Hey Tinman. The important thing to me as a reader is that an author tells a complete and compelling story. World building is pretty secondary tbh. You as the author should have a good idea of the history, geography etc of the world of your story, but ultimately the only exposition that shows up on the page should support the main thrust of your narrative. Too many fantasy and sci fi stories get lost in world building and neglect the simple stuff. Good luck and have fun writing!
