My pick is for those who love intricate magic systems that clearly have rules waiting to be exploited over many books. 'The Founders Trilogy' by Robert Jackson Bennett, starting with 'Foundryside'.

The magic is based on 'scriving'—rewriting the reality of objects with commands. The first book is a heist story in a city controlled by merchant houses, but the implications of the magic are universe-breaking. By the end, you realize the story isn't just about one city; it's about the fundamental laws of reality and the beings who might have written them. The sequels escalate the scope dramatically. You can see the author methodically peeling back layers of a cosmic onion, with each book revealing a larger, more terrifying truth. That's a planned arc.

Honestly, half the fun is the speculation. Reading a great series starter and then jumping into forum theories about where it's all headed? That's the best part of a long arc. The community build-up around books like 'The Will of the Many' or 'The Bone Shard Daughter' is almost as fun as the books themselves. You feel like you're part of uncovering something big, piece by piece, over years. That shared anticipation is a unique joy of the genre.

I tend to prefer fantasy that feels like a slice of a bigger world, not a guided tour of its major plot points. 'The Gutter Prayer' by Gareth Hanrahan is like that.

It's a weird, city-based fantasy with ghouls, thieves, and stone-eating saints. The first book is a chaotic, brilliant mess of a story about a heist gone wrong and a divine plague. But the city of Guerdon feels absolutely alive, with centuries of history, political factions, and Lovecraftian gods lurking just offshore. The sequels expand the scope beyond the city, but even in book one, you get the sense that this is just one story in a much larger, stranger universe. The arc feels organic, like the world existed long before the camera turned on.

Which new fantasy series should I start for long-term reading?

A lot of recommendations here are Western fantasy. If you want to branch out, translated works offer incredible long series. 'The Three-Body Problem' trilogy by Cixin Liu is hard sci-fi, but it reads like epic fantasy in its scope and imagination. It's a completed, mind-bending journey through cosmic sociology. Or try 'Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit' by Nahoko Uehashi (originally Japanese), a fantasy series deeply rooted in anthropology and spirit lore. Different cultural perspectives can make a long series feel brand new.
