We need a writing genre for lore slop
I'm not even saying this as a bad thing, like sometimes I really want to sit down with a book and it's nothing but the author explaining the deep intricacies of their world before we even get to read about the MC.
I'm weird, I usually put on a retrospective or deep lore video when I work. This year it was Monster Hunter and Final Fantasy. Last year I think it was Parasite Eve and Resident Evil. It's a niche thing but there is a genre for everything in the writing world, and I think for people like me who want to know the inner cavity of the story they're reading this could be interesting if nothing else.
