Happy vs. Bad Endings, which do you prefer to play first?

[summerkaraoke]

I was wondering if I'm the only one who goes for all the happy endings first, with the game guide in hand and very sure of the first route I'm going to play... Do you try to go for the happy ending right away, or do you like checking out the bad/tragic endings first?
I enjoy seeing how dark or dramatic bad endings can get, but I always end just needing the sweet resolution first. How about you? do you use a guide or go totally blind on your first route?

Absolutely bad endings!! Happy endings are good to enjoy, but bad endings? Give me chills Maybe it's just for me lol

When I was young, I preferred sad endings, so I only looked for that kind of thing and watched it, but after becoming an adult, I seem to be looking for happy endings no matter what. (I used a translator, so if anything feels off, sorry)

Sometimes there are otome games that force you to play their bad endings first to unlock the true or good ending. But I think I prefer playing the bad ending first, because bad endings always hurt and the only thing that can heal me is the good ending.

Well, if the good ending doesn't feel like one, I'm going to riot tho!

Personally, I prefer to make a relationship complete, so I give priority to a happy ending. However, there is no denying that in some cases, a bad ending can be very beautiful, so I cried in blx.

I usually follow guides and start with bad endings. It makes the most sense to me to start with them. You get to them much sooner and it also shows you the writer's train of thought better. If I want to fully "explore" the story, I treat it as a path. I do the wrong turn to explore the bad option and then I go back to the last relevant crossroads and follow the other. Then I get all the bad endings "on the way" to the happy ending, if the game mechanism allows it. The happy endings are the sweetest when I work my way from the bottom to the top.

Idk why, but I'll try to get the bad ending first Usually it somehow ends up being way more than I expected, and then I'll get the happy ending after lol.
