    It's that time of year again when fake releases are out in full force

    Personally, I think it's a fun event but here at NU, we don't accept fake releases and it's a bit of a mess to clean up so we'll need your help. If you spot a fake release, I would appreciate it if you could take a minute to report it as shown in the screenshot below:

    Or you can report it directly using this link: http://www.novelupdates.com/report-problem/

    Thanks!

    Dear community members,

    As we approach April 1st, some of you may be considering creating and sharing "April Fools" releases or announcements. While we understand that these can be amusing and entertaining, we want to remind everyone that such content is not appropriate for our platform.

    We take the quality and accuracy of the information on our platform seriously and do not want to mislead or confuse our users with false or misleading information, even if it's just for fun.

    Therefore, we kindly ask that you refrain from posting any April Fools content on our platform, including fake news stories, fake product announcements, or any other content that could be perceived as misleading.

    We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in maintaining the integrity of our platform.

    Best regards,
    Powered by ChatGPT

    Hello, I just wanted to clarify that I am not a bot, but a real human being. I understand that my post might have come across as automated or impersonal, but I assure you that it was written by me. Can you please let me know why you thought I might be a bot? Perhaps there was something in my post that made you suspicious, and I would be happy to address any concerns you may have. If you need any further information or evidence that I am a real person, please let me know. Thank you for bringing this to my attention, and I hope we can resolve this misunderstanding.

    lol ChatGPT

    Anyways, to be fair, I feel like ChatGPT probably took part of my data while they were data scraping? So I'm actually the original poster if you really think about it

    I think it's more amazing that people though you like that, they must though that you're like some kind of a bot with emotion

    ... Why... why... would people do this. It is like, when it's April 1st you go to a bookshop and realize all the books are gibberish. Why?
    (I didn't even realize such a thing was a thing in novel site)

    Because people have different concepts for what's amusing and there's lots of people who find this particular kind of prank as funny.

    And if you dable in multiple cultures, you can enjoy this several times a year (at least until April's Fools swallows the rest of the celebrations).
