The reason I'm here is because of those damned TikToks with a jester and a princess. Also, mc name is Briar? Count me in.

Hi fellow werewolf lovers! I saw that new books were added to the quest 🐺♥️ Unfortunately I have some concerns regarding one of the books having a cover made by AI. I’m sorry about bringing up this topic but since PB is anti AI / prioritizes human creativity and a lot of people can care about this stuff I wanted to let you know! I had my concerns earlier regarding Bro and the Beast / The Wolf’s Mate series and I thought that maybe it isn’t worth mentioning (I just decided not to read it myself) but since a lot of people will be interested in reading this because of the quest I felt like as an artist I need to say something! 💔 There are a lot of books with beautiful covers in the quest made by talented artists and I felt like it’s unfair to them 🥺

Disclaimer: It’s my personal suspicion as an artist who sees a lot of AI works on daily basis but I can be wrong. Also, I don’t want to shame anyone who enjoyed this book, rather inform potential/future readers (if they care about stuff made by AI).

When I saw the first book’s cover it looked suspicious to me but I was ready to give it the benefit of the doubt. However, covers in later books in the series are more obvious.

What looks suspicious to me

• Bro and the Beast 2 - there is an arm protruding out of arm?? 🧐
• Bro and the Beast audiobook - it’s his right arm but looks like left hand upside down?
• Villain and the Geek - I think that the blazer’s lapels doesn’t match but for sure there is something wrong with the pocket (like it’s upside down maybe?)
• Villain and the Geek 2 - two right shoes and something weird like a spider web? (there isn’t any in the rest of the "artwork")

Another thing worth mentioning is that at the time of releasing those books AI manga filters were popular. If you click on one of the links below you can find photos of men that are really similar in style to the cover arts. 1 2

How the author reacted to the AI allegations

Under one of the posts on author’s ig (for book 7 I think) someone asked who does the covers because there’s no credit in the book, and the answer was: My partner, Wolf, does most of my covers, including this series! The glitch reverted everything to an older version, but the updated file has the cover credit!

According to my source (a friend 😆) in the previous books there were no credits for the cover artist too 🙈

Joel also added a reel with a speed painting of a wolf(?) by Wolf. It’s an amazing piece BUT it isn’t art from any of the covers. (I think? I didn’t see one with this art) Also, there’s a mention of Wolf’s account but he isn’t tagged (so it’d be harder to find him maybe?) I searched the account and there’s nothing there, only the description. Imo if you want to prove that’s not AI there should be at least one or two posts?

Once again, I can be wrong and if that’s the case I’m really sorry to the artist (people make mistakes in their art but those doesn’t look like human made mistakes 😬). I made such a long post about it because art is something I deeply care about and I wanted people to be well-informed before reading this series 🥹
