Series of Books for Extensive Reading

I'm hoping to make this an evergreen list of book series that I have the luck to find for extensive reading.

Some of this might be children's series, but for languages like Russian, I can't really be too picky cause my vocab is absolute гавно лол.

We'll start with my native language, because I had the pleasure to grow up reading fiction, and I consumed a lot of good content that greatly helped in expressing myself better in school and writing. (Harry Potter is a given, that's why it's not on the list).
