What I got from this is
it's a standard kind of Dying Earth setting for the first book, then in the second book the collision of the insectoid and human world-assertions damages the fabric of reality, such that in each of the versions of Viriconium that follow we're seeing iterations of the timeline as it breaks down, losing a little bit of magic and wonder each time as some vital essence is lost. Until you finally get to A Young Man's Journey To Viriconium, by which stage reality has degraded so far and lost so much energy and vibrancy that it is just our mundane world.
Am I wrong? I fucking hope so because I find this very depressing.
