Lord of the Rings vs. Ring of Darkness

Try reading it, I couldn't, although I rarely abandon what I've started. And isn't "The Wanderings of the Mage" part of some series, at least in the sense that the Necromancer Fess is there?

“The Wanderings of the Mage” is part of some series, but that doesn't mean there should be a complicated plot (I meant a complicated plot in the sense that the cycle combines several book series into one, and if you follow the individual plots, there are unexpected twists; if there were such twists in each book of the Perumov series, he would be not just a good writer, but an excellent one).

I've never seen bison, but I've read a lot about them, and I'll be hunting them. Something like that?

Absolutely not. I've never seen an Amur leopard, but I've read a lot about it and know that it's endangered. If I started discussing with you the intricacies of creating an RPG in the conditions of the Moscow region, without ever participating in it, I would be wrong, and I'm just drawing certain trends that are not so difficult to identify.

You used the word "dispute," not "competition." This is called misinformation, or simply, babble. It's interesting how this competition looked, and who participated in it.

If you're interested, read it in full; the 3rd post convincingly proves that this is not empty babble, but a discussion with a hint of objectivity.

There are several things that I really understand. Logic is one of them. So, there's very little logic in Nienna's work. And if you haven't noticed this, then you're either not very demanding, or you're not friends with logic at all.
I'll also answer about the rhetorical devices. This style of writing is over 500 years old; it developed in women's novels back in the Renaissance era and has never been an example of beautiful language, because it lacks naturalness and aesthetics. It's just the absence of deep meaning draped in the pomp of phrases.

The ability to present the main negative character as the main positive one requires a certain skill; yes, there are some inconsistencies, but they are not very noticeable.
The pomp of phrases – well, yes, I like beautiful expressions.

I remind you once again that I am not a big fan of Nienna and Perumov, and I suggest ending the discussion, because the interesting arguments have been exhausted, and it's just nitpicking.
