Fiction series I won’t be continuing ’22

Hi! I haven’t made one of these posts since 2020 because 2021 was The Great Blog Slump™. So this could be neat. Manga I’ve decided to separate into a different post, just because I have so many series going on now.

Series I’ve decided to discontinue:

And that’s it, honestly. Most of the series I’ve started within the last couple years I’m still set on continuing. These are the ones that didn’t make the cut. If you notice though, The Witcher is absent from this list, even though I DNF’d Blood of Elves…. and that’s because I’m thinking to give that series another shot. At some point, I will re-try Blood of Elves and hope I’m more in the mood for it. Do wish me luck.

Soon there will be manga series discontinued, manga unfinished, and fiction unfinished lists popping up, so keep a look out for those. Peace!

Unfinished series and ones I won’t finish 2020

Well hi! Today is a combination of two posts I try to do every year. Mostly for my own sanity, this year I’m combining them into one: My unfinished series and ones I’ll be discontinuing. We’ll start with the ones I won’t be continuing, then go onto the ones I will be.

Series from last year’s post that I’ve decided to discontinue:

So, the only one above that I might continue at some point is Snow Like Ashes, because I do own the first one. I have read the second, but I don’t own it. Aaaand if I were to ever read the third, I’d have to reread the first two. Right now I don’t see myself doing that, but hey, it could happen.

Series that I started this year and have decided to discontinue:

The majority of these I read and wasn’t too impressed with. The only exceptions to this were Again!! and Every Heart a Doorway. Both of them I did like, but I just feel no urge to continue them.

Ongoing series from last year’s post that I do plan on continuing:

And how many of them I’ve read. If I’ve increased the amount that I’ve read from last year, I’ll bold the number.

2/3 read, 3 owned	1/3 read, 2 owned	9/11 read, 0 owned	2/3 read, 3 owned
2/30 read, 20 owned	4/12 read, 4 owned	2/6 read, 2 owned	2/16 read, 6 owned
3/35 read, 11 owned	4/26 read, 4 owned	18/56 read, 26 owned	4/14 read, 4 owned
3/10 read, 6 owned	18/33 read, 18 owned	4/5 read, 4 owned	1/7 read, 0 owned
1/2 read, 2 owned	2/3 read, 3 owned	1/4 read, 3 owned	1/3 read, 2 owned
3/5 read, 0 owned	2/6 read, 6 owned	1/3 read, 3 owned	5/8 read, 8 owned
1.5/9 read, 2 owned	2/3 read, 2 owned	4/4 read, 3 owned	3/4 read, 3 owned

New series I started this year and plan on continuing:

And how many of them I’ve read.

12/18 read, 12 owned	1/13 read, 1 owned	1/2 read, 2 owned	28/29 read, 28 owned
2/6 read, 4 owned	3/18 read, 4 owned	1/7 read, 3 owned	1/5 read, 3 owned
1/2 read, 2 owned	1/7 read, 2 owned	4/14 read, 7 owned	1/5 read, 2 owned
2/15 read, 0 owned	8/28 read, 0 owned	2/3 read, 3 owned	3/27 read, 0 owned
1/7 read, 3 owned	3/6 read, 3 owned	2/4 read, 4 owned	1/17 read, 1 owned
2/3 read, 3 owned	4/8 read, 8 owned	1/3 read, 1 owned	2/14 read, 2 owned

Aaaand that’s it. I had no idea I was in the middle of so many series until just now, when I went through and listed them all out.

Man.

I think one of my 2021 read goals is going to be to finish some of these, holy cow. Also, this list does not include series that I ended up finishing this year or series that are unfinished, but I’m currently caught up with. So keep that in mind, too.

Happy Blogmas!

Unfinished Series 2019

Happy Monday! Unlike yesterday’s post, these are all the series I’ve started and will continue. It’s an update from last year’s post, and I’m hoping I haven’t added too many more to the list, but you know me.

