I don't know about other works but sci-fi and fantasy seem to be more of an "experience" thing to me. I might be retarded so let me know if so, please.

When you start out you either want the big pulpy shit or grandiose magic nukes and explained magic systems, basically what you'd expect from an RPG or D&D (if you dont play those things you at least like to be explained why the wizard can level a mountain no problem)

Then you start seeing the conventions, you realize the politics of elvenfuckcity could be explored a bit more, so you delve into the social commentary of the works, not necessarily bashing any ideology but seeing some sort of connections and why the magocratic theologic city of wizard would never fucking work in real life.

In the end, you become a jaded faggot who wants something different, you start to roll your eyes at the 30th time someone wants to teach you the words for a magic spell in "notLatin", and now you search something either completely post-modern and obfuscated, or you just attempt some unreliable narrator or post-modern commentary, which just makes you feel out of touch and feel like everything sci-fi/fantasy is shit now.
