Discussion do u fantasize different endings for novels?

I will never finish a novel, so it always has the ending I want.

 

I always fantasized Sevens so much of what would have happened during its imperial days or the war era after the fall of the empire, which is why I'm trying to gather a lot of info about the European wars and Roman Empire, the Chinese Empire and the Ottoman Empire for imperial harem references.

 

All the time, not just endings either. Sometimes I'll daydream the story in a different direction.

 

LOL I do that a lot, if starting to get disappointing I give it my own ending and don’t read what author wrote

 

Yeah sometimes I wish the novel didn't end where it did.
Like if it ended at just the wedding, imagine what the couple would be like with a family.
Then again sometimes I wish a novel didn't end so >.<"

 

true, sometimes i just boil down alot of novels i read into references for my fantasies, and make mish mashed stories in my head that include x concept from this novel with y characters from another, its interesting.

 

they warned me satan would be tempting

 

I usually don't do that for actual endings, but it has happened quite often for me with stories that disappointed me midway through the story instead.
Though often it is more that I'm just using the story as a surrogate for trying out ideas for original stories.

 

I don't but sometimes when i binge read a novel then fall asleep i start dreaming about that novel reading them with new chapters lol.

 

Wow that’s happened to me, i once wasn’t sure if I read an update or dreamed it up during sleep

 

hmm not for me, if 'twas a bad ending I just kinda erased it from my memories

 

Sometimes, I do fantasize about different endings for some of the light novels I read. This applies to not just light novels though since I also do the same for some animes, mangas and even visual novels as well. Furthermore, I fantasize not only about different endings but also about what could possibly happen if the events occurred differently or if the characters chose to behave differently as well. This is especially so for series that either failed to live up to my expectations (specifically series which are horrible and received really low ratings from myself) and series that had unrealized potential (specifically series that are at least above average but could have been even better in my opinion).

 

Never. I don't get so attached to endings that I try to come up with an alternative. The only semi-exception are the books with such abysmal endings that they outright ruin the entire novel.

 

To be honest, I think that most people who read books which have horrendously abysmal endings would either try to imagine better endings for those books or wish that they had never read those books in the first place. I am one of those who try to imagine more ideal endings when I read such books but I have also seen other people who say that they would not have read certain books if they had known in advance that those books would end horribly.

 

Are there people who don't? And yeah, that's how fanfics came to be.

 

heck if it is "stealing" girls from yun che, I would not even classify it as ntr.

 

Yeah i also do that as soon as i don´t agree with an ending i wont spoil what it is but if you read "A Monster Who Levels Up" then you will know what i mean.

 

I have spent many nights lying awake, imagining different and better endings for stories I liked. I even do it when a character does something stupid and think: "well, what would I do?" . There are just so many times when I've been greatly disappointed by a story that I lose myself in thinking about it. When I was still in school I would just sleep in on the weekends, lying there thinking about the latest melancholic anime ending and whatnot.

Tried making my own stories to show them what's for, but I could never get past the premise. I'm, not a smart cookie.

 

Not just novels but manga and anime's too
For me I tend to imagine only small things like what if MC didn't kill that guy or if MC met that person earlier, small changes that drastically alter the universe later on
it's fun trying to imagine what the possibilities are
