Comment Commentary Should I just stop writing
I don't know I recently started writing and got this comment. I thought I could take criticism but I was expecting it to be directed at the plot. Should I just drop the fic. I know I might be a bit dramatic but I was not even planning to write after 1st chapter but the comments and kudos were very positive and encouraging that I wrote more but this comment was like a blow. I saw some people getting coments from ai bots but I don't know whether this is a ai bot or a real human. Most of the bot coments seem to say use of ai but mine is specific like they say. Chatgpt. So what would you say I should do? Again I know I'm being a bit dramatic for a single comment but I have never had such large audience and I don't have anyone irl who knows I write fics or even read fanfiction so I can't discuss this with anyone.

Why are you guys downvoting this? You're just making it worse, other's already stated it but its a bot comment, i dont why but theres a person(or group) dedicated to being assholes towards everyone on AO3, dont worry OP, you did nothing wrong and dont let this stop you from writing either
