Personally, even if endings where characters or everyone dies are pretty depressing... like in Nightshade or Hakuoki
I still can´t get over Mysir´s "happy ending" at Café Enchanté.
It wasn't just the big letdown or the lack of proper romance like in the other routes, but...
Kotone´s fate, for some reason, really disturbed me. Being unable ever to leave, touch someone, and even outlive all of her friends and boyfriend... I can´t think of a more miserable way to spend eternity. What if someone doesn´t return? Living with that uncertainty, if a friend had died or something had happened, without a way to do anything, really scares me. And even if most of her friends will live long... just like in Frieren, that long will eventually pass in a flash for her. And she will be all alone again.
Have you ever experienced a "happy ending" that left you feeling hollow and hopeless?
I have heard about another otome with happy endings that make you feel devastated, but I don't remember the title.
And as I´m a sucker for sappy happy endings or bittersweet endings... It would be nice to be warned of other stories that might leave a similar bad taste.
