How can the ending ruin the story?

The ending can ruin a novel when it goes against the established tone and themes of the book. Let's say a novel has been a heart - warming story about friendship and then suddenly has a tragic ending that doesn't fit with the positive message throughout. It disrupts the emotional journey the reader has been on.

Sure, it's possible. If the ending is confusing, unsatisfying, or doesn't make sense, it can completely change how we view the entire story. A great build-up followed by a weak ending can be a huge letdown.

Not necessarily. It depends on how the ending ties into the overall narrative and character development.

Unrealistic personalities can make the story feel forced. For example, if a character is suddenly extremely brave without any prior indication of such a trait, it breaks the believability. Readers can't connect with characters who act out of the blue in ways that don't seem human. It also messes up the story's flow and development as the actions and decisions of these characters seem contrived, rather than a natural part of the narrative.

The truth might not fit the narrative or the expectations we have for the story. It could disrupt the flow or change our perception of the characters and events in a way that spoils the enjoyment.

Well, a book might ruin a novel if the binding is so poor that pages fall out constantly while you're reading. It breaks your concentration and makes it difficult to fully engage with the story. Also, if the cover design gives away major plot points or misrepresents the genre of the novel, it can ruin the reading experience.

Poor character development can really ruin a novel. If the characters are one-dimensional or their actions don't make sense, it can turn readers off. Also, inconsistent writing style or grammar mistakes can detract from the reading experience.

One way could be by introducing illogical plot twists that don't make sense. This can confuse and disappoint the audience.

If Becca cheats in 'The Boys', it ruins the story because it undermines the relationships that are central to the plot. Her relationship with other characters, especially those related to her main storyline, would be severely affected. It would introduce a sense of chaos and distrust that might not fit well with the overall tone and direction of the story that has been set up so far.

Well, New Light simplified the story too much. It cut out a lot of the complex lore and character development that made the original story so engaging. It was like they were trying to make it more accessible but ended up losing the essence of what made the story great.
