like, I feel you but at the same time, consider what circumstances usually lead to robust fanwork activity...

either the source material is rife with so many plot holes, missing scenes, etc, that fandom feels the need to write fix-it fic and between-the-scenes fic to fill out what the source failed to address

or

the source material has such encouraging content that people can't help but write fic because they just want more - more of the characters, more of the setting, what have you.

So, there's a very real chance that either the books you read are so closed in that people feel satisfied, like they don't really need or want more of the characters or the setting, or it's so well-done that there's no holes to plug. Either way. I find that a lot of the books I read, that's exactly how I feel at the end. The book is done. I'm good. I don't need more of it. I'm happy with what I've got.

Or not enough people like reading.

Or they're older books that were popular well before the internet and have since then dropped out of the public view, so even if there was once an actual fandom, it was gone before it could have become an online community. Which tends to be the case with the books that I really get into and want fandom for, although very occasionally I will unexpectedly find something.

all very good reasons a book doesn't have fanworks, yes.

I feel like there's a chance older or obscure books may attract RPers but not people interested in fic or art. It's weird.