First I will put all the ones from last year’s post, and put any updates and progress in blue. Any series I’ve since finished and will drop off the list as of next year will be in green. After, I’ll throw in the new series I’ve started this year.

New series

I’m not even gonna link them, there are a lot. I’m hoping to finish up a lot of these this year. And who knows, some of them might end up on the ‘not reading anymore’ list next year though, there are some iffy ones.

Anyways, if you’ve read any of the above, lemme know!

Series I won’t finish | #3

Happy Sunday! Today I will be posting the third rendition of ‘Series I Won’t Finish’. The last time I posted this was in 2017, so these are all the series I’ve started and decided to discontinue since then!

---

Scryed by Yasunari Toda – I read one volume of this and decided it wasn’t for me. It’s a bit of a shame though – I loved the anime.

Merman in My Tub by Itokichi – Again, not for me. A friend lent me this, and when she lends me books I always either love them or hate them, no in between. Unfortunately, this wasn’t a love.

Sweet Filthy Boy by Christina Lauren – I picked this up because I heard good things, and it was alright. I liked it, but it was nothing to write home about. I mean if I find the sequel for a buck somewhere, I’m not saying I won’t get it, but I’m not going out of my way to find the second one of these.

Song of the Hanging Sky by Toriko Gin – This was another borrow from that same friend. Not for me. Usually when I start a manga, I try to give it a few volumes before deciding whether or not I’ll read it, but this one just.. well, it bored me, haha.

Twelve Kings in Sharakhai by Bradley P. Beaulieu – This book took me ages to read. I’m talking months, and that’s because it was rather dull in my opinion. I didn’t connect with the characters, the plot dragged… the ending of it was exciting, but not exciting enough to convince me to pick up book two.

Black Leopard, Red Wolf by Marlon James – I hated this book, point blank. I’m not picking up the next one.

Monstress by Marjorie Liu – I tried two volumes of this and my main issue with it is… when I’m not reading it, I forget everything about it. I couldn’t tell you anyone’s name, or what the plot is aside from there’s an eyeball swirly black creature. I’ve even reread the first volume and I have no idea. So I’ve given this one up.

Wildest Dreams by Kristen Ashley – I didn’t like this book. The romance was horrifically unhealthy and nobody in the book seemed to have an issue with it. Not for me.

Seraph of the End by Takaya Kagami – Yet another borrow from that same friend. THis one kinda bored me. I gave it two volumes and nada.

And that’s it! Next year’s post will contain series I start this coming year and decide to abandon. Until tomorrow, happy reading!

Unfinished Series 2018

Hello! Today’s post is an update of last year’s post, where I go over all the series that I’ve started and haven’t finished. I’m going to divide it up into series that were on the list last year and new series that I’ve started since then. Any series that were from last year that I’ve made progress in will be indicated in blue. Any that I’ve since finished will be marked in green. Any series I’ve decided to quit have been removed.

The Rain Wild Chronicles by Robin Hobb – 2/4 read (3 owned)

The Masquerade by Seth Dickinson – 1/2 read (2 owned)

Monster by Naoki Urasawa – 4/18 read (4 owned)

And that’s it! I added nine new series that I’m not currently caught up on, five of them being manga or graphic novels. Slightly overwhelming.

Oop.

 

My Slightly Overwhelming List of Unfinished Series

Hello! The other day, I made a post about all the series that I don’t plan on continuing. Today, I’m going to post the ones that I’m in the middle of and do plan on finishing. Let me tell you, before making this list, I had no idea it was going to be so big. I think I need to add a ‘Concentrate on finishing series’ resolution to my 2017 Reading Goals. I mean goodness people.

For the series below, I’ll list what they are and how many I’ve read out of how many that currently exist – this means that incomplete series that I’m caught up on won’t count, trilogies that only have two books out so far will be counted out of 2, not 3, etc etc. I’ll also post if I own any of the books in that series. For the sheer amount of books going to be listed, I’m just going to link their goodreads pages instead of going through the plots. This post would essentially be a book of info if I did that.

Buckle up, it’s gonna be an ordeal.
