If you want something big as a mountain (as big as WoT) try Malazan Book of the Fallen. It’s tough but the payoffs are great. I’ve read it twice

Well there’s Discworld, there’s a lot of titles under the same universe and some are sequels and some are not. Most of them have a humorous bend.
You might like Harry Dresden series. This is a private investigator but as the books continue onward, things get more and more complicated and the stakes get bigger and bigger. I know that some detective series tend to stay as detectives always solving detective murders and that’s all the series ever does. This series is not like that. It’s okay to skip some of the first books, it starts out a little bit slowly in this series.
Another idea in that similar vein is the Mercy Thompson series, it’s about a coyote shifter who is in a wolf eat wolf world (so she’s an underdog).
Another idea for you is the Stephen King novels. Hear me out, these books tend to be pretty long but a lot of them hook into one another. There’s a couple of pictures drawn out there of how which books hook into which other books and it creates sort of a network that shows the layout of the world building happening. So if there is a Stephen King novel that you liked you might start there and see which other books would be good to read before and after. Not suggesting that you read all of the Stephen King books back to back of course. But if there’s a book that you liked there might be another book that is related to it.
