Looking for recommendations that start with coming of age, but don't stop once the main characters become an adult.

Assuming you don't want DoOvers (since they pretty much all would qualify)...
The Summer Camp series from Nick Scipio
The Outsider/A Flawed Diamond by Jay Cantrell
I think the 'Well lived life' series would qualify
Of those I'd most strongly suggest the second. Grew to dislike the first, and never really wanted to read the third.
Also, Deja Vu Ascension should qualify. And it's actually pretty good (like the DoOver options, and Jay's story.
And I believe Lucky Tickets. And the Lucky Jim series. those were good as well.

It would, as it begins when the MC is 13 and in the latest book he's in his mid-30s (and there is more to come).

I am going to throw one of mine in. Country Boy, City Girl.

It starts when the main character is 16, and he is in his mid-20's now and am still writing.
Try Oh Boy by Dual Writer.

Another classic that should not be missed is the two story series "Human" by Refusnik. The pair, Human Phoenix and Human Man, should fit the bill.

Banadin's Richard Jackson Saga. Currently only on Amazon, but he does post each installment here for a short time. Starting as 14 year old, the last installment had him a freshman at University and Banadin is still writing.
The Stupid Boy series by G.Younger is wrapping up the high school part of the MC's life and the University books are in progress.

Just finished Summer Camp. Very long. Good writing, but I believe the author could have taken the story in better directions.

"Summer Camp" seems to be reposting on SOL as "Summer Camp Swingers". What had been the first book, "Susan," now seems to be several books. I don't know whether it's rewritten at all. Nor do I understand the purpose of breaking up the first book into several books.
He is posting here then going to sell what was one book as several books on book apply & amazon. $$$$

At most very minor editing.
He is selling them for around $5 each. So breaking 1 story into 3 is more profitable.

It can be if they read as complete stories. If they read as a part story and not a full story that's part of a series, then all you do is get sales of the first book and a bunch of people who swear they'll never buy another book of yours.
Given the huge unanswered question in the first book, present from the first page of the story, I'm not sure even where he originally broke the story up would count as a 'complete story'.

Great universe (there are a number of side stories). Sadly, he's been on long-term hiatus (two years now) with no date to return, and the story is unfinished. :-(
Has it been that long. WOW oh well I guess the free time will let me catch up on 1 or 2 of your stories.
I have already read as far as it has gone. I even contacted bluedragon for a timeframe on when it will continue, unfortunately that is still up in the air.
