You might like North Woods by Daniel Mason, which I read recently: https://www.amazon.co.uk/North-Woods-Daniel-Mason/dp/0593597036 . It's presented and sold as a novel, but in practice is a series of short stories each with its own protagonist, much like Cloud Atlas. The connecting factor is that all of the characters lived in the same house at different times, or had the house significantly affect their lives in some way. And there is an overall arc - which is almost inevitable, as today is created by the events of the past.
It seems to me that there's a difference between the Foundation books, which can somewhat plausibly be read as a series of novels, and I, Robot, which really can't be read as a novel. I'm not sure what it is that makes this so.
