How Dare You?!

The concept of this novel is transmigrating into a transmigration novel, so I made a triple-layer cutout cover. The outermost cover is the “original” novel, followed by the in-universe transmigration novel, and finally the actual novel, where instead of a proper cover design it gets a scrawled sharpie title on note paper.

My laser printer can’t print to the edges of the pages, so for the floral background, I printed only the border on my inkjet printer, and then printed the text of those specific pages afterwards.

I included a typographical easter egg! I looked hard for a floral dingbat font that would make a decent scene divider if I wrote "SOS" in flowers, and eventually I found one. (A character writing SOS in flowers, in hope of identifying other transmigrators, is a plot point in the novel).

I was going to put more colors in the endbands and fewer in the splatter-painted edges, but it turns out if you only use brown paint for splattered edges … even if it is a very nice brown in other contexts … it looks like the book is moldy. So I added some blue too and at that point I thought a multicolored endband would be too much.

My first copy of this book was made for an exchange, but I wanted to make a copy for myself too. Unfortunately I messed up some of the materials, so I ended up making it in a different color scheme than the first copy.
