Honestly? I think the art style is a misstep as well.
While Dimgrim: Lords of Edgenight has proven there is a rather large audience for propped up, style over substance schlock in the osr scene, even that hammered heavy on a specific art style.

He should've kept and iterated on the art from ACKS 1, leaning into the black and white, thick linework.
The book could've been loaded with it for a fraction the cost of coloured artwork.
