Stephen King once said authors who write "plots" in fiction are boring, instead the book should be all about character in order to make it more organic or believable , I guess.
So when world building is such a central topic to the genre what is the take away here?
PS: Stephen King killed this guy.

wow stephen you took care of that fucker.
no such thing as a mafia wink wink
I do like King's character development. He includes so much backstory to his characters but none of it feels forced or uninteresting. It all adds something.

>plot progression
pleb-tier concerns
oh shit, king mentioned the guy was dead in On Writing, I thought he was making a horror story joke

those are not the concerns, The concern is that in the fantasy genre a lot of writers map out entire worlds where accomplished writers say it's a red flag.
When you use green text to skim over anything substantive, that actually makes you the pleb.

world-building is characterization, of places included

okay, Captain-of-the-Bavarian-Illiterati, what are your elite patrician concerns when it comes to novels?
how many pictures there are?

>it's patrician to have graduated from comics to books without pictures
aim high
Stephen King is also full of shit.
On writing is a great book, but if you read King's books he basically throws his own rules out the window habitually.
More than likely he just said that while he had about 15 oxys in his system and it sounded kinda good.

That's probably true. An example of an author that did not follow this example is Stephen Erikson, he and his co-author filled in an entire world before they wrote any novels.
