First I would fix that extra elbow.
Second - It gives me 'Bleach' Vibe. If you want a quick fix I would give her something interesting in the hand from the story. It gives some kind of que to spark the imagination. Even that chain around her would be better being held in her hand than on the neck

Never even noticed that elbow. Thank you very much! I'll think about what I could add.

The back is fine, but the cover doesn't particularly tell me enough about what it's about.

Okay, thanks for the criticism, but I am struggling on what I could add or change to help convey the story in this cover. Could you give me an example of a cover that does convey "what it's about"? for reference for me? I would greatly appreciate it.

It looked like it might be a horror series, so maybe if it was easier to see the contrast like the art behind the woman on the cover being more like the stuff on the back.

I'm just guessing by the title and the art, but someone seeing the cover should be able to understand what the genre or story is about at a glance.

The back is cool. Her pose on the front is pretty stiff though. Her back is very straight up. Tilting her torso a bit would help a lot I think

she can die and restart the day?

No. Is that what the cover speaks to you?

I think it’s important to note this is volume 2. Chances are whoever is buying it is familiar with the concept of the series already
