    So I’m reading a good novel (suits my mood, adventure comedy romance, recommend btw, even in mtl Reign of the hunters) and then when there are like five chapters left to go (in mtl version) I suddenly stop and don’t want to read on. As if if I don’t read the finale then the story can be un-complete and stay “alive”.

    Ok logically I can guess the ending. But really if I do read it I’m sure it will be very sweet/funny/ cute etc to feel when reading. But I really don’t want to read these last 5 chapters.

    Do you also have that feeling sometimes?

    I get this all the time. When I dont want it to finish I just leave the last few unread.

    I did, I still haven't finished Emperor of Solo Play. I only have 10 chapters left, dunno what I'm thinking back then. I've been following its translations. And when suddenly I heard that it's about to finish, I just stopped reading at all.

    I dont but that just me. I can see the appeal of not wanting to finish a story but the ending of a story gives meaning and a chance to say good bye. As the saying goes " A funeral is not for the dead instead its for the living"
    An ending gives closure and I prefer vastly over those stories with never ending 99999999+ chapters.

    I've done this, with AWE, Soveriegn of Judgement and a few others, it's as if I'm scared of finding out what happens, maybe some day I'll go back but for now they remain pretty great unfinished novels in my mind.

    Yeah. I’ve done it several times. I just don’t want it to end. Those I have stop. I’d come back months even years later and finally finished. Some I have never finished and just forgot about. I don’t feel a lost, but at that moment and years later I’m still satisfied. Sometimes when I come back it’s because I remember how much I like the story. So I start from the beginning and forget to stop.
    So yes I know how you feel. I did it and still do. It’s just so good of a story you just don’t want it to end.

    Sometimes I do but usually I think if I can finish this novel I can start at other stories
