I like the dungeons and dragons lore because alot of it reminds me of books and stories from what is most likely my favourite author of all time: Jack Vance.
Which is entirely unsurprising because the original D&D borrowed a whole lot of ideas from him. Like the Vancian magic system in previous editions.
Now if you know Vance, his books weren't serious, nor ridiculous. I would describe them as whimsical and sarcastic, and so far that's exactly what this game is being for me. So love it personally.
