Is there any anime, manga, novel where upon learning that it has been cancelled or abandoned broke your heart?

I was reading "The Fantastic Strange Story Of A Broke Mercenary" and got to about volume 2 before realising that it got cancelled at volume 15 because the author posted some racist tweets or something.

Great start, cool duo between the main cast, and indications of cool story and worldbuilding with a clear goal in mind. I immediately stopped reading like half way through the volume I was on and I was just like damn this sucks.

Good for you he's not dead. He can continue now because that novel is good enough and the world is as racist as it can get.

I usually write my own endings on those type of manga. After that I stretch plot from my ending to the author's work. A good exercise of literature.

This is being done to Berserk at the moment, seeing if fans would bait.

Smell is one of my favourite BL and I realised it was a oneshot so I naturally fixated overr te manga and couldn't stop thinking about it for a month
