My main complaint about everything in my favorite genres (SciFi and fantasy) being a series is that unless all books have already been written, there is no telling how long it will take before the next book comes out. Typically, I find a good book, read it and love it, and then find out that it's the first in a series. At that point, I have to decide if I want to read the existing books and then sit on a cliff hanger for X number of decades and have to re-read the first ones when the next one finally comes out, or wait until the series is completed in X number of decades, and then re-read only the first one.
I remember the screams of agony that echoed across the internet when Robert Jordan died before finished The Wheel of Time. I didn't care for that series, so that didn't bother me very much, but I'd hate to be in that position with a series where i actually care about the plot and characters.
