I feel like it will be bad because authors won't have freedom to make things their way.

Should I spend my time reading it or look for a long series of a single author?

I started reading the canon novels about the time of TFA. Have enjoyed most of the (read about 20 in total). Some are targeted more towards an audience that I'm not in, but that's understandable. Never felt like the stories were too restricted. If that's your biggest concern I would suggest the high republic books, or the ones around characters that have less storyline in the movies and series.

My favourite is Catalyst: a rouge one story. Like the movies it does a really great job adding to the narrative that follows it.
