Hmm, to me the worlds draw me in as soon as my eyes hit the paper, I love the world building, the detailed description, it make the whole reading experience so much richer for me.

It's like Peter F Hamilton, his stories are insane in length but you almost feel like you experienced the book, and what it is like to live in that world.

I find hard to dive into contrived realities. A good story with hints of a larger complicated world in which it happens is in my opinion much more enjoyable than painstakingly describing everything.

    I do have that with fantasy, but with scifi I always feel like “Yeah if we progress enough this could become reality one day…”

      That's immersion and an author in love with their ideas tends to ruin that for me. It starts to feel like smarts porn.
