Should I continue my story, or start a new one?

[E.Z.KAI]

I've now finished the first arc of my story Monster Girl Bet! and started Arc 2. However, there's a change in the protagonist (the main character's son), as well as a 20-year time skip and the main goal changed too.

Should i treat it as a new book?

if it is a new plot, new characters, new basis except same world, -- new book.
there is a spot in the synopsis page to say its a side story/ side branch of the previous.

Prob side story imo. I think smut readers would be disoriented to suddenly having sex scenes with a different man as the lead. Unless of course you've made that clear but your tags doesn't have multiple POV or multiple protagonist. So it might risk alienating your current readers.

Old characters will be appearing, but mainly as side characters, while their children steal the spotlight.

Ah! Ty! I should add multiple pov nonetheless
