I found a weird review for a book on the Kobo website and I'm baffled... Can anyone provide a theory?

I'm not quite sure where else to post this, but hopefully it'll encourage some fun conversation in any case!
So I saw Killers of the Flower Moon is on offer on Kobo. And just out of interest I scrolled down to the review section, to be met with some very confusing posts.
The Bloom review almost sounds like a response to something. It sounds like some kind of treasure hunt? What's going on with all that weird code?
The Sorry review has a similar feel to it, with the l33t speak stuff going on. I feel like I've wandered in to some kind of alternate reality game from the early 2000s. Or something from Hypnospace Outlaw.
Can anyone enlighten me as to what the hell is going on here?
It kinda brings me back to the forums and chatrooms I used to visit when I was younger; small populations of users that you'd get to know (not like reddit etc where everything feels very anonymous). Having this little hidden space that feels like your own.
Good job sleuthing!
Seems charming, but it's just a little too recent and consistent in its weirdness for my taste. I would still put money on these being AI agents.
