    so as tittle says did you guys ever experience this kind of feeling ?
    as for me since mainly read happy go lucky & nearly avoid every kind tragedy novel this kind of feeling rarely came even when some character die kinda feel "oh well she/he died" while feeling little bad (ex.
    atlas from shield hero
    ) but sometime ago when finished reading DAL both Mayuri SS (short & side) & CD drama i can only say "dammit, why Tachibana-sensei ? " well at last you need to watch DAL movie first thought to understand why

    All the time, it really depends on the novel as well.
    If a good novel ends on a good end then you feel bitter because it's over.
    If a good novel ends on a bad ending (ie something not satisfying) than you feel bitter because it could have been better.

    pretty much only NTR gives me this feeling. Which is how I ended up here from western fiction in the first place( some form of NTR is basically a staple.)

    I was kinda sad after reading All You Need is Kill... The ship was too young, man.

    The ending also kinda sucked.

    I don't understand. Are you saying that western fiction has NTR as a staple? What? That's how I am interpreting what you say right here.

    Just yesterday I finished reading a tragedy, not knowing it was tagged as tragedy and unrequited love until the last few chapters when I realized something was not going right... and the ending was so UGH! It just left that bad feeling in my whole body, like the story did not really end, and I was left hanging with this... thread of an ending ;A; (The Blind Concubine was the story, BL but at the same time it is not...)

    I feel it when Jiraiya (naruto) and Ace (One Piece) has passed away. The feelings by watching anime can't be avoided :cry:

    yeah, its pretty common. Its not always heavy or fetishized but if your reading western novels you can expect the main chick(even when the main character is male) is going to be fucking more than one dude or in the case of the warded man as an example(which is otherwise fantastic) the chick
    literally goes from virigin to NTRing a guy

    Cheating on him? Or leaving him prior and then screwing some other guy? If your talking about the latter that is not NTR.

    Common..? I think that heavily depends on what kind of books you're reading, and @anhrefn would like me to remind you that a gal (or guy, for that matter) having sex with multiple different people does not constitute NTR.

    I kinda like bittersweet feels like someone important (i.e a parental figure) for the mc but not so important for the plot dying . Tho if it's a about my favorite ship sinking or the mc getting NTRed ,then it leaves butthurt not with a bittersweet feeling ,i mean there's no sweet part there XD.

    Bleach. Rushed ending, and from what I've read of the spoilers of the last chapter I'm not gonna like it. Also Beelzebub. Oh and Mahou Sensei Negima!

    When there is no update on novels I'm reading because if they don't I'm gonna hunt them down and cry to myself and ask why do I even existed?

    Recently I got spoiled for a story and this is the feeling I get when I read it. Honestly I wish I had avoided the spoiler since I really liked the story. I'm just hoping the characters who died come back to life somewhere down the line.
