>It seems to me that the biggest problem with series books is that either readers complain that the books used to be good but that somewhere in the effort to get out a book every year the quality has fallen off, or they complain that the books, although maintaining quality, aren't coming out on time. I see this a lot with hip hop, someone like Andre 3000 has never actually put out an album. Still regarded as one of the best rappers of all time, E-40, and most other Bay area rappers will put out multiple releases in a single year. E-40 tends to not get quite as much praise, but I personally think he's a better artist since he can put out content. But I don't spend all day tweeting at Andre 3000 that he needs to give me five albums. Lauryn Hill is looking like she's never going to finish another album in her life, it's okay. She left her mark. Likewise, Game of thrones has already done what it was going to do for this culture. I remember going to a watch party for the last episode, and it was great. This was pre-COVID, and everyone was very social, it felt like a community. Even though we were just paying a bar to let us sit and watch, we talked. So I commend you George RR Martin, you brought people together , you connected people. If he never writes another page, that adds a bit of mystique to it all. It's just an unfinished story
