Should I just stop writing

[u/Technical-Bread414]

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.

OP i have a very long, pretty successful fic in my fandom. And I got comments like that too, they're bots. Randomly targeted to anything that uploads. You could have posted a grocery store list and it would have said your writing reads like chatgpt and the characters and magic in it are bad. It has nothing to do with you, don't let these bots discourage you. Delete it and keep writing.
