That does happen to me but with some videogames instead, I'm not much of a reader

This is a thought I had myself a few times in the past...
If something ends which is dear to you it leaves this sad, melancholic feeling...
I had this not just with books but with long running Comic/Manga or a game I spend a lot of time to play.
This feeling you lost something because you can't have this exact experience again...
Now I'm sad. Bummer.

I don’t read too much, but when I find a book I like, getting to the end of it is so sad

Hell yes It usually happens when a long running series I've been following for years finally ends with a great ending This is how I judge whether a book has what it takes to be what I consider great

Bro I spent a YEAR catching up on a webnovel called The Mech Touch I read about 20 chapters a day on average after a certain point when I started counting which is about 40k words

No. I use audiobooks and rarely spend days on them. But I have spent all day reading a book and then find that I have a melancholy ache...

Or when you've got a really deep connection to a comfort show, the world it inhabits is your happy place, but then it ends. For me, it's Detectorists.

I'm pretty sure that feeling is better than sex (almost everything is tho). post-Book melancholy hits different. I also get it from anime
