>Because that's not what most people read the stories for.
i wonder if this is true nowadays. i brought it up because i just finished a series and had that craving (PGTE), but also because people were rating pic related very highly (i haven't read it).
if people are willing to read a book with that kind of premise and love it, imagine the same, except the "premise" is an entire series on its own where you went through all the highs and lows with the cast together.

you could argue that feelgood stories are indulgent, but it looks like fiction is heading in that direction anyway. maybe it's just the influence of japanese media making slice of life seem more appealing.
