My book is stolen.
I was googling my book by its name, ‘Mafia protagonist is interested in me' and I sometimes do this to check if my work is stolen or not. I was shocked and devastated to find that for the first time other than on wattpad, I found my book with the same name selling around $70 on the other sites; Avid Bookshop, Barnes and nobles, thriftbooks, and OrellFussli ( this site in German language). Mafia Protagonist is Interested in Me by Hansel Logan (thief of my book).
Just by looking at the blurb it was clear that it was Al generated using my book’s blurb . . .and I had no doubt that the whole book would be changed with the use of Al on my book and published, so I couldn’t tell that my book was stolen.
I started writing my book on wattpad in the beginning of 2022 and finished around August 2023. I had worked my sweat and blood on this book that every word of my book is etched in my brain and I can tell just by the blurb that this is a stolen book by Hansel Logan. who had posted this book in the beginning of this November. I don’t know why they wanted to be writers when they cannot even write themselves, and use Al on others words, and think they wouldn't get caught as if the law doesn’t exist in the world.
I had filed a DMCA takedown note on the sites, I won’t let it slide easily until I have this stolen book taken down, that had been infringement with Al.
Still, it’s devastating that someone could steal so easily while I have been working for hours, nearly for a year on this book, so it can get published on amazon kindle. I am not sure if after this I would want to write on wattpad, when not only this book, but my other book ‘I became an omega wife of the protagonist’s big brother’ is also other mirror sites, and this isn’t the first time, I had seen my book on the mirror sites.
And that’s why I warn the readers to be aware of these fake sites, and read only on the wattpad.
