Help with series

[Moloch]

I think the numbering of this series
https://www.goodreads.com/series/5824...

is wrong.

As I learn from here https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... , the novels "Lord of the Vampires", "Lord of Rage", "Lord of the Wolfyn" and "Lord of the Abyss" were the original works (and are indeed the primary works of the series). They were then split in tiny parts (Part X of 12) and published as shorts.

Right now the 12 "shorts" are no. 1, 2, 3... 12 and the novels (though primary works) are treated as "omnibus" (1-3, 4-6, etc).

I think it should be the other way round: the 4 novels should be books 1, 2, 3, 4 in the series (and primary works), the shorts should be "book 1, part 1", "book 1, part 2" etc (and non primary works).

Is that ok if I make these changes?
Thanks

They are not even grouped correctly for the current numbering.

I think your plan is fine.

Ok I think I fixed most of it but I have other questions (this series is complicated)

this one
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

has book 1 in the series + other books by the same author but not part of the series

For this one
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

the situation is similar: it's book 3 in the series + another (unrelated?) novella by the same author.

Should these 2 be in the series? They are not combined with editions with only book 1 and book 3 and I've left them in the series page as "book 1" and "book 3", but as non primary works. I don't know if it's right.

(As a side note, here https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio... I am not 100% sure that the non English edition has the same content, maybe it misses the bonus novella and should be combined with https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio... )

That's correct.
