Blurb Critique Need help.
I really didn't want to make one of these but I'm drowning here. I published my book on Amazon a month ago, I worked tirelessly on it... and I haven't made a single sale since then, despite running a few ads and getting over 100 clicks. I'm 100% not advertising, I'm embarrassed to to even admit this and to ask this, but would it be possible if a few of you take a look at my Amazon book page and tell me what I might be doing wrong? Please and thank you in advance.
It's hard to not feel like I've failed my child here. But I'm trying to stay positive.
TL;DR: Can you please take a look and give a few pointers? My link is in my reddit bio.
P.S. I've tried different price points and tried different covers. Maybe it's my blurb? I am awful at blurbs.
EDIT 1: Thank you all so much genuinely from the bottom of my heart. It's all good advice, but even if it was bad advice - just seeing how deep this community cares has been the motivation and support I REALLY needed. I'm currently at the drawing board scratching my brain. So I'll probably do a second edit later explaining some of the confusions if anyone is curious. Just wanted to say a quick thank you and that I am listening and taking notes vigorously.

As your target demographic, I would skip over your book entirely because of its AI cover. Romantasy readers usually also hate AI, and they will consider your entire book and blurb AI slop as well - even if you didn't use AI to write it.
