How it's used
Used primarily for organized sets of creative works or commercial products that share a common theme or branding. While it functions similarly to the English word series, it is rarely used for abstract sequences of events or unrelated items. It carries a sense of deliberate curation or production by a single entity.

Common mistake
Avoid using this to describe a simple list or a sequence of random events, as it implies a cohesive, intentional grouping. For a sequence of events, use 過程 or 經過 instead.
