I've become a big fan of romance series where each book in the series has new characters and maybe there's a bit of a story that continues. I'm ten books into a romance series right now and it feels fresh because I get new characters each time. So many writers essentially end up writing their own fanfiction when they can't end their stories.

Didn't know those existed, a nice compromise between marketability of the series and writing a new book.

If you're in the romance space (as opposed to women's fiction or romantic fiction) it's the norm because a HEA is required for it to be really called romance.
