In my opinion, mysteries are the only genre where the lack of final is important - cause their whole schtick is the riddle and the answer, and if the plot is unfinished, you are left without the answer. In all other cases, the value lies in emotions and thoughts that you get while reading. ASOIAF, for that matter, brought me more joy and influenced me more than almost any finished series I've read.
The article says that readers refuse to read Russian-language books, but haven't those books (including those written by Ukrainian authors) been banned after the war started?
