>LOTR is about white anglos defending their lands against dark invaders
>Even Reddit loves it
Is there any fantasy lit that comes close to being as based as Lord Of The Rings?

Nah, beady eyed anglos would have sided with Sauron like the industrial revolution loving, money grubbing snakes they are.

It's only the Anglo elite who are bad. At their worst, the Anglo plebs are just docile but that's not really unique.
The same can't be said for countries like China where the plebs are probably more sadistic than the elite.

False analogy. They demonstrably did NOT side with Sauron during the Napoleonic Wars, during WW1, and during WW2.

Why don't you just say English? You know. Speaking like someone that isn't an autistic freak.

Wrong! The Anglos sided with evil each time so "there would be no single power in western Europe."

>Side with derelict monarchies who were only just then freeing the serfs during the Napoleonic wars.

>Create such an unstable peace that it will not last after WWI.

>Side with the commies who killed the british royals kinfolks in russia just so Germany couldn't become a rival.

Anglos are Orcs, on gang.

>The Worm Ouroboros is a heroic high fantasy novel by English writer E. R. Eddison, first published in 1922. The book describes the protracted war between the domineering King Gorice of Witchland and the Lords of Demonland in an imaginary world that appears mainly medieval and partly reminiscent of Norse sagas. The work is slightly related to Eddison's later Zimiamvian Trilogy, and collectively they are sometimes referred to as the Zimiamvian series.

Just downloaded these two and skimmed the first few pages of each.

New Sun
>My memory is perfect but I'm going to describe things as poorly as possible while frequently going on tangents.

Ouroboros
>Get in the flying chariot, loser. We're going to Mercury for the Demon King's Birthday party.

I'm sure I'll finish both, but The Worm Ouroboros is already a clear favorite.

Fun fact, Frodo was actually never described to be white/have pale skin.

As far as lore is concerned, he could very well be a POC :)
