It varies with the reader, but just as one example, how many wish they'd stopped with GRRM after the third book?
Are there any long series you liked that you enjoyed?

I am still reading Discworld. I've enjoyed most of the books iIve read so far. And I expect that to be the same as I keep reading.

A good example of a series I gave up on was the Robert Jordan Wheel of Time series.
