Figuring out what counts as "done" is tricky—some people mean complete series, others mean standalone novels with resolved endings. I get most of my recommendations from forums dedicated to specific genres now. There's a decent subreddit for completed fantasy series where users maintain spreadsheets tracking publishing status. That saved me from starting another series that looked finished but had a surprise sequel announced.

Another method is filtering on Goodreads lists. I search something like "Best Completed Paranormal Romance Series" and then check the publication dates on the last book. If it's more than a few years old with no news, it's usually safe. Librarians are also weirdly good at this; my local library's website lets you filter by "series complete" in their catalog, which is a hidden gem.

I just look at author websites. If they're actively promoting a new series, the old one is probably done. Or I check if the final book has 'conclusion' or 'last adventure' in the description. Series that market themselves as complete often say so right in the blurb.

Ask in a niche community. I lurked on a mystery novel Discord for months before posting, and when I finally asked for finished detective series, I got like twenty replies with detailed notes on which ones had satisfying endings versus which ones felt rushed. Readers there care deeply about closure.

Also, some web novel sites have a 'completed' tag, but be careful—sometimes a translation is abandoned even if the original is done. I learned that the hard way with a Korean novel that stopped updating halfway.

How can I find best novel books that match my favorite genre?

Wikipedia deep dives. Start with the page for a favorite novel, then click through to the author's page. Scroll down to the 'Influences' section. Then click on those influences. Then look at their bibliographies. It's a rabbit hole that connects the dots across decades of literary tradition. You start with a modern fantasy novel and end up reading a 19th-century adventure serial or a mythological text that inspired it. Understanding that lineage makes you a more discerning reader and opens up a whole history of genre evolution to explore.

I just go to the 'All Prime Reading Books' list and use my browser's find-on-page function (Ctrl+F) to search for genre keywords. It's crude, but it works. Authors and publishers often put key genre words in the title or subtitle. Searching for 'Dragon,' 'Witch,' 'Murder,' 'Billionaire,' etc., will pull up relevant books from the massive, uncategorized list.

I use The StoryGraph instead of Goodreads for this. Their mood and pace filters are genius. After finishing a fast-paced, adventurous, and dark fantasy, I can search for exactly that combo. The data comes from user tags, so it's messy but human. It's led me to books I'd never find through traditional genre labels alone.
