Hi! My name is Leonie and I am a 23 year old girl who loves talking about books! From YA to non-fiction to classics, I read it all (although fantasy will always be my fave). I live in the Netherlands and go to university, but make booktube videos in my spare time :)

@mayakane9978 3 жыл бұрын
I'm guessing its because authors get to be a bit more lazy with series you'll have a guarantee that at least some people will follow the story all the way through while in standalones they have to introduce new characters and new plots and new places every single time. And its kinda hit or miss with the audience, people that read one book might not read another. There are some series that work really well as a series but usually this is why I think.

@@mayakane9978Another thing to consider is that publishers love when something is a series. They’re much more likely to give a low to mid-tier author a chance in a new IP if it’s at least a trilogy. So many books are made into series it’s almost weirder to them if you only have a standalone. Also, I wouldn’t say it’s a matter of laziness, at least, not for everyone. If you create a cool world with interesting characters, it’s understandable you would want to write more. I wrote a series of three books in a series and ended it on what I think is a high note. The temptation to write more is always there because I enjoy that world. Sometimes writing a series does come from a creative place and not a business one. Just my thoughts on the matter.

The problem is, that you always start a book when it is released, and then you wait until the sequel is out, but by then you have forgotten the whole story and you have to reread the first book. But rereading is not as much fun as reading a new book, and then you have priorities. Honestly, i hate that book series do not yet have summaries at the start, this would make reading series so much eaiser

I don’t necessarily have a problem finishing series, I’m just in the middle of so many. I get excited about new releases so I’ll read the first book and then have to wait for the sequels..and sometimes I’ll just wait until the series is finished before I continue. I make a list every year of about 10 series I want to finish that I only have a book or two left in, and this helps me. I also have a notion page with the series I’m in the middle of and a spreadsheet of things I’ve completed/abandoned.

It's not so much a thing in the first one then the second one is better in that sense but from the Prisoner of Azkaban and so on there is so much more information, interactions, action and backstories of characters explained so honestly I hope you consider it again cause you'll love it.

When a standalone gets a sequel I don’t even register that as a series. I just read Vicious, and don’t feel any immediate need to read Vengeful, mostly because I liked Vicious and I thought it stood really well on its own. (Ironically, I won’t read the sequel because I liked the original so much…) On the other hand I read Carry On in December and didn’t like it. At first I thought, “Oh, there’s a sequel, maybe that will tie up all these loose ends,” but then I realized that it was supposed to be a standalone, so it should have been good on its own. Also, a book in a series shouldn’t need the other ones to be good; every book should stand strong by itself. Honestly, reading is for fun. If it doesn’t bother you, you can start and finish as many series as you like. I read series out of order, sometimes. Go crazy!

sorry I know this is my second comment but here's the thing with Mistborn: In my opinion the books get increasingly better and the pay off in book 3 is the best one I have ever read (I rated them 3.5, 4.25, and 4.5 successively). That being said, they are not character driven almost at all. There are some great character moments, but they aren't the focus. The magic and the world is. Do you want a fantastic overarching story that will end in the most satisfying ending ever? Read it. Do you want really compelling characters that will carry the plot by making you laugh, cry and everything in between? Well, that requires more investment and if you didn't feel it, then just skip it.

I have read many Dutch series before that but honestly I don't remember a lot of that whole selection of books except for some of them. Okay, all the series that I have started in this regards are 34 in total. 16 of which I have completed. One I am literally reading the final book at the moment. I have finished 6 until the latest book in the series. I have started 4 and still need to continue reading those (1 of which I am still a bit iffy about), and 7 of which I am just not going to continue. So percentage wise I have nothing to complain about😝

I think you should definitely read the Dragon Republic. Yes, the political intrigue and war strategy are big parts of the story (which becomes super interesting), but I but it is also very character driven. The development of the characters is fascinating to me. Especially Rin, who becomes even more wicked and grows in many different ways as the story progresses and it’s super interesting to read about, since in fantasy we are used to a different type of protagonists. Of course there are morally grey characters in many fantasy novels nowadays, but the dragon republic just hit different. Also, there is a (KIND OF???) slowburn hate-to-love relationship which I love. It is not the main focus of the but I love how the relationship between these two characters develops. Also, be ready to suffer because this book means pain in general but IT HAD BEEN A WHILE SINCE A BOOK MADE ME FEEL SO MUCH so that is also why I love it so much. This was one of my fave books of 2020🥺 and my fave in the trilogy.

This is painfully relatable. I have like 15 parts (might be more, who knows) of series on my tbr for this year alone and one complete series. The only series one of a series I already started is a discworld novel, which is way too big to read in one go. Turns out 2/3 classics on my list are part of a series 😂 And it doesn't help that like 80% is fantasy and I'm not in the mood for fantasy rn. Which means I'm now reading a classic and a non-fiction. At least they're both easier to read than I expected. I high key need more cheerful books.

for me it's series >>>> standalones and i also read usually whole series right away (when i am enjoying it). i actually admire you for returning to these series, because i would be frustated because i wouldn't remember anything and i would probably dnf it haha (when i am not waiting for sequel tho sdjkfl)

Brandon Sanderson has written a lot of books and I know that some of them are not for everyone but if the issue is that you don’t want to commit to a trilogy like Mistborn I would highly recommend another one of his books that is considered to be a stand alone and that book is Warbreaker. You can see with that book if you like Brandon Sanderson’s style without having to commit to anything huge. It’s one of my absolute favorite books, so if you do someday decide to read I hope you enjoy it, but I know that his books are not for everyone, despite what some hardcore fans may think. Anyways I really enjoyed this video!

I'm quite sad that you abandon the A court of thorns and roses series! This is the only series (in my opinion) where part 2 is soo much better. Hope you will change your mind and try that again someday haha

I have three bookshelves on Storygraph about series: series I need to finish (currently 3 series), series to start (21 series woeps) and series I gave up on (20 series haha). I works like a charm and it is very satisfying to put them on a different shelf after finishing them all or not seeing the point anymore.

Try going through the Red Queen series. The first 2 books are intro's and the second isn't super fast paced, but the whole series is a really good when you read through it all.

Hah, I have between 10 and 15 unfinished series and thought that was a lot. Thanks for putting things in perspective. 😂 This was a really fun video! I don't know if you read Warbreaker yet, but that might be a better Brandon Sanderson to get into if you didn't really like The Final Empire.

This sounds like an excellent project for when I want to procrastinate doing work lol I've never counted the series I read like that but I also don't really care? I avoid reading series to begin with xD unless the whole series is out and I can read it all at once (there are exceptions ofc but that's my general rule). Last year I started reading romance and a lot of romance novels do come in loosely connected series that can often be read as standalones, so I just pick the ones that sound interesting/feature tropes I like.

For series I haven’t gone back to in a while but want to finish, I usually just look up summaries of the books I read to get myself back in that plot flow. Might work for the Lunar Chronicles since it’s pretty popular 🤷‍♂️
