Saga about rogue I recounted in stages (8)
I believe the answer is:
episodic
'recounted in stages' is the definition.
The answer and definition are not the same part of speech. However, past participle verbs and adjectives sometimes define each other.
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for episodic that I've seen before include "Sporadic" , "Occurring irregularly - is copied accordingly" , "Is copied in irregular occurrence" , "taken one piece at a time" , "piecemeal" .)
