An odd world, with odd characters, and an odd sense of humour, though oddly this all works. For instance, in this world, the logic we know has been thrown out the window, and is considered illogical, like harnessing the power of lightning, aka electricity. In some ways Rincewind is more like us, and is therefore an apt narrator for us to follow, as he represents the viewer, and questions things like the viewer would. Rincewind's attempts to figure out words are funny, and technically incorrect, and yet are blunt realities of what they describe. This author is unbelievably good at stringing together random coincidences, in most books they would be frowned upon, but considering the nature of this odd world, they turn out humourous.
