Why didn't he make a better world, that works well for everything and everyone?

This will always circle. The most good world would be an unfree world, the best world is a free world, but which incorporates a neutral world and the possibility of evil. There are other conceptual problems with an exclusively good world (like the possibility of good without evil). In Daoism for example, the most Good world just wouldn't be possible without the negative aspects.

It's indeed hard to imagine what the best world would be like, but for God that shouldn't be a problem. I can definitely think of some (minor) things that he could have done better, without any possible negative consequences.

Actually, why did he even bother to create a world? Why doesn't he just let us into his paradise immediately?
