It sounds to me like an author who didn’t plot out their story (or went off plan) and now they’re dragging it out instead of tying it all up. I see it in a lot of WIPs and it’s part of why I only read completed works.

This. I've seen a wip floating around, in a fandom and pairing I like, that's already over 1,000,000 words. Seriously - one. million. words. Unfinished story.

The summary is attractive, but every time I look at it, I back away; it's too much to tackle in one story. Every time it crosses my path I think, "Why didn't you find some natural stopping places, and make a series of several sequential stories?"

IDK - there's just a different feel between reading a first story and liking it so much that you proceed to the sequels with cries of joy, and thinking about reading ONE story that's equivalent to 15 novels. And the longer it grows without being finished, the less inclined I am to even look at it.
