Why is this work called a "book about Heroes" in the first post, when it has nothing to do with the plot of the "Heroes" game?

Silly remark. Why is "Pirates of the Caribbean" a film based on the game "Pirates of the Caribbean" when there's nothing in common in terms of plot? There are millions of such examples. There's already a book about the heroes with a plot based on the campaign from "Heroes of Might and Magic," and it's actually quite good. http://rtf.gramotey.com/rtf/raznoe/www.gramotey.com_geroi_mecha_i_magii.zip Here it is. My "Stormhold," like "Pirates," only took the world of the computer game as a basis. If you want to read the plot of "Heroes," play the campaign or read the book at the link. If you still don't plan to read anything and just want to chat, then it's better not to waste my time with pointless chatter.

"Pirates" is not based on any games, lol.

That’s exactly it – the book has nothing to do with this world. Therefore, it’s incorrect to call it a “book about Heroes.”

The book at the link also has nothing to do with the plot of Heroes, except for the name "Lord Kilbour".

"A book about heroes" is a general title, simply indicating a connection to the Heroes of Might and Magic III game. This title would be suitable for the annotation, but a different title should be used on the cover (for example, something related to Stronghold). For instance, "How I Became a True General of Erathia" could be a specific book about Heroes – it tells the story of completing one of the campaigns in a fictionalized form. However, if the plot and walkthrough of the campaign can be contained in 3 pages, the book contains over 300 pages. It's a pity that I couldn't find it as a single file. And Stronghold is a perfectly normal book, simply related to the Heroes theme.

Exactly, this book has no connection to Heroes of Might and Magic III in terms of its content. What’s the point of associating it with the Heroes series then?

For promotional purposes, no one will even bother looking at a random book. But when it comes to the heroes, that's a different story!

Not at all. Do you people even know what a "fandom" is, if I may ask? What about the concept of an "Original Character"? Have you ever even been to websites where fanfiction is published? Not just specialized ones, but even places like Hugo Corner, where several authors clearly write fanfiction that isn't strongly tied to the original plot.
Ashan or the Might and Magic universe isn't just about the main characters from the campaigns; it's about millions of other stories unfolding in parallel with the game's plot.

Dear Julian, I mentioned fan fiction at the beginning of this thread. Here, according to the author himself, there is no connection to Enroth; the book is merely inspired by the game, but not by its world. As you can see, if you look at my earlier posts in the thread, I suggested that the person familiarize himself with Enroth, but he refused. The author himself stated that this book has nothing to do with the "Might and Magic" universe. So, your words about fan fiction are inappropriate.

I apologize, I didn't delve deeply into reading the topic. Well, if the author is indeed not writing about the game's world, then the words "book about the heroes" are definitely inappropriate.
Sincerely.

My first account was blocked (possibly temporarily), so I registered a second one. I'm replying to everyone at once:
This is a book about the world of the computer game "Heroes of Might and Magic," the third part. By the world of heroes, I mean the creatures of the game, items, artifacts, and magic. It describes what life might be like in one of the game's castles – a snowy one with Nagas and Mages. I think this is much more interesting than simply retelling the campaign. My book focuses more on dialogues, intrigues within the castle, and a plot in which creatures from other castles and beyond eventually appear. The plot is not directly related to the Heroes campaign, but it is connected to the heroes in that it is only possible in the world of the computer game.
And no one should lie and say that the book is not related to the game. Honestly, I don't understand what your goal is, my dear friend? You're never going to read my book, even if everyone around you is talking about it. That's your business.
By the way, I've played Heroes II, III, IV, and V. And I've completed Might and Magic VI, VII, and even VIII while I was still in school.
I don't think I'll be writing here anymore – it's a complete waste of time – I'd like to hear feedback from those who have read the book (not just a couple of paragraphs with the aim of finding phrases they don't like)

Dear author, your effort is certainly commendable (although the book is only remotely related to the heroes), but you cannot link the plot of the book to the game mechanics of Heroes 3! The following phrase simply killed me:
even a volume of magic of the first level of any school.
If you enjoyed using the game mechanics in the book so much, why didn't you write what level the main character is? :D

Firstly, you can write anything – just read other works about the game, and you'll find a lot of interesting things there. Secondly, the character whose perspective the story is told from is not a hero, and not even a mage yet; in Heroes, there are no divisions beyond Mage and Archmage for heroes. But your comment is interesting, and I will keep it in mind.

A book that has nothing to do with the plot of the heroes, not based on the heroes, except for some stylistic elements, is called a book about the heroes? Yes, that's very logical. Indeed, a simple fantasy novel will get lost in the vastness of self-publishing, but a book about the heroes will be read! Typical hype... He could have simply called it "based on" and not mislead people.

And by the way, criticism in the style of "you won't read it anyway, or if you don't like it, don't read it" doesn't contribute to the development of any writing or social skills.

By the way, there's a good book based on Heroes 1-2 here: http://www.gramotey.com/books/40119477504517.htm
