This is a good time to remind everyone that in order for a series to be finished, it has to sell. If you don't buy the books in the series you want to read/pirate them instead, the chances of you never getting the next book from the author, or the series being finished, grows, and it's not small growth. The number of Stephen Kings who can afford to not have you buy their book because you'd rather pirate/wait for a series to be finished is minimal. Most authors need you to buy their books so that they can give you more, and not just because they need to earn a living (they do).
To put it simply, publishers buy books with advances, and the publisher cares only about your book selling enough to earn out that advance. They may give you the next book in a series before it does, but now you have two books that have to earn back their advance. And if they don't? Well, they're not profitable. Why would a company keep buying something that will only lose them money?
See, most of the time the problem isn't authors going 'well no one is reading this, so I might as well not write it', it's publishers going 'well no one's buying this, so it's a waste of our money and resouces, so we're not publishing more of this'. You need to understand this if you want to keep reading books.
If you want a series to continue or an author to write more, you cannot pirate books, and you cannot wait for a series to be finished to buy the first book. And if you do, you're not allowed to complain about series being cancelled or how there are no new interesting books coming out, because you are part of the problem.
just saw someone reviewing the erin hunter books like, ‘they should publish the whole series at once, i don’t want to wait a whole year to read it’. like babe i hate to break it to you but,,,, go touch some grass and think about your relationship with consumerism okay, because it’s gotten really weird on you
