For me, I wish a novel has well-developed characters that I can relate to and care about. Also, a unique setting that adds depth and flavor to the story would be great.
Do you want the ending of Celestial Bane novels to be like that?
As a fan of web novels, I won't make any specific suggestions for the ending of the novel because every reader has their own preferences and ideas. But I can tell you some common endings for your reference.
Some novels had open-ended endings, meaning that the author did not give a clear answer for the readers to imagine and interpret. This kind of ending often aroused the interest and thoughts of the readers.
Some novels have tragic endings, where the protagonist experiences many setbacks and tribulations, but still cannot escape the fate of death or disability. This kind of ending often made people feel depressed and helpless.
Some novels had comedic endings, in which the protagonist successfully escaped the arrangement of fate through various means and obtained happiness and freedom. This kind of ending often made people feel happy and relaxed.
Whether it was an open-ended ending or a tragic ending, it was necessary to keep the plot compact and the theme profound, leaving enough space for the reader to imagine and think. Only then could the best effect be achieved.
They bring hope. For example, a terminally ill child who wishes to go to Disneyland gets to experience that magic. It gives them something to look forward to during their difficult times in the hospital.
Wish novels often show the power of hope and determination within the context of wishes. They can inspire readers by demonstrating that even in difficult situations, wishes can be a driving force. In 'A Wrinkle in Time', Meg's wish to find her father gives her the strength to face great challenges. These novels also allow readers to experience different worlds and possibilities, expanding their minds and inspiring them to believe that their wishes could also lead to extraordinary things.
Tagging someone in a story can be as simple as writing their name when you want to focus on them. Like, 'When Mary saw the cake, her eyes lit up.' That tags Mary and makes her stand out in the story.
