more fluff or useless descriptions

Such as? Try and find a "useless description" in Tolkien: there's always a reason for description - it helps to define and describe events, people, places, etc.
Cut the descriptive parts out of any book, and you'll end up with a fast-paced, lean, sparse story, which is about as interesting to read as a telephone directory.
If you don't want descriptions in a book, read Martin Amis or Monica Ali: don't bother reading fantasy or SF - by its very nature, it's going to need information about differences between that world and ours, and
that means descriptive prose.
