The Elric series by Michael Moorcock - when you say you've read it 3 or 4 times it seems impressive, but the first seven books total maybe 2 or 3 regular novels. There have been some good spin-offs not written by Moorcock. This is one of those worlds that would be a great (or horrible) adaptation.
Another is the Drizzt Do'Urden series by R. L. Salvatore set in the Forgotten Realms world of D&D, along with several other series in that world. These were mostly from the late 80s and 90s.
In high school, I ran across a series called Thieves World. It was comprised of short stories surrounding a cast of characters in one town, all members of a thieves' guild. I remember loving the first book, but thinking the second was dumb. Great idea that fizzled quick, I guess.
I don’t have a great definition, but I consider a “series” two or more books with same characters. It’s just that most of my favorites are trilogies or several books.

Thanks for the recs! I know there’s a world of “hard fantasy” out there but I haven’t even entered mainstream fantasy yet. Baby steps.
Does it have to be more than a trilogy to count?
Very daunted by the prospect of reading all Sanderson. I kind of want to re read stormlight before 5 and I’m not sure I’ll be able to handle that.
