suggestions about naming and structuring of an pentalogie

[skyzuma]

i need help for naming and structuring of a multi series serie like an pentalogie ... i have "Stefan Burban - Das gefallene Imperium" - sry for german website - and idk how i build the structure for a good and logical detection from ABS. There are 5 parts and if i see correct, its following:

part 1

• book 01
• book 02
• book 03
• book 04
• book 05

part 2

• book 06
• book 07
• book 08
• book 09
• book 10

part 3 - looks like a short story in this same universe / series

• book 1
• book 2
• book 3
• book 4
• book 5
• book 6

part 4 - is the continuation of part 2

• book 11
• book 12
• book 13
• book 14
• book 15

i dont like an series of any part ... atm i have this but i hate it ...

There have been a couple of issues and discussions about subseries -- I also have several LONG series which are composed of multiple separate arcs.

Currently, the best model appears to be putting the series tags for both the mega-series and the sub-series. Applying it to that series, I would use something like this:

• The Last bastion (The Fallen Empire #⁠1.1, The Drizil War #⁠1)
• The Battle of Vector Prime (The Fallen Empire #⁠1.2, The Drizil War #⁠2)
• ...
• Deceptive Peace (The Fallen Empire #⁠2.1, The Nefraltiri War #⁠1)
• Enemy Contact (The Fallen Empire #⁠2.2, The Nefraltiri War #⁠2)
• ...

Of course, that means you have both levels of series that show up in the series list unnecessarily, but it's the best current solution. If you use the Collapse Sub-Series option, you can click on The Fallen Empire and see inside it The Drizil War, The Nefraltiri War, etc.
