* ''Literature/{{Worm}}'': Many fans ignore the existence of the sequel, ''Literature/{{Ward}}'', for various reasons.
** TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt was the finale for ''Worm'', which was already a dark story, so everything afterwards can veer into TooBleakStoppedCaring far more easily than intended.
** Antares is generally perceived as having weaker team dynamics than the Undersiders, and in some cases come off as totally unsympathetic ([[spoiler:which is especially impressive given that one of the Undersiders was confirmed to be a rapist and showed no remorse over said actions]]).
** Some fans wrote off the story once it was revealed that protagonist was an OlderAndWiser Glory Girl, as Victoria's initial showing was so poor that no one wanted to give her a chance to do better.
** Probably the biggest facing ''Ward'' is that ''Worm'''s ending was considered such that a sequel ''wasn't seen as necessary'' - people felt it should be open ended.

The book ends with Anastasia realizing that she cannot fulfill Christian's [=BDSM=] needs and leavinghim.him, thus putting an end to their dysfunctional relationship. The first book could then potentially be viewed as a flawed yet interesting erotic drama, in a similar vein as ''Film/NineAndAHalfWeeks''. However, in the sequel Ana almost immediately take Christian back, with the rest of the trilogy chronicling the ups and downs of their romance, which largely remains highly dysfunctional and arguably abusive (though the series doesn't often treat it as such).
** Even some legitimate fans of ''Fifty Shades'' prefer to ignore the trilogy retelling the series from [[PerspectiveFlip Christian’s viewpoint]]; while it doesn’t really add anything new to the story (with some calling it a cash grab), the really contentious part is that the retelling makes Christian come off as extremely creepy and unhinged; while his behaviour in the original trilogy is certainly questionable, the retelling made it difficult for fans to view him as an appealing love interest at all because ''Grey'', ''Darker'' and ''Freed'' make him out to be even worse than when he’s described through Ana’s eyes. For readers who already didn't much like Christian, this trilogy often only reinforced their opinion rather than presenting him in a more sympathetic light.

* Many fans despise the ending of the final ''Literature/TheDreamers2003'' series book ''The Younger Gods'' by Creator/DavidEddings, and so quite a few just ignore the book in its entirety. The biggest issue is that the plot of the series concerned fighting an enemy that wants world domination and is constantly creating new servants in new forms. At the end of the last book, the ''real'' creator gods (which came out of nowhere) go back in time and make the enemy infertile -- which nullifies ''the entire series''. As in, once they're done, the book's events change so that while the gods remember what had happened, nobody else does, because to them, it had never happened, and everyone is back where they started. Many fans found this extremely unsatisfying and so pretend it didn't happen.
