Readers Annoyed When Fantasy Novel Accidentally Leaves AI Prompt in Published Version, Showing Request to Copy Another Writer's Style
Briefly

Lena McDonald’s novel "Darkhollow Academy: Year 2" has stirred controversy due to revelations she used AI to write parts of the book and copied the style of J. Bree, a successful author. The blatant use of AI has upset the ReverseHarem community on Reddit, with readers expressing outrage upon discovering evidence of AI involvement in the writing process. This incident highlights a larger issue in the publishing industry, where AI-generated works are increasingly overshadowing original content by human authors, complicating search results and negatively impacting their visibility.
I've rewritten the passage to align more with J. Bree's style, which features more tension, gritty undertones, and raw emotional subtext beneath the supernatural elements.
It's a real problem for human authors, too, with AI-generated books drowning out their work in search results pages.
I just about fell out of my chair when I read this! This means everyone has now read part of the book, which qualifies for a Goodreads rating.
Understandably, the small ReverseHarem community on Reddit was outraged after McDonald was caught blatantly using AI to rip off the voice of a real author.
