Been working with the setting of the two comics lately with Cali. Especially when we mixed it with history, to the point we pulling off a HBO Rome at times, with the mage schumcks getting caught up in a couple of things.
Some of the few things included my mage thief protagonist, Analytical, accidentally giving inspirations for the famous "Mens et Manus" MIT motto. Then there's the filling the historical gaps during the probation in Massachusetts. Let's not even start about Antinous, who was a major figure in the setting.
But anyways, world building is quite difficult, but a very rewarding experience. Which is the biggest reason why I'm not coming back to fan fic writing these days, as I felt my creative endeavours are VERY restraining due to being confined in someone else's playground. Even more so when that particular fan fiction setting had certain parts of the lore that were very... wonky I should say.
Like......... Age of Sigmar for instance.

Why write fanfiction when you can craft your own unique universe through creativity and toil?

World-building is hard as shit, tho. It's not just a world you have to craft, but pretty much everything that molds it. People, religion, food, history, culture, the works.

Especially if you made the whole universe from scratch.

Solid world building is good though, not just from a setting standpoint. It can also serve as a foundation for your characters that go beyond generic archetypes. A detailed world, even if you don't info dump it on your readers, can make coming up with well-rounded characters very organic.

That's true, considering the recent edits I made to the script. It also helps to nail down some of the more tricky twist and turns with dozen of plotlines in the narrative sort of thing later on.
