Inconsistent/ wrong number of books displayed after using `add` and `list` commands

[RyanLing169]

When adding a book with a scifi genre, it says book added, but there are 0 books on the shelf (which should be 1 as I have just added 1). Upon using the list command, it says that there is 1 book on the shelf (which is correct).

As a result, the first added book is not visible through the 'list' command.

To recreate:

• use add command as instructed with a scifi genre
• use list command as instructed

with further testing, there is a constant offset from the actual number of books when viewing the relevant scifi shelf.

This does not happen with other genres:

After extensive testing, our team is unable to reproduce this error, and more steps are required to reproduce this problem.

We conclude that this error might be because of the tester tampering with the storage file, and since this is a very rare case, we set this as severity.Low.

Items for the Tester to Verify

❓ Issue response

Team chose [response.CannotReproduce]

• I disagree

Reason for disagreement: When this issue was discovered, the storage file had not been tampered yet.

Upon completely refreshing the storage folder, the issue was reproduced exactly as above, with the SciFi genre as mentioned. The steps in the UG were followed exactly, with no special steps taken.

❓ Issue severity

Team chose [severity.Low]
Originally [severity.Medium]

• I disagree

Reason for disagreement: Seeing that this issue causes users to be unable to properly save their books in the SciFi section despite using the steps documented and with no obvious signs that this bug occured, I still feel that this bug is of a medium severity
