My Top 15 Ongoing Series! (As of 2023)

Ойын-сауық

Hi everyone! Today's video is a big one. My top 15 ongoing series as of 2023. Yes, it is time to update my favorite ongoing series list. It has been three years since I posted my first video on this. Since then, I've read tons of series; both ongoing and completed series. I am sure I'm in the middle of more than 100 ongoing series, and I will share my top 15 ongoing series now. I was going to post this at the end of last year. But because of the changes in ranking and many new series being added to the list, I needed days of deliberation to feel confident with my rankings. So here it is. Here's my top 15 ongoing series of all time as of 2023. Let me know what's yours!
(Rules: None of the series listed are completed. And I have read at least two books in the series.)

    Good list. I am finally going through Stormlight( I have the audiobooks) and am enjoying it a lot. I can see why folks rate it so high. For me, MistBorn will always hold a special place in my heart as my favorite Brandon Sanderson series but Stormlight shows that Brandon is more than capable of crafting a large epic fantasy and having it be focused on characters. Because one of my bigger gripes with epic fantasy is when authors don’t know when to keep it simple and focused.

    Thank you, Neil! I definitely understand what you mean. Sometimes large epic fantasy series keep making themselves bigger without keeping a tighter focus on the character's journey, which is always integral to my enjoyment. Despite how much I love Stormlight, though, Mistborn will always have a special place for me as it is the series of fantasy novels that made me love reading books! :)

I do hope that the next one can bump up to a higher overall star rating as I agree I think that the first was the best one of those two so far. Sullivan is always on my list. Will read anything that he brings out :) I do need to get to Ryan Cahill. Everyone seems to be talking about this and I definitely need to get on this bandwagon! I certainly will be looking into the Brian Staveley series too. I’m intrigued by that one.

    I'm currently reading the Of Blood and Bone Trilogy right now... 📚🥰📖 will be picking up Book 2 of The Gentleman Bastards in a month or 2, as well as book 2 of the Bound and the Broken. I'm so looking forward to new releases from Evan Winter & Pierce Brown! 😊 personally, I am also highly anticipating Mirrored Heavens by Rebecca Roanhorse and Jay Kristoff's Empire of the Damned... 📚🥰📖

    I am shocked Never Die Broken Binding edition isn't sold out! Really looking forward to that one. It's also going to be fascinating to see where Hierarchy slots into this list once The Strength of the Few is out, I think it could easily be a top 5 contender, especially if Stormlight Archives is considered finished with the next book and you do this video again after that. Personally I would remove ASOIAF from this list and replace it with Arcane Ascension, I liked the first 2 books but I don't really care for the series all that much, I doubt I'll ever do a reread but I probably will read Winds of Winter if it does come out. I would also put A Pattern of Shadow and Light in place of The Osten Ard Saga, I've only read a part of The Dragonbone chair but it just didn't click and I got bored and DNF'd it but I don't know if A Pattern of Shadow and Light is eligible for this list after the tragic death of the author, I have a small hope they find someone to carry it on, I would love to see her work completed. I think I'd also have Gentlemen Bastard a bit higher up my list, I agree the 3rd book isn't as good but I think a lot of that is just a testament to how good book 1 and especially book 2 were!

    I know right? Never Die The Broken Binding Press looks amazing. I can't believe it's still there. I hope it will sold out soon. I think last I heard more than 1000 copies are gone already. I cannot wait to read the second book of Hierarchy. I'm sure it will shot up my ranking if it's as good as The Will of the Many! And yeah, I am considering The Stormlight Archive finished after this for the next decade. :)

    You got a pretty solid list I think most fantasy readers could get behind. I first read Chris Gooding last year and I will have to add The Ember Blade to my TBR. I also still need to check out Rob J. Hayes, Ryan Cahill and Brian Staveley - all new Authors for me, possibly in this year or the next. My Top 10 Ongoing Series: 10. Dead Djinn Universe by P. Djeli Clark - I would like to read more books written in this world and series by this author. 09. The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher - Short, fun and easy-to-read books make these a good pallet cleanser. 08. Between Earth and Sky by Rebecca Roanhorse - The second book stumbled with middle-book syndrome, so hoping the finale is better. 07. The Age of Uprising by Richard S. Ford - This is a mid series, but I believe the author is capable and I'm rooting for it to develop into something great. 06. The Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson - Lower on my list only because the series is becoming more and more sci-fi oriented, which is not my genre of choice. 05. War Arts Saga by Wesley Chu - The first two books were both solid, and I can't wait to see how this author completes the series. 04. The Band by Nicholas Eames - I loved both of the first two books. 03. The Gentlemen Bastards by Scott Lynch - Such a well-written friendship and Rogue-type characters. 02. The Bloodsworn Saga by John Gwynne - Last year, he became a must-read author for me thanks to this series along with The Faithful and the Fallen. 01. A Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin - this is the series I would most enjoy seeing get finished, but also the least likely to happen.
