i'm weirdly the opposite. i don't give them much thought and don't know why they're so common. are you guys like, going back and referencing it a lot as you read the book? does it really help with the storytelling?

[(Anonymous)]

It helps me immerse in the world. And it tells me the author has actually thought about it and makes it easier for me to buy how this particular world works.

I never refer back to them either. Not in fantasy and not in other books they sometimes show up in. If a character says "Whateverplace is five days ride to the east of Someotherplace" I'm good. But I don't read high fantasy very much and I guess it shows.

For me it depends on how complex the world is and how much the MCs are traveling. And since I mainly read on my kindle, I track down a copy of the map online and print it (or them; many have multiple maps) so I don’t have to bookmark and skip around so much.

But I love maps and am always looking at map apps on my phone the way some people watch YouTube or read Wikipedia.

I reference them all the time. It helps a ton with visualization.

I reference the game map a lot when reading Witcher fanfic.

I like maps because it helps me visualize where various kingdoms are, what route(s) peoples' journeys are taking, what the landscape might look like as they're passing through it, etc. In a case like, say, Game of Thrones, it helps because all the political stuff is tied in to various kingdoms and where they're located is significant.

1. I just really like maps.
2. I have shit visualization and whenever they talk about travel or directions or territories etc I like to have a reference.

Yeah, I'm the same. Unless it's a story where the characters are doing a lot of traveling and having a map is useful to gauge where/how far they're going, I don't ever give it much thought either.
