Have you ever been so invested in a story you cried? (twist) (rant)

[Blingbee]

I remember misting up a little when Dumbledore died in the 5th/6th? Harry Potter book

 

[Arkus86]

Yes. Specifically I remember the endings of two anime movies that got to me, but I know there were more stories that did, both written and on screen.

 

[Kara_dija]

I just read a manwha that halfway had me lay down, stare up the ceiling and couldn't stop tears from falling with how overwhelmed I was. I agree it was quite dramatic. I don't cry easily and only few times do stories push me to tears, sometimes it's not about how compelling the the plot is but something very simple. However this was truly the first time I cried bcs of how.... SHIT THE STORY WENT TOO. (Upcoming crash out).

UGHHHH. I HAVE NEVER REGRETTED PROCRASTINATING THIS MUCH.

Now it's quite easy drooping a shitty story when you can't do it anymore but imagine if it was so good from the start, you're wholly invested and beaming with joy with every page and then boom! Author turns everything into a shitshow and you're screaming 'NO. NO. OH GOSH, FUCK NO. AUTHOR PLEASE—' gritting your teeth to bulldoze through the whole thing only for it to truly be PEAK... SHIT.

Can I really not have a memory wipe?

Now yes i might be acting a bit over dramatic but you were warned that this is a rant. And honestly I'm sure some people wouldn't mind were the story lead to, I did see people praising it on reddit as 'psychological' and 'deep' or whatever. But to me, author cooked something delicious in the beginning and then burnt down the whole fucking kitchen ?.

Anyway for anyone more curious about the extent of my rage, here's my review written out of spite. I tried to be as amicable as I can especially to the author as I am one myself. There are spoilers btw and the story's name is 'I tamed my ex husband's mad dog'

Have you ever been so invested in something you cried?



Yes. I cried bcs of HOW SHIT THIS STORY WENT TO! WTF AUTHOR CAN'T EVEN HIDE THAT NOW THEY'RE JUST THROWING USELESS PLOTS AND HOPES IT STICKS.



<spoiler>Firstly the revenge on the crown prince was soooo fucking unsatisfactory, bcs wtf do you mean he died peacefully from being poisoned and the only thing we got was the corpse?! Who gives a shit! The empress and crown princess suffered even more than bro, like wtf was author thinking with this shitty resolution?! Why did crown princess suffer more??? No reasonably it doesn't make any effing sense, the crown prince was the culprit of this shit show. Gosh I'm so pissed I can't even curtail my language</spoiler>



<spoiler>And then the whole 'why didn't you tell me about deitrich plot' came up and it became so fucking obvious author either stopped giving a shit halfway or wrote the rest of the story with half a brain bcs what?! The drama, the whole nonsense that happened was so painful I stopped halfway and cried. It had so much potential and I was really really rooting for them only for the author TO FUCK EVERYTHING UP! UGHHH THIS IS SO MADDENING</spoiler>



<spoiler> Story should have ended after that 'bring my son back' BS argument that basically solidified that my favorite couple was gone and blown to ashes. I wouldn't even mind a tragedy where they separated forever but no. Let's keep dragging to steaming pile of shit plot for no reason except to pull off the 'lovers reunite plot'. FL character went shit. ML was just... I couldn't even care about him anymore bcs FL became so fucking frustrating! Something that'd have been resolved so easily if she had simply stop acting like a brainless soap opera character! Damn, even soap operas don't get this stupidly dramatic



<spoiler> She knew ML was messed up. She understood that this was a heavily traumatized man who's probably screwed up every witch way, she knew just how much he loved her and despite not being obliged to accept his love the least she could fucking do after all the things he'd done for her was to reconcile with him and leave if she wanted to. Instead she just kept hurting both of them and their kid for no fucking reason but—drama</spoiler>



<spoiler> She became a fucking idiot. ML well at least he was consistent with being a bit off up there. And the whole plot became a glorified version of 'hey author maybe you should have let this stay in your head for fucking ever'. A fucking glorified mess </spoiler>



In conclusion fuck the story, fuck me for procrastinating on my studies to read this BS when I had better options (who knew it'd turn out so stupid). And author respectfully, never cook AGAIN.

Well that's the end of my mania episode. Sorry for the bother but I just had to let it out so the increasing negativity that pile up will float away naturally. I'm going to go wash my memory with bleach now. Bye.

You should ask me when i HAVEN'T. Because boy, I tear up quicker than a toddler who doesn't get candy. The one manhwa(that I remember on the top of my head) that had me devastated was "Season of Blossoms". And the novel "You've reached Sam" and a few from my native language

End of the 6th and a big part of why they're on the run in 7 IIRC.

 

[DonHon]

Yep, the most recent one was from infinite mage losing someone is a weak point for me. Another is lookism because of how shit the story has become

Yes I cry often when I am immersed in a story. I cried reading/watching each SciADV VN, I cried multiple times in every, except the first, Higurashi chapter. I cried quite abit yesterday when reading/watching Umineko. I cry a lot when I am invested in a story and it feels right.

 

[Shoemilk]

I wrote a short story for a contest and made myself cry three times while writing it (it was about dealing with the loss of a beloved parent)

 

[Our_Lady_in_Twilight]

I've made myself cry a couple of times while writing. I suppose the ultimate ideal is to become so effective at conveying that emotion through our writing that we can make our readers cry as well.

Also the death of Toad in 'The Animals of Farthing Wood', my god that was horrible!
