And autists like chris chan put their heart and soul into sonichu doesn't make it literature
> The book mirrors aspects of his personal experience with WW1, with tragedy, hardship, and bonding poured into it to craft arguably the best fantasy novel of all time, rivaled only by The Silmarillion. It disgusts me to see someone put down LOTR in such a way. It isn't some pumped-out corporate slop.
It is the defintion of corporate slop. Soulless, prosaic trite trash whose entire ethos is against the very epics it is trying to imitate.
>He is a man who came into this world to share his incredible and fantastical visions with the world, to bring us a feeling of relaxation and a break from the hardships of the world. He crafted an incredible narrative, formed multiple languages, wrote dozens of essays, calculated population charts, and carefully designed the progress of the worldbuilding over a near entire lifetime. Go read The Nature of Middle-Earth, and tell me he did that for corporate slop and greed. I fucking dare you. Read The Children of Hùrin, and try to tell me it is a less complex and emotional novel than any other acclaimed piece. Read The Lord of the Rings, not watch the movie adaptions, but actually read the book. Consider the careful worldbuilding that has gone into creating it. Look at how the cast of characters interact with each other, and the minutae of their influences and interactions and how it conveys a deep philosophical message across a vast variety of concepts and ideas. Read The Silmarillion, and come try to tell me that Tolkien wrote for greed.
Read some better literature. The Faerie Queene is an actual great epic. The lord of the rings is winnie the pooh LARPing as an epic
