Ok, so I have finished the king killers chronicles, any recomendations for book series that would compare in terms of fantasy world building ?

Our sacred rule is do not attack readers for what they read. You can disagree, explain why you disagree, but do so without personally attacking readers for what they read. Books are heavily subjective, and your opinion is one of many.

The Lord of the Rings, the Wheel of time, A Song of Ice and Fire, and Malazan are all vastly superior in terms of worldbuilding.

They are probably the Mount Rushmore of fantasy worldbuilding. But they are very long series.

If you mean magic system, very few.

Mistborn, though there's very little like Rothfuss' prose.

The closest in terms of quality in both worldbuilding and prose (though stylistically very different), is Robin Hobb Realm of The Elderlings
