A literature phenomenon in which the first book of a series does so well, and may even be considered a classic, that subsequent books in the series become staggeringly formulaic, to the point where the only difference between it and the last one are maybe location, names of characters, and point in time the story takes place in.
Named for Piers Anthony, author of the Xanth series, one of the most notable instances of this phenomenon.

"I really liked Frank Herbert's "Dune". It was honestly a well written story, its just that his other books got quite... similar afterwards. Same general plot, message, almost everything but the names."

Get the Piers Anthony Disease mug.
Anthony is really an interesting character. He is the guy who pings the respawn beacon 10000 times until you eventually die from distraction. All in all he is a really good friend and is always in it for the meme. He is very thrifty so watch out Amazon because he's got your number on that return policy.
