morals or not dark souls and berserk are clearly inspired by shakespeare's literature, mixing human drama, with strange beasts, brutality and fairy tales, tolkien's storytelling is obviously very different, tolkien was an autist nerd who wanted to create a detailed fantasy world with all it's conflicts, history, languages, people, etc, looking at it through his own lens as he experienced ww1 and industrialisation, ggrm is kind like of like a shitty mix of tolkien and shakespeare, obviously not as good as either of them, but he spends a lot of time with human drama while also wanting to make a detailed realistic fantasy world, when that kind of defeats the point, the point in shakespeare's human drama like in berserk and dark souls is that you don't really understand what's happening, there's witches, fairies, strange beasts, some wars going on somewhere, some kings doing something, but you're not quite sure what, you just know what happens in front of you, and what a head looks like when it's split in half in front of you, it's all a hazy dream of fragmented pictures, themes and memories like how people experience life, whille tolkien is writing a history book, and the characters only appear in it as long as they are heroes who need to appear in it, it's important why a war happens and when, between what parties, mixing the two just ends up being weird, it's human drama without the human component that shakespeare was expressing, and it's a history book of a fantasy world but just kind of a shitty one
