Re: Is worldbuilding pointless?

Whether you appreciate or enjoy a work of fiction is entirely subjective... but does that necessarily make the work "quality"? Clearly a lot of people like Kevin J Anderson, but I'm in the middle of Sandworms of Dune and it's painfully bad. It shows a paucity of imagination, an excess of cliches, a lack of characterisation, and a tin ear.
