i think it is unrealistic for fans to expect sequels to be published a year after the first one and also want the book at its highest quality. it's okay to expect a few years in between and i think it weird how much pressure authors face to publish their next book immediately. that's a lot of stress on authors and i think it often leads to books being put out before they are ready.

If you truly enjoy books, you should be used to a slower consumption experience.

Apply this to time between installments.

Accept that if you get into a good series with multiple books to go, you are going to be following it for a decade or more.

A bad book published on schedule is on time once, but bad forever.

A good book published on a delay is late once, and then good forever.

Ultimately, you're getting a book either way. The question is, would you like something satisfactory that you can look back on fondly for the rest of your life, or do you want something that the author rushed out over the course of a bunch of sleepless nights that reflects the quality of those working conditions?

Good work takes time. If you're really pressed about authors not handing you a novel each year, go write fanfic - and find out for yourself how hard it is to produce a novel's worth of good, solid, well-paced, well-plotted story regularly.
