is there a limit to how much you can stuff into a story? I'm writing a series, likely 10 or more books, but that's not the issue. My story will have writing on nearly every aspect of the in universe civilization, from their sociology, politics, technology, to their fashion, hobbies, language, and more, at what point does it become "too much" or absolutely stuffed to the brim to the point of exhaustion or annoyance to the reader? As if the silmarillion was just mixed in to the LOTR without having a seperate dedicated book plus some random dedicated material on the politics of the shire and the science of the ring?

Or would this just be fine to the reader, and the book would simply be read by the people who enjoy that stuff no matter how much of every single aspect of the civilization was added?
