Stephen King’s “On Writing” has an illustration of the opposite approach to this style: being judicious in description and still creating a rich environment in the reader’s mind, with just enough of the important details.
It begins “Look - here’s a table covered with a red cloth.” https://www.google.ca/amp/s/mukundacharan.wordpress.com/2011/12/05/writing-as-telepathy/amp/ https://www.google.ca/amp/s/mukundacharan.wordpress.com/2011...
As someone like you who hates too much description, I’m comforted in the idea that judicious description is a skill to be appreciated.
