A (suspenseful story that has you hooked from start to finish) or (one that leaves you in tears)?

Genuinely curious which do you prefer and why?

Option 1 is a brilliantly written thriller: It keeps you on the edge of your seat. Every detail connects to the next carrying a steady and sure progression of events, maintaining that momentum and blowing your mind by the end, basically what people will call a masterpiece and have endless discussions over it for years to come.

Option 2 is the emotional roller coaster: It takes you through this journey of pain, hope and healing and it knows how to pull just the right strings to completely break you in the process that by the end of it you are desperate for a happy ending, in other words an unforgettable experience people will remember for the longest time.


To me I'm always looking for those genius thrillers, they make me soooo immersed, actively thinking and digging deep, trying to read in-between the lines.. Like whenever a character is in a critical situation my brain is trying to paint all the possible scenarios to save that character.
Having said that I'm a very emotional person I will more likely than not cry like a baby watching dramas.

Definitely the emotional one. Im a really big crybaby and I love to torture myself with sad stories I mean both options are great and I love a well thought out thriller, but theres just something about a good emotional story that can throw you into a bout of depression

Like, you gush about how suspenseful and adrenaline inducing a story was for like a week after seeing it, but a well written, depression-inducing story will leave you emotionally scarred and changed for life. Source: i hate myself

As a dead inside dense person I'll go with thriller. There aren't many things that can make me feel strong emotions, so at least there will be an interesting story to keep me from watching characters, struggling with emotional drama I can't understand
