Heck yes. “What happens now!?” Where do the characters go? What happens next in the world the author built for us? Personally there’s even a slight bit of resentment to pick up another book about another character set in the same world, perhaps somewhere else in the timeline, because I got so into the part I’d read and don’t want to have to shift gears and learn about new characters, settings, and personalities.
The Magicians book series by Lev Grossman was really a big nice circle with a complete ending in my opinion. I read it twice and so truly immersed in the entire experience.
A House For Mr Biswas by V.S. Naipaul was another deeply immersive experience of an entire life itself. And every person out there is living all this on their own. When I finished it I just thought "what an epic masterpiece!"
