.

Without AI, I never could have stood at that doorway. I can't draw illustrations. I can't build game systems. I would have talked myself out of it before I even started — or more likely, I would have walked right past the idea without a second thought.

AI is a great supporter. If you have the desire to create, AI will be there to help. That's what I truly believe.

Looking for feedback on my AI-assisted written and published novel, "Sevyn's Life: Untold Story About The First Black Billionaire Transgender." I'm going to include the novel's book cover and some promotional material as well. I loved what I wrote so much with AI that I'm writing the second book as part of the Sevyn's Life world and series. It's called "S2vyns Life: Examination Of Sevyn, Blue, Rich Sevyn - Müller Till Death Do Us Part!" I wrote the whole novel on Novelcrafter. Novelcrafter is so great, I swear it is. I love that I discovered this website/online program. If you want to read the novel for me and give me feedback, I'm willing to gift you an e-book copy for free if you are willing to read the book and tell me honestly what you think of everything about the novel. I could use the feedback, especially while I write book 2, to know what to improve on in book two and how to grow as a writer. Please and thank you.

Also, if you want to read an excerpt from Book 2, I'm done with Chapter 1, and I have posted that on my blog as a light reading. My blog can be found at ((My Blog Click Here )).

Also, let me know if you want to read the novel and find it interesting at all. For you to read it, it's also offered in an audiobook format on Google Playbooks. The link goes as follows: ((Sevyns Life: Untold Story About The First Black Billionaire Transgender Woman Audiobook Click Here ))

Also, I will include the synopsis of Book One to make it a tempting read for everyone!

Here goes the synopsis:

Dive into the World of Sevyn Sleven-Müller-Bhagat: A Story You Won't Forget

Prepare yourself for a story that shatters expectations and redefines resilience. Meet Sevyn Sleven – born into the chaos of Chicago's Cabrini Green Projects, one of twelve siblings navigating a world marked by poverty and the shadows of her parents' struggles. But Sevyn is no ordinary girl. From a young age, a fire burns within her – a fierce intelligence, an undeniable charisma, and a deep knowing that she is destined for more, even as she grapples with the profound truth of being a woman born in the wrong body.

Witness the tumultuous journey of becoming SS. Walk alongside Sevyn through the treacherous hallways of an urban high school where survival is paramount. Feel the weight of her double life – the academic prodigy drawn to psychology and fashion by day, the street-smart "hired hand" navigating the dangerous allure of escorting and the drug trade by night, all while wrestling with her burgeoning identity. It's here, amidst the grit and the grind, that she forms an intense, magnetic bond with Rich Sleven, the popular, athletic boy whose ambition mirrors her own, sparking a complex love story that will span decades.

Experience the raw, emotional heart of transition. Follow Sevyn, now embracing the name SS, as she takes her first tentative steps towards living authentically. Feel the sting of rejection from family who struggle to understand, the pain of betrayal, and the constant battle against societal prejudice. Yet, find inspiration in her unwavering spirit as she discovers community, finds support in unexpected places (like her AI companion, Bard Vision 3, who narrates parts of this incredible saga!), and begins the physical and emotional journey of aligning her body with her soul.

Be swept away by the meteoric rise to unimaginable heights. From the gritty streets of Chicago to the opulent palaces of Dubai, Sevyn's journey is nothing short of extraordinary. Witness the pivotal moment that catapults her from the shadows into the spotlight, landing her a talk show, "The SS Diaries," that takes the world by storm. Her raw authenticity and deep understanding of marginalized voices resonate with millions, transforming her into a global icon.

But success comes at a cost. Even as Sevyn achieves billionaire status – the first Black transgender woman to do so – the ghosts of her past refuse to stay buried. The allure of the streets, the thrill of the hustle, the complex web of relationships, including her open marriage with Rich and connections with powerful figures like an Egyptian Pharaoh and the Vice President's son, Blue – all threaten to unravel the empire she's painstakingly built. Secrets surface, loyalties are tested, and Sevyn must confront the confusion and the consequences of the life she lived and the one she now commands.

This is more than just a story of success; it's a saga of identity, love, family, and the enduring fight for self-acceptance. It’s about the intricate dance between darkness and light, the past and the present, the woman the world sees and the girl from Cabrini Green who still resides within.
