Time spent with fiction when it's about some coherent body, be it a video game, book, tv series etc. Usually, the more time you spend with that coherent fictional body, the more immersed you become which means you can enjoy it more.

I think like a lot of things this is an S-curve - it takes a while to get into it before you enjoy your time the most, but eventually you start to get sick of it.
