There is a reason Martin never finished his books.
We are watching it. You can't finish the world he set up without leaving the subversive story telling of the early years and falling into several fantasy tropes. yes the show runners have made it more TV friendly this year but the fundamental issue is that we were watching a show that made its name on doing the opposite of what typical fantasy novels would do by killing off hero after hero and not servicing the fans desires.
To do that now Cersai needs to win then the white walkers role through the continent freezing everything. That's the Martin themed ending. King of the Ashes. Since Martin hasn't fimished his books it's pretty clear that he doesn't know how to finish it in a way that doesn't turn it into a regular fantasy trope.
It's not that the Books aren't written, it's that Martin doesn't know how to write a satisfying ending to his book. World building is more fun than world ending
