It's called an open-ended story. These types of stories leave the conclusion up to the reader's imagination.
The term for this is an unresolved story. Sometimes authors do this to spark discussions or to keep the story alive in the minds of the readers long after they finish reading.
Well, you could just leave it open-ended and let the readers' imaginations take over. Sometimes, that can be quite intriguing.
It could leave readers frustrated and feeling unsatisfied. Without a conclusion, they might be left imagining various possibilities and not have a definite resolution.
Another story is 'Hamlet'. Hamlet's quest for revenge leads to a series of sad events and a rather unhappy conclusion.
Feiwo Sicun's novels had sad endings, but she also had some novels with happy endings, such as " The Mist Locking Clear Autumn " and " Too Late to Say I Love You ".
The ending of a story is often called the 'conclusion' or 'finale'.
The ending of a story is often termed the 'closure'. It implies that all loose ends are tied up and the story comes to a definite stop. Another term could be the 'epilogue', which sometimes provides additional information after the main events of the story have concluded.
Well, another term could be 'the denouement'. It's that part of the story where all the loose ends are tied up, secrets are revealed, and the final outcome of the plot is shown. For example, in a detective story, the denouement would be when the detective finally reveals who the killer is and how the crime was committed.
Denouement. This is where the plot gets resolved after the climax. It shows how the characters' situations end up after all the conflicts and developments in the story. For example, in a detective story, the denouement is when the mystery is solved and the culprit is revealed.
The term 'unfinished story' might be used. It implies that the story was not completed or that there are still loose ends that haven't been tied up.
😋I recommend the following books to you: " The Richest Woman: The Evil Husband Is Alluring "," My Secret Love Succeeded After I Lost My Memory "," Reborn Business Big Boss ", and " Divorce!" The female supporting role in the book is no longer available. They were all comedic endings, so there was no sadness. I hope you like my recommendation.😗
