Let's say I want to improve myself as a person, how is reading non-fiction not more beneficial to me than reading gay werewolf erotica? I get that you can get the same narrative in both, but one actually happened and has better lessons out of it, no?

neither are inherently more beneficial.

you can 'learn' anything in any genre. all things have their roots in reality. if you took a non-fiction book and swapped people's names, it won't change the lesson. even some fiction books will try to teach you a lesson that can be grounded in reality. dune for example can be interpreted as a lesson in the dangers of blind faith.
