Each of them have written at least five high quality novels that belong in the literary cannon, but many are lost in the shuffle, blurred by an ocean of novel upon novel sprawled across their personal bibliography.
Its wonderful for fans in many ways as they get to read their favourite writer each year but perhaps damaging to their overall legacy to have weak novels thrown in among their great works.

I don’t think so. Some authors have the knack for writing prolifically, yet eat book stands on its own and keeps readers coming back. I’ve also read other authors that only wrote one book and seemingly had little to say. When I find an author I enjoy who has written a ton, I celebrate.
As a big King fan, I am definitely happy he publishes so many. Sure there are some weaker ones in there but I really enjoy his style so I enjoy reading even the lower tier ones
The highs are high and will stand the test of time. If anything, I’d say frequent publishing helps to expose them to a much wider audience, which will naturally be curious to see what all the fuss is about and ask to be directed to these authors’ best works.
