Series naming: main title plus a rule for volume subtitles

When to use it

Naming a multi-volume or seasonal series. Naming only book one gets you stuck at book three.

Design a naming system for this series.
Series overview: [Series overview]
Number of volumes (or seasons) and each one's core event: [Per-volume events]
Output:
1) Three main-title options (three words or fewer).
2) Two subtitle rules — e.g. each volume named for an object / a time expression / a character's title. For each rule, fill in every volume's subtitle.
3) A display format so search and shelving group the series (e.g. Main Title 1: Subtitle).
Rule: each subtitle rule must extend cleanly to the final volume. Output the list only.

The instruction exceeds 500 characters; the free run applies only the beginning. Copying applies the whole prompt.

Free runs use the fast model and return a short preview (about 300 words). Only the first ~1,000 words of manuscript are read.

How to get the most from it

Object-based subtitle rules last longest; time expressions get awkward around volume three.
Keep the main title short so 'Main 3: Subtitle' does not truncate in store listings.
