Does the story end as expected?

Not really. The ending was quite a surprise and not at all what I had envisioned.

Yeah, it did. I think the author laid out the clues throughout the story that pointed to this conclusion. The character developments and plot progressions made it logical.

At the end of the story, there might be a resolution of the main conflict. If it's a mystery, the culprit could be revealed. In an adventure story, the hero might return home victorious but changed by their experiences. It really depends on the genre and the overall tone of the story.

Maybe there were unforeseen plot twists or changes in the author's vision. Sometimes external factors can also influence the ending.

Often, at the end of a flashback story, there is a return to the present time or the main narrative. It might bring a new understanding or perspective to the current situation. For example, in a story where a character has a flashback about a past relationship, at the end of the flashback, they could realize how that past experience has shaped their current attitude towards love.

In the world of stories, 'expected' typically implies what is foreseeable or what aligns with common patterns or tropes. Say a hero is facing a powerful villain, it's expected they'll find a way to overcome the challenge. It's all about what makes sense based on the story's setup and the way things usually go in similar tales.

At the 'end of story' in 'My Time at Portia', you might expect to look back on all the memories and experiences. You could have a final view of the town you've built up, the friends you've made, and the things you've accomplished. It's like taking a moment to appreciate the whole journey.

Expect heartbreak. Usually, at the end of such a story, the situation has deteriorated to a point where there's no easy fix. People are left with a feeling of emptiness.

Well, in the end of the Risen 3 story, the hero might have completed all the quests and side - quests that lead to the ultimate confrontation. This often includes resolving any lingering mysteries, uniting different factions perhaps, and restoring some sort of balance to the game's world. It's a culmination of all the adventures and growth the character has experienced throughout the game. For example, if there were certain magical artifacts that were being sought after during the game, at the end they would either be used for good or destroyed to prevent evil from using them.

At the end of the novel, there could be a resolution of the main conflict. For example, in a mystery novel, the mystery might be solved and the culprit revealed. Or in a love story, the couple might get together or part ways in a conclusive manner.
