A sequence of printed literary works, sometimes novels, that share widespread characters, settings, or themes, and that are issued over an prolonged interval. Examples embody “Harry Potter” by J.Okay. Rowling, “Discworld” by Terry Pratchett, and “The Lord of the Rings” by J.R.R. Tolkien. The sustained narrative arc and constant world-building are hallmarks of such literary endeavors.
These prolonged narratives supply readers a chronic engagement with favored characters and fictional universes, fostering a way of familiarity and funding. This may result in substantial cultural influence, producing devoted fan bases, inspiring by-product works, and influencing fashionable tendencies. Traditionally, the publication of such collection has offered authors with secure earnings and afforded them the chance to discover advanced themes intimately over a few years.
