What makes Simon Bates' sad stories so impactful?

The likely use of real - life experiences. When stories are based on real events or emotions, they tend to be more impactful.

They often deal with themes like loss, injustice, and human suffering. These are universal emotions that readers can easily relate to. Take stories of poverty - the struggles of real people trying to survive in difficult circumstances make us feel empathy.

The character development. In anime sad stories, we see the characters grow and change, often through difficult circumstances. When bad things happen to these well - developed characters, it hits us harder.

The emotional journey. These sad stories usually take the reader on an emotional roller - coaster. They start with a normal or happy situation, then gradually introduce the sad elements. By the end, the reader has been fully immersed in the sadness, and sometimes, it can even lead to self - reflection about their own lives and experiences.

The combination of sadness and scariness in these stories is impactful because it plays on multiple emotions at once. It can make the horror more profound as the sad elements add a sense of reality and relatability. For example, in a story where a character loses a loved one to a supernatural force, the sadness of the loss and the fear of the unknown create a powerful emotional cocktail.

The detailed emotions. Writers on Wattpad are good at portraying deep and complex emotions in their sad stories. They describe the pain, sadness, and despair so vividly that it makes the story impactful. For instance, when a character is going through a break - up, the writer might describe their every thought and feeling, making the reader feel as if they are in the same situation.

The sense of inevitability in the stories. In JRPGs like 'Xenogears', there are certain events that seem fated to happen, no matter what the characters do. This creates a feeling of helplessness that is very sad. The backstories of the characters also contribute. When we learn about the painful pasts of the characters in 'Persona 4', for example, it makes their present struggles and any sad outcomes more poignant. All these factors together make the sad stories in JRPGs have a strong impact on the players.

Well, for one thing, they often deal with universal themes like loss, love, and unfulfilled dreams. For example, in 'The Necklace' by Guy de Maupassant, the main character loses years of her life chasing after a replacement for a lost necklace, only to find out the original was a fake. It's a story about the futility of vanity and the cost of pride, which many people can relate to on some level.

The sense of loss. When we read about characters losing something important like a loved one, a dream, or a relationship, it hits us hard because we can relate to those things in our own lives.

Sad x reader stories are impactful because they tap into our emotions. We can put ourselves in the reader's place. For example, when a story is about a broken friendship in a sad x reader story, it makes us think of our own relationships and how fragile they can be.
