FAQ:
Q: I see many "First" and "Thanks for the chapter" comments, should I report them as spam?
A: These comments indicate how much the readers enjoy the story and how they feel pride in being the first to comment. It is a great compliment to the author, and while they might seem like spam, these comments are not against the rules as long as they aren't posted multiple times in the same chapter by the same user.
However, If you are the author of a fiction with these comments, you can freely delete them.
