A problem with novels that constitute large imaginary worlds is you can’t just read the “best” ones. You have to read some bad ones to grok the gestalt of the world so you can enjoy the best ones. Writters of good worlds seem to hit a useful mediocrity in all individual books

A good hack seems to be building subworlds and connecting them up with either sequencing glue or crossovers. Asimov glued together robots/lije bailey/empire/foundation in late stage novels. Pratchett has crossover characters forming weak links across sequences. Star Trek too.
