Mistborn series by Brandon Sanderson should be expanded to the entire Cosmere, not just Mistborn. Several other book series in the same universe, and all are very good IMO, e.g. Stormlight Archive, Elantris, and my favorite, Warbreaker.
He has Way of Kings on there as a separate listing, so he's not ignoring the rest of the cosmere
Granted, it's generally a weak list. Night Angel was hot garbage, and eclipsed by Weeks own later series lightbringer even in spite of it's terrible last portion.
Night Angel is maybe the oddest choice on that list. I don't think it's hot garbage, but Lightbringer is much better, though probably also doesn't deserve to be on the list unless we're talking hard magic systems. If the author needs an assassin book.... well I think there's no shortage of those in the genre.
