8. Lackluster ending

This is the worst. You know how you feel when you’re reading a great story or article and you’re really into it, but then the ending just sucks? I hate that. I still think these stories are worth reading because it’s all about the journey, not the destination. Having said that, lackluster endings are unsatisfying. When I come across them, I almost always get the feeling that the author was tired of the project, just wanted to finish it and move on, and resigned to a second-rate closing. Some people complain about endings where there are still unsolved mysteries or unanswered questions. That’s fine if there’s going to be a sequel! Don’t disappoint readers by giving them a lazy ending.
