I feel as if you might be taking fiction only at face value. I read mostly fiction for the allegory. Most authors have something impactful to say hiding right beneath the surface. Many authors I find especially sci Fi authors don't bother hiding it much at all. Some examples of this are 1984, A Brave New World, and Fahrenheit 451. All of which I strongly suggest you to read if you haven't. Look beyond the unreal story friend and search for the authors purpose

I also must confess I do enjoy also using fiction as an escape. Reality kind of sucks sometimes and I'd rather be somewhere else if just for an hour or two, but to each thier own I hope you find books you value and enjoy reading
