Jumping from one adventure to another

In my book series, Granderhill, I have been jumping from one journey to the another with in every chapter. It seems that the journey gets larger and larger each time a new volume comes out and the characters just take over the adventure. Now I have like four storylines going at once. Do you think readers will be interested in continuing reading a series where they jump back and forth from one to another journey from each chapter?

Yes....many stories have multiple story lines, and readers can follow them. Behind them all should be an overarching story, and all of them should tie into, and progress it, somehow.
 
I never read The Witcher series, but I watched the series and the premise is lots of mini adventures / quests with one main overarching storyline simmering in the background until it climaxes - probably why it was so successful as gameplay. Many other stories do this too I just cannot think of any.
