Next book in series

I've been reading a long series straight through, and the infinite scroll format of the book list has grown increasingly painful the further in I get. Instead of having to click from the book I just finished, into the series as a whole, locate the next one in the list, and click through to that, it'd be really awesome to be able to just have a "next book in series" button (maybe also a "previous book in series" button?) when on the page of a book that's part of a series, in order to quickly & easily navigate; I think this might help slightly on the server end too as it's pulling less data each time someone's trying to get from one book in a series to the next.
Comments
If you get this data setup, I think a series page under the user that would show the series name, last book finished and next book. Could add a line/bar with different colors for read/not read to show if we missed a book. if numbered sort in that order if not use pub date. Might even have room for more stats like some other suggestions. This would be all series on the user’s shelves.
Came here to suggest this too until I saw your comment! This is also a gripe of mine, a feature like this would help a lot!
Agreed! Would love something like this especially for long manga series or the literary magazine I read (it's currently on volume 60 something, which is a lot of scrolling!). It would also really help when trying to figure out if there is a next book or if that next book is out yet.
Sure. We also need to tidy up our series data and pages and we'll have a pages option on list views as well. As well as improving performance on infinite scroll!
Oooh I would particularly like this for comics/graphic novels, where there are multiple ways that the issues are organized. There is so much clicking and scrolling to get from Paper Girls, vol. 3 to Paper Girls, vol. 4!
