I have things that I can confidently call conworlds going back to my middle school days in the late 90s.

My current Lonely Galaxy setting is a rework of an earlier project I called variously The Last Grand Adventure or En after the in-universe name of the world. It has roots going back to my freshman year of college in the early 2000s.

I conworld mainly as a means of escapism. My current conworld was born out of a time of extreme stress. I couldn't handle the real world, so I retreated into my own. Perhaps not the most healthy way to cope, but eh.

My supers setting was standard capeshit. Then it evolved into something along the lines of The Boys meets Game of Thrones. I think of it as 'late stage superheroes'
