    Reader note

    I'm recommending three ongoing serialized novels, each with several hundred chapters. All three are quite enjoyable and highly recommended. The third one has a slightly problematic main character at the beginning, but don't worry too much; the protagonist feels more like a supporting character. The author manages to somewhat resolve this later, but it's still readable and doesn't detract from the main plot. [Eating popcorn emoji]
