Plus one for Discworld. I also really like the way Gods, magic and interplanetary travel worked in the Raymond E Feist Universe (the main planet was midkemia?)
This is my answer as well. It’s not at all because the world [building] is so compelling – there are better (well, crunchier) books out there for that – but the recurring characters and settings and themes, make this series a total comfort to go back to every few years. It’s like a warm blanket.
Discworld - I just love stories from Terry Pratchet and there are lots of them (40 books).

Discworld is one of the few fantasy settings where it feels like the regular people have a chance & aren’t just cannon fodder.
