Plot and character are in some ways the commodity elements of fiction, and how-to books spend 90% of their words on those. But good genre fiction usually seems to center a non-basic element: LOTR: fake languages Culture: names of ships Star Trek: species This seems important.

Asimov also has an Encyclopedia Galactica and I actually wrote once a pastiche of that, it was fun!

i can recommend an extremely good German YA book that has a fake encyclopedia. i guess similar to the hitchhiker's guide but i actually liked that German book better. it had more charme and genuineness, hitchhiker is all just ironic shitposting.
