The world building is basically "have you played D&D?" It's really wasn't an issue because that wasn't what the initial premise of the story is about. But the more focus they put on the world, the more obvious it is that little thought was put into it. If you're not familiar with any of that, then the world is very lifeless, with not much explained. Elves and dwarves have long life spans just because. Labyrinths and Dungeons exist in the world for no other reason than to be explored by adventurers. etc. Other stories that lift their world building from D&D have this problem too, but at least try to put their own twist on it. I guess it's just a bit distracting to me that Frieren doesn't even try.
