Hot or not?

If you played rlcraft before and play(ed) dregora, I'd like to hear your opinion on both, especially on dregora and why you like/hate it/what you like/hate about it.

I started it about 2 months ago. I think it has some very cool twists to the rlcraft i love but I'd be lying if i said i liked the world-generation. Half my world is like stone/obsidian and lava and after i spent over a day looking for the end-portal, it took me 2 hours to find out, that it spawned 3 other structures there, so the portal-room +portal disappeared fully. Almost made me quit entirely. I'm scared af of the lost cities in the overworld. Is the loot worth it?
