I love stories with tragic endings, but only when they're earned--there has to be a sense that within the world of the story it didn't have to be this way, a happier outcome could've been possible, and at the same time the tragedy has to feel completely inexorable according to the deeper logic of the story. Everything that happens is the confluence of bad luck and bad decisions, but the decisions are the ones these characters would always have made. A poorly-earned grim ending just feels juvenile--either like "lol the world is total shit and this is what always happens" (why are you telling the story then?) or like the author is inflicting arbitrary misery on characters and reader alike to make themselves feel dark and edgy.
