Often. That why I don’t start a series of books unless there are at least like 4-5 in the series. But even then the series ends sometimes and it feels like you’ve lost a dear friend.
That's also why I don't like to watch a TV show when it first comes out, since it's so common for them to get canceled partway through a major storyline. Got left hanging a few times and it sucked.
110% agree … It’s so frustrating to get hooked on a show and Netflix/Amazon cancels it because it was only slightly popular and didn’t have Stranger Things kind of numbers.
Case in point, I’m a huge Star Trek fan but I didn’t start Strange New Worlds until now after it had three seasons under its belt.
Heck yes. “What happens now!?” Where do the characters go? What happens next in the world the author built for us? Personally there’s even a slight bit of resentment to pick up another book about another character set in the same world, perhaps somewhere else in the timeline, because I got so into the part I’d read and don’t want to have to shift gears and learn about new characters, settings, and personalities.
The Magicians book series by Lev Grossman was really a big nice circle with a complete ending in my opinion. I read it twice and so truly immersed in the entire experience.
A House For Mr Biswas by V.S. Naipaul was another deeply immersive experience of an entire life itself. And every person out there is living all this on their own. When I finished it I just thought "what an epic masterpiece!"
