The reason why "world building" isnt map making and all that stuff is because creating a world can be as simple as a single room. Where it is, why its there, all that stuff that are involved in map making, etc, are irrelevant. World building is part of character buildilng. Plot, and basically falls in between all the writing gaps. But world building is what you see. Its the story itself. Its how people talk. The accents. The suns in the sky. The type of weather. Proper world building means "proper storytelling". Worldbuilding is the LAST thing and its made by the writing or drawing. An example is in the movie Sicario, the world building is "The FBI is good, trying to stop crime. Women can be lead in special ops, the CIA cant work without the FBI. The cartel fights each other." Things like that. But that is regular storytelling. What makes it world building is the fact that we never know WHERE the charaters actually are but we just go along and it feels natural. Like everything is where it belongs. Like youre building a world. Worldbuilding is a type of storytelling. Its usually seen in things that provide a lot of details so that you get more than "action and dialogue" in your story. Xmen doesnt have much world building because we already know "mutants are hated, xavier has a school of them, they team up and fight bad guys, sometimes mutants are evil" and thats it. Now its about fighting a guy and talking about it. But if it was new, we would be finding out about weapon X, x23 and the cloning projects. How Cyclops got his visor. How Jean and Phoenix relate. How Colosus is Russian and how his life was there and how the russians view him as opposed to the americans. The reason why older artists disregard young ones talking about "world building" its because a lot of young ones think world building as map making and telling instead of just showing. What a faken rant.

Thanks so much for this detailed response. It helps me to better understand the concept of world building. I appreciate it. 😊

The reason why evs over praised it is because he just didn't want Lium to give up as his previous books didn't do well either. So, evs just went overboard with praising as an encouragement. And also, to push others to buy the book. This kind of errors that has good intention can be excused.
