Yea I learned my lesson from asoiaf, I’m fine waiting until a series is finished so I don’t end up waiting for the end of a story that won’t come
Now that I think about it an unfinished series was what killed my childhood interest in Star Wars. That and the whole legends/canon fiasco (young me was very invested in the Star Wars EU and was not happy about changes to canon lol)
Oh boy Legends. I wasn’t happy they ditched that canon either, but at the same time (and at the time) I felt the EU was suffering from the comic book problem of endlessly continuing the story with “the gang” without any real resolution. IMHO short stories like Rogue One or the EU’s Tales series are peak because they thrive in the world building without bogging themselves down with Canon.
I honestly just avoid anything more than three books long. I don’t got time for that shit. Last trilogy I read was the Imperial Radch and each of those books were fairly easy reads.
I have read and watched enough unfinished tales that I basically wait until everything is complete before picking them up.

Doris Lessing’s Shikasta series is pretty good and it’s 5 books. They’re not that long or anything
I can fuck with longer series (Glen Cook’s Black Company comes to mind) but it does need to end somewhere.
