No-- I see no reason for them to be "banned." And a "serial novel with distinct episodes" has an alternate name-- it is called a "short story collection."

You're pushing a very narrow definition here, that doesn't cover the cases in question.

Yes, I am pushing a definition of serial that fits what this thread is about, and not one so outrageously broad that anything that ever has any sort of sequel suddenly is called a "serial."
