No, there isn't. There is a huge disagreement between what I define as a serial and what you define as a serial, but there is no gray area
to me within what I define as a serial. To me, a "serial" is: a longer work broken up into shorter segments for periodic publication that, at the end of the run,
will be assembled into a single novel for publication. That isn't gray area, that is simply excluding everything else-- including TV series, series of novels, and comics-- from that definition. You may prefer to stretch the word until it is meaningless, but I choose not to.

Are you saying that these should be banned because some clown who never wrote anything before decided to publish a rambling book snippet by snippet?

I never, for one god damned minute, have said anything should be "banned." Stop trying to shove your words into my mouth. The question was "would you buy this"-- not "should we ban this." A "banning" is their own business decision that they will make for their own economic reasons.
