Wizards of the Coast, Star Trek, Star Wars, Marvel, and DC have literally encyclopedic worldbuilding. Their literary output is very hit or miss (mostly miss if we're going to be honest).

And in contrast, you have Lord of the Rings, with bad horses, bad economics, bad politics, deliberate anachronisms, multiple self-inserts, and explicitly unreliable narrators and translators, but is a good novel in spite of it.

Wait, multiple self-inserts? What's this now?

It's pretty well understood that Beren and Luthien are idealized Mr. and Mrs. Tolkien. And Lord of the Rings includes an extended introduction loaded with fourth-wall winking about how he's the "translator" of the Red Book and took multiple liberties with Bilbo and Frodo's stories to make a better novel.
