I don't really have a big thesis here. I also wish general fantasy readers would notice these books more, but I think there's a lot of factors at play besides just the cover illustrations. Could you bear to put these on the inside of the book though? I mean.

I do wonder if a change to the composition would make them feel more "fantasy novel in translation" and less "is this a Japanese Manga-Comic?" Thinking of covers like these that say "fantasy novel inspired by xianxia/wuxia" (2 of these are YA but you get the point).

Illustrated covers aren't inherently for younger audiences. There are some absolutely beautiful illustrated covers on adult fantasy titles. Like these.

Really enjoying @MarRogerson's VESPERTINE - this book is scratching a very particular SABRIEL/Lockwood & Co itch for spooky ghosts and sassy undead companions
