I also am glad to have this tool but am responding to you in particular to find out what the certain book series is where 8/9/10 are filler novels, because I hate read things sometimes
Comment on Site that let's me filter by standalone novels only?

And there are even recommended tag mashes for different genres! I have found my people who have been similarly hurt by picking up a book that they thought was a standalone, then running right into a cliff hanger wall and an unfinished series.

If you google “which wheel of time can I skip” you will find many discussions about it.
You’ll also find fan edits where for a ton of chapters are skipped and instead gives a small update of anything important that happened.
Famously, despite women being incredibly powerful and it having tons of female characters that talk to one another, he gives a lot of them quirks that get brought up all the time.

Spot on!
I remember in middle school when I was given the series I was hooked after reading the first book!
Then as I was getting more through the series it was more a sense of stubborn wanting to see it through than anything.
