Bad ending or good ending, which one do you prefer?

Honestly, I like more bad endings than good ones. Obviously a happy ending is always well appreciated but I enjoy seeing one ot the LIs completely destroyed because the death of the heroines or lost in craziness, or crying 👀✨️.

For me, bad endings tend to be "cooler" because they're usually different, since the expectation for good endings is always the characters living happily ever after. Like, you kind of know what's coming for a good ending! So, bad endings are usually more surprising.

I don't like bad endings, and I really don't like the trend in media (not in otome in particular, an overall trend in eastern and western media imo) in the last decades to give sad/bad endings because it's more ~realistic~ and ~mature~. It just feels like a bad writer's way out, when they write themselves into a corner and they can't think of a good way to give a happy ending to their characters/a satisfying/cathartic way to finish their story.

(This is just my opinion, everyone should write and read whatever endings they enjoy (y)).
 
Depends on the story.
I love good endings but if it's a depressing game then a bad ending seems more plausible than a good one.
 
I want to say its obviously good endings, but something about tragedy endings, especially if they're well-written, really tugs at my heart... I'm looking at you Piofiore

I'm a huge fan of angst, so bad endings are always welcomed!! But I also want the characters to be happy after so much suffering 😭, so I usually leave the good endings for the end of the route

I like happy endings, but I like bad endings too. Whether I end up liking a bad ending depends a lot on how it's written and what kind of bad ending it is. If it's done well, there are actually many times when I end up liking the bad ending more.
 
I like the open ending. Although the ending was tragic, the post-credits scene hinted that they didn't die, and that their feelings for each other were genuine.
 
I like happy endings. Bad endings just make me feel down. But I like stories where it's clear from the beginning that they are heading toward a bad ending, and the process is carefully depicted.
 
I like good endings. As for bad endings, I actually like them too, but it depends on the writer's approach to conveying/writing the story from the beginning to the bad end
