Can you find any books in a series like this?

IN YOUR OPINION.
It's not what most authors and publishers mean. Your definition of
Standalone means it has ZERO to do with any of the other books in the series wouldn't be a novel in a series at all.
That means you cannot have anything referencing anything in the other books. Also, none of the other books can reference anything to do with that book
This also is too restrictive. It's like claiming a book can't reference events in real life or mention another book by someone else.
It depends how dependent the story is on the mention.
