THE LIBRARY · READING ORDER
Series are family trees with cover art.
One romance was apparently not enough. Somebody added siblings, cousins, rivals, kingdoms and twenty years of consequences. This is where the order becomes readable.
READING ORDER
Find the family, then find the book
A series hub explains the design concept: which books belong together, whose romance leads each volume, what order matters, and where RaeRae’s owned shelf enters. Franchise hubs do a different job by mapping the same story across light novel, manga and anime.

TWO KINDS OF CONNECTION
Book series versus franchise
Romance series
New central couple, recurring family or social network, and a cover row that shows the whole sequence.
Fantasy sequence
One continuing plot divided across volumes, with book-specific reviews and a series-level verdict.
Light-novel franchise
The same core cast can cross prose, manga and anime without becoming three unrelated subjects.
CVM rule
The series page maps relationships. The book page owns the volume’s evidence.
On the record: a front-cover row is the visual spine, but the hub must also explain what connects the books and why the order matters.
