Maybe I'm being paranoid but I think I may have had my first bot comment on AO3
It's a little too vague about the fanfic (Kylux if anyone likes that) and I apologise if I'm wrong but I'd be a little concerned about some people replying to similar comments and ending up being scammed. Just be careful!
I don't think you are wrong coz i got a very similar comment and I'm not just a sceptical author who believes their works are shitty (although I am telling you this one is an appallingly- stoped-midway-first-chapter and this only makes it more suspicious)
I checked their profile on ao3. This "registered user" only created their ao3 account two days before their comment. No bookmarks or works. They don't have any pseuds either. Idk all signs point to "this is definitely a bot" but then again have bots really progressed that much or am I just a sceptical author who can't take a complement after all. I just needed another set of eyes to witness this and tell me for sure to not bother replying and your post was it.
Plus they even have a pattern to their usernames and use more ore less the same adjectives or more like the exact same comment phrased differently.
