Most games don't have internal fictions of their own...

Examples of what I mean include the Skyrim books such as Lusty Argonian Maid, as well as the soap operas in FNaF

Does The Man Who Was Thursday in Deus Ex count? It was an actual novel, parts of which can be found on various datapads throughout the game.

Would Tobin's Spirit Guide count? It's a book that most people in the world of Ghostbusters would consider fictional.
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/2/8/1/AAQwHjAADD3p.jpg

The Daring Do novels in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Several of the books were actually written and published afterwards.

I want to say the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, though technically the title of the first book, it is a book within a book that we only get snippets from.

Nightmare Before Christmas is part of the Kingdom Hearts setting, it is not fictional within it.

Yes, fiction within fiction, not fiction about fiction. Although that does overlap at times.

Ya, I mostly was interested in material within a {game} that does not further the plot or do anything other than internalized world building.

So, as an example: Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy in the eponymous story isn't what I'm looking for since it directly moves the plot.

Itchy&Scratchy on The Simpsons is a good example, it serves only as internalized entertainment... except for the episodes specifically about it (like Poochy)

...

But I'm not here to gatekeep, I just like the world building stuff

So would say episode 56 of Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu be more in line with what you are asking for?

Most of the episode is an in-universe documentary about humanity's early colonization of space and eventually leaving earth.

sure, it's not fiction (in universe) - but serves wholly as world building ... ... probably, I haven't seen the episode or heard of the series, but that is in line based on your description
