Opinions on “timeskip endings”?

Good evening everybody! This is Aifos coming to you alive from a little town in the middle of nowhere called Bismuth! I would say it’s lovely, but frankly it’s something of a wreck! But anyway, I’ve got a question for you! It can be from books, movies, games, whatever, but what is your opinion on timeskip endings? A timeskip ending, for those unaware, is when the final chapter/epilogue/etc. jumps a significant amount of time into the future—for example, let’s say a year—after the conflict has been resolved, showing how things have gone since then and whatnot. Be as in depth as you can please; what do you like/dislike about them? If your opinion on them differs between different mediums, please elaborate. So on, so forth. [b][u]Tl;dr? Here’s my point![/u][/b] What do you think of timeskip endings in books and whatnot? If you don’t know what that is, please read above. Thank you for your input in advance! Jambuhbye!

  • From the books I have read, when the time jump shows us how the actions have impacted the future I like it. When the time jump just gives a more or less happy ending for the prominent characters I feel that it is less impactful and distracting from the ending of the book.
