: Successful IPs often span multiple media—such as The Witcher 's transition from novels to games and Netflix series—integrating character diaries and lore videos to deepen the user's connection to the world.

Modern world-building is no longer confined to books; it has become a central "narrative wrapper" for various media:

: While ancient worlds like those in The Odyssey provided limited geographical or societal detail, modern worlds like J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle-earth or Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece utilize paratextual devices—such as maps, glossaries, and bestiaries—to create a "pluriverse" that feels physically and logically consistent.

: Creators progressively refine their craft to maximize audience engagement, leading to "sweeter spots" of imaginative detail—similar to how the features of teddy bears or fictional monsters have been exaggerated over time to trigger specific psychological responses.

: Authors increasingly "bend" the laws of physics, biology, and culture to create secondary worlds that offer entirely different environmental and cosmic settings from our own. Why We Build Worlds
