I have a friend who grimly stuck it out through Wheel of Time long after he stopped enjoying it out of completionism.

Screw that.

For books, I get it. I feel a deep compulsion to finish any book I start, whether I like it or not.

For television shows? Nah, I'll stop right away if I get bored.

The books or the godawful Amazon series?

[-] eestileib@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Books.

Yeah, I don't blame him. If the slog were one or two books, that would be forgivable, but four and the majority of Knife of Dreams is excessive.

I'm pretty sure I would never have fully read the series if I didn't start it as a teen with too much time to spare

Be civil and nice.
Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
