I recently shared a link to this book myself, but the esteemed audience on this forum managed to criticize it as well. By the way, I think my own book is much more interesting than this one. So, my conclusion is that people on the forum simply refuse to accept anything. If you, friends, consider yourselves true "revivers" of the Heroes series, why are you so hostile towards those who are actually doing something? Wouldn't it be better to just say: "Well done, keep it up" - I won't read it myself, because I'll just criticize it, since tra-ta-ta)?
In general, when it comes to creative works based on Heroes, the more they deviate from the plot of the Campaigns, the more interesting they become. I recommend "Archmage" - it is published in the literary bulletin of Heroes.
Regarding promotion - why not mention that the book is based on Heroes, if it really is? - those who disagree, I recommend reading my previous post. I'm too lazy to talk about the connection between the book and the game for the third or fifth time.
When I was writing the book, I thought that it would be interesting to fans of the game, but it turns out that it is much more interesting to those who are not big fans of Heroes. There is no point in trying to get the attention of those who are engaged in nonsense, just as there is no point in repeating the plot of the Campaigns.
And criticism in the style of "the character's level is not specified here" or "the plot of Heroes is not clearly conveyed" also has nothing to do with writing talent. The main thing is the ability to write and inspiration - if it exists.

In fact, this is a perfectly normal situation: ardent fans of the world, and therefore people who know it well, will almost always be able to find inconsistencies or discrepancies, while an outside reader will only evaluate the literary talent.

Probably, when the movie "The Lord of the Rings" came out, the fans were outraged.

Some were outraged, some weren't. Tolkien has a lot of fans in general. Some Russian RPG fans even made their own remake!

If a person writes, for example, a historical novel about medieval France, then they will read about this historical period. If a person writes a novel about a computer game, then they will learn about its lore; this is logical, isn't it? In the worst case, you can write that it is based on the game and you won't be so strictly bound by the canon.

Kobubu, perhaps your work will be better appreciated here: http://forum.df2.ru/index.php?act=idx

Interestingly, even those who aren't fans of the "Heroes" series rated the book highly, and some even started playing "Heroes of Might and Magic III" again after reading it.
