LoEG becomes a fascinating look at fiction itself once we're past the first volume or so. What is the nature of fiction? How and why does it change over time? What does its evolution say about the audience and the changing perception of women and minorities? How does the medium affect the message? What happens to the trope of the comic book superhero group if it's transported outside its niche?
I agree -- and CENTURY is even more fascinating as it shows us our changing world through the lense of the fiction we create.
