Hi everyone! Today's video will be about 5 series that, in my opinion, should've been standalone novels. After that, I will also be talking about 5 series in which the first book work as a standalone but I'm grateful they're a series instead of being only a one-off standalone. Whew, that's a mouthful. I hope you get what I mean, though. I've seen several booktubers do this video, and as I read more series, the more I agree with them.

Let me know what you think about this list! What series, in your opinion, would've been better as a one-off standalone novel?
