Would you prefer an uplifting ending of a story/book or a heartbreaking ending?

I think many people have the same question.

Entirely depends on the book.

It’s rare that someone can get an uplifting ending to sound natural and not forced.

Personally, as a reader, I hate sad endings.

I don't mind tragedy, sadness, loss, etc, in the story but when I get to that last page, I want the characters I've become invested in to be in a good place.

Don't miss: What do you do when you can picture the ending of your book but not the beginning?

Let’s meet in the middle and do bittersweet.

I would prefer a suitable ending for the story and characters, not one catered to the audience based on expectations or formula.
