Is there a word for being sad about reaching the end of a book, movie, or series, before you even get there?
No. It when I write a story I always write the ending first.
There must be a Greek, Indian, Chinese or Japanese word for that
The Germans probably have one too
Yeah but überdasendeeinesbuchestraurigkeit is complicated much.
Wistfulness? That doesn’t quite capture it. You’ve broken my brain.
The Japanese have a term - Mono no aware
Dread? You’re ‘dreading’ the end of a book, etc?
If it exists it is definitely a German word.
Likely "Vorweh" in German
