amen. it's one of the reasons why i never got into comics.
i need a beginning,middle and end. i need an element of "danger" that the character could die at the end of the series or something. when you start hitting 7,8 and 9+ novels, you've become a novelized comic book or friday the 13th film. it becomes a job to keep up, not a joy.
no story is THAT epic that its story should take 10 novels to tell. to me all it does is scream filler filler filler.
it looks like authors/publishers have gotten so embarrassed by the practice that they don't even bother numbering the books anymore.
