Endings that should be avoided: >"It was all a dream" >Characters going back in time, change the cause and the event almost like "it never happened" >Everyone dies. >Running off to the sunset while problems are yet still unsolved and not concluded.

The ending to my story is quite literally “the good guys win and the bad guys lose.” Obviously there’s more to it than that. But the loose ends have been tied up beforehand, all that was left was the final battle and the culmination of the MC’s character development. Nothing more, nothing less. And also fuck anybody who tells you happy endings are cliche or cheating or boring. Mate I have the fluffiest most saccharine ending you don’t even know. My chars have been through hell and back, all other obstacles have been cleared, all that was needed was the big bad dying. Now they can go and live normal happy lives with their families and loved ones knowing they earned that shit. Your audience will appreciate a happy ending if your characters deserve it.

Nonsensical ending? For manga readers; don't waste your time with Tsubasa Chronicles. So infuriating. One of the manga writers even admitted she had no idea what the ending meant.
@kimifw58
If the protagonist is single, the story has to end with him hooking up with the lead female. It's the only possible way for there to be a happy ending. Saving the world is meaningless if you don't get the girl.

"What the hell, this clearly contradicts everything you ever..." "If you were a real fan, you would be aware of an interview the author did five years ago in alaska where he clearly stated this was the case. Also, in the seventh edition of the comic spin-off series, we see several events foreshadowing this exact twist, so don't even try."

Do writers really struggle with their endings? I'm more a "I know where everyone's coming from and I know how it ends, but how do I fill the in-between?" kind of guy.
@onelovelylilidiot4959
The best ending is when a surprise villain turns up half way in the last third with no foreshadowing or previous mentions whatsoever to deliver a last minute climax. No one could possibly expect it and therefore is the best kind of twist, because a twist shouldn’t be a journey for the reader to figure out alongside the characters, it should just be so unpredictable that no one could possibly imagine it

How to end a story: The protagonist married someone and had kids THE END.

The BEST ending possible: It turns out that the evil Dark Lord, the ones the heros of the story just stopped and planned on both destroying and conquering the world at the same time, was actually a minion of an even darker and lordier Dark Lord! It leaves room for a greater sequel on an even larger scale! Aka more $$$

I just want to take a moment to point out that most modern kids movies end with a dance party and once you notice that it will drive you mad because it always happens
