I just saw the notification—this book would be going premium tomorrow, probably around noon. I'd do my best to post more over the next few days.
I could make a promise here: no matter how the results turned out or how it was reviewed, I would finish this book and give everyone an ending.
About this book:
The original inspiration came from an MC The Lord of the Rings mod. The mod's author was notoriously slow; after waiting several years without seeing even the slightest sign of an update, I was finally driven to start writing my own story about a Block Wizard adventuring through Middle-earth, just to satisfy my imagination. But I had a feeling that even by the time this book was finished, that mod author might still not have updated it. All I could do was hope I'd get to play the updated The Lord of the Rings mod within my lifetime.
Honestly, when I first started this book, I never imagined I'd receive support from so many readers. I originally thought that as long as there were still people reading by the end, that would already be pretty good. Now, I felt incredibly honored.
To be honest, The Lord of the Rings was a difficult subject to write. Tolkien's worldbuilding was simply too complete, and there wasn't all that much room to maneuver. After all, the Great Music existed. Change too much, and you'd invite divine punishment; change too little, and there would be nothing worth reading. Change a lot without inviting divine punishment, though, and it wouldn't fit the worldbuilding—then the readers would punish you instead.
So whenever my hands touched the keyboard, I never dared close the Middle-earth wiki or all sorts of encyclopedia videos. A map of Middle-earth was also a permanent fixture
