In my current series I plan to write five books in total. However, after looking over the plots, I feel books one and two are completely unnecessary and their plots can be altered without impacting the story at all.
Since books three through five focus on a new set of characters, the history of books one and two (which take place twenty years prior) can be explained in a prologue, through some explanation from a character or hinted at throughout the trilogy.
Also, since this is adding two more books to the series, I feel it is becoming somewhat of an over kill as this is the series so far:
Story Arc 1
Book I
Book II
Story Arc 2
Book III
Book IV
Book V
Story Arc 3
Manga I
Manga II
Other
Prequel Book (made up of multiple stories similar to World War Z)
Guide to the Races and worlds within the story line.
Do you think books one and two should be scraped?
