  1. Eh. If you like world building, that is their wheel house. Lots of great prompts for building a coherent world. Extremely easy to mess up. I forgot where I saw/read it, but you can have one big ask from a reader/viewer. Accepting Magic as a thing is often the biggest of asks in speculative fiction. People that don't normally read it, that's often an ask too far all on it's own. People that do love fantasy, it's basically a freebie. But the ask for them is usually, coherency. How much room you get depends on the sub-genre. This applies to Science Fiction as well. Faster than Light travel is pretty much required due to the insane distances between worlds. FTL is fantasy so far as we understand it today. Some people thread the needle with Bullshitium or Unobtainium or other made up something or another, but for the Hard Science Science Fiction sub-genre, FTL travel is their ask too far. They nope out faster than warp speed or a hop into jump space or a jump to ludicrous speed. But with all advice is writing, people will overlook issues in one area because they love some other aspect. Or the mood of the day says they'll forgive. If the system you have for magic or space flight or whatever is coherent and consistent, it settles into the background tapestry of the story you are weaving. If you are the opposite, the sleuths start picking at the threads of the tapestry questioning things... instead of following the story. A really excellent writer can use that. Or like Harry Potter, make it a plot point. No one has ever survived the killing curse.... except Harry. He broke the rules of magic for his world. Somehow. A few billion dollars later...
  2. Just yikes.
