He didn't invent anything; it's his own world of "The Lord of the Rings"... A brilliant phrase. Firstly, this world cannot be his own because Tolkien invented it. Secondly, yes, it's possible that he really didn't invent much because everything was invented by Tolkien, and Perumov only introduced a few creatures that he wanted to see there.

Perumov wrote a free expansion! And he added what he thought was missing in Tolkien! It's a matter of taste; those who like Tolkien should read Tolkien, and those who like Perumov should read him!

Yeah... it's very loosely based on a world he didn't even create himself. If John had said to him before he died, "Go ahead, write whatever you want about my world," I would understand, but not like this! It's the same as stealing an unpatented invention.

You're wrong here. The Lord of the Rings world wasn't changed; it was simply added to! This is a very common occurrence.

ANTIHRIST, hmm... I'll say it again – Poluumov shouldn't have disturbed the memory of the Professor. He did a GREAT job with the Ordered faction (Arcea and others grew out of it, etc.). But the Ring of Darkness is far-fetched. Although! Thanks to Perumov for the image of Olmer and the hunchback! And that hobbit, carrying out hordes of orcs... poor Professor! :

Moderators, please stop the off-topic chatter or move it to a separate thread.

The Antichrist, because there's no need to add anything else. Tengro said it right. Some hobbit is mowing down orcs by the dozens, and then, as if he has nothing better to do, he takes out their captain, who is definitely a better fighter. And I also liked what he said about mithril. What were those small creatures with large bows called? Hazgi, I think? Do they have a bow shot that sends a person flying several meters? And do you think impenetrable armor will save you from breaking all your bones? By the way, we need to remember that in Tolkien, it wasn't impenetrable at all, just very strong, but here... nothing penetrates it. I don't like how he added that, and besides, everything is clear right away. If the main characters are fighting someone, they will definitely win. Also, for example, in "The Wolfhound," although I admit that Perumov's sequel is several times better than "The Wolfhound" itself. Also in "The Witcher," but in "The Witcher," it's not always like that, and besides, everything is justified there, and besides, Perumov is very far from Sapkowski, not just far, but Perumov is simply not in the same league. Although, in principle, he is a pretty good writer.

Indeed, mithril is truly impenetrable, but in Tolkien's works, it didn't offer 100% protection (take the example of the Nazgûl – in Tolkien's world, you'd have a corpse in mithril chainmail:)).

And once again – gentlemen, let's move on to a different topic!

I won't argue about Perumov, although I like him too. The continuation is certainly debatable, but the images of Olmer and the hunchback are really well done! As for literature, we can certainly discuss it elsewhere. And I didn't mean to associate the werebears with Sauron; I just used them as an example to show that werewolves exist in The Lord of the Rings.
