I actually like unique lore and worldbuilding but if it's too zany and takes up pages then it's annoying
One of my favorite Chinese .txt files is an elf forest where it's the daily life of an elf child. Very unique culture and social system, not just a generic 'kingdom but with pointy eared forest humans :0', actively having the protagonist engage in things like gathering fruit with other elf children, archery practice, helping out the village chief/elder maintain books, interacting with different elf villages, unique myths and legends, social relationships and structures, their attitude towards foreign relations and the individuals that manage them.
If you're going to use a generic setting to serve as a backdrop for an interesting story, then that's fine, butif you're going to do so then you definitely shouldn't pour pages of descriptory paragraphs into if its not an important part of the story. The stories I like the most are the ones that strive to make the setting interesting not just for the sake of novelty like 'oh yeah this is like that', but to interact with the protagonist or other characters in a meaningful way and guide their development.
