ITHome October 10 news: According to Sina News, recently a netizen claimed that while reading the physical print edition of the web novel《The Lonely Road to the End》, they found a sentence abruptly inserted into the main text: "Do you need me to fine-tune some of the wording so that the overall writing style better fits the suspenseful and supernatural atmosphere?" — a typical AI reply.
Later, netizens checked the corresponding online version of the web novel andfound that this sentence does not appear in the relevant location, so it is widely believed outside that this was an oversight on the publisher's part。
In response, Jiangsu Phoenix Literature and Art Publishing House stated: the manuscript passed through many hands during editing, proofreading and other stages,it is not the author's problem; the shipped books will be recalled and all destroyed, and a revised edition will be made。
