I feel like almost every book I read lately no matter how long it is I end up completely losing steam for the last 15% or so, almost universally especially with newer books I really feel like it's the obsession with completeness like. so many books could be instantly improved by removing the last 10% to leave things more open and let the reader fill things in for themselves and finish your story on an emotionally high note rather than giving me like 40 pages of a completely different genre bc now this high fantasy collapses into a cutesy little slice of life thing while u tie up every possible loose end

#it's also the classic pitfall of. if u like ur characters too much #ur like. yay I finished the Stuff that has to happen now I can spend the last 3 chapters just playing with them like dolls #I get it but that is for you to upload as a fanfiction or something. let western authors do extras like in cnovels LOL #actually feel like the cnovels ive read had way better endings for this exact reason ive cracked it omg #ALSO actually the thing w newer novels is several of them seemed to just kind of press pause on the plot at tbis point #she who became the sun had like i guess loads of stuff still happening at the end #but there was this super weird fall in pacing that was just them hanging out and fistinf and nothing happening #and then it's like oh yeah. plot again #like fist her in ur war tent before u have to go out n fight in the morning that would be better why can't we integrate..
