"Episodes of a serial" does not match the word "anthology".
Cinisajoy is correct.
By using/including the word "anthology", you are indicating to potential purchasers that it is a collection of standalone works with some sort of common theme.
For instance, a collection of short stories set in the same world as a long-running series (many authors do this).
Or, a collection of stories by different authors.
You are not the latter.
You *may* be the former, but not according to the description you gave in your OP.
You sound like you are publishing Part 1, Part 2, Part xx of a single story. That is certainly not an anthology!
If I were to buy an "anthology", and then discover that it doesn't match the generally accepted concept of "anthologies", I would return it if possible and not buy anything else by that author.
