Answer 1

A reader may be dissatisfied with an ending **if the character changes dramatically in a short period of time due to an epiphany.** This can feel unearned or unrealistic, leading to a lack of satisfaction with the resolution of the story. Readers often prefer character development to be gradual and believable, rather than abrupt transformations that may not align with the character's established traits and experiences.
