This is wrong though, Tolkien expressed strong discontent with the title the return of the King for the simple fact that it revealed that Aragorn would successfully ascend to King of Gondor and Arnor. This has been established in multiple interviews on the subject. He actually liked the Fellowship of the Ring, and were okay with the two towers because it only made sense after you read each of them, this he liked. But 'the Return of the King' was a spoiler title, which he was strongly opposed to. The length of the book had nothing to do with managing them, but the sales price, since paper after the war was very very expensive, so to keep the supply at a minimum, the book would also need to be prices significantly higher than what people could afford, for not to mention the stocks would be low, and production slow. So even if the book sold well they would have supply issues, if it sold poorly they would have liquidity issues. So it's not so much management but rather economy that forced his hand, in return for accepting the titles, Tolkien was given a rather lucrative deal, and only due to the merit of how well the Hobbit had performed. I'm the end he had to say yes because Tolkien himself needed the money. It's true that had he had his will the lord of the rings would have been a single book only with a compendium. Though the Silmarilion was deemed unpublishable because of the many styles of literature, as it contained both songs, poems, legends, and folklore-ish narration; in addition to a lot of characters and their relationship, and specificity of actions and accuracy. Which is why that book is also rather difficult to read over too many sittings. For these reasons the book was repeatedly rejected and it took some editing from Christopher Tolkien and a new editor at the publisher, Goodwill of the Lord of the Rings, and several decades to warm up the publisher. The final push was the fact that the Tolkien Estate had been persistent enough and carried the risks.

No, these arguments just tells me you either haven't got a hold of the full list of non-filler episodes you think is filler, haven't read TBC and therefore miss relevant elaboration from the anime, failed to read that Boruto NNG was PRIMARILY an Anime with a manga shortened version, or simply hasn't understood that the anime never ended it went on hiatus because of Internal studio production issues, due to animation quality standard, not anime standards. I got loads of more things to say, but it would fall on depth ears. All there's left is the fact that The anime works very well I. The overall pacing and it ends prematurely about 2 episodes too early that is. The Anime grew and even 90% of the haters came around and itted that it turned into a quite enjoyable series, which again finally leads me to the conclusion, that either you haven't actually seen it, or you are in a very very tiny minority of people who couldn't understand it, or actually just dislike the story.

It's not going to take years. I managed a catch-up with the anime in just under 10 months. Even if we consider I had the option to marathon for full days once in a while, I also had close to 2 months where I saw no episodes, and even then if we add a discount of 100% it's still falls short of 19 months which in years is still less than 2 years, making it not years, but almost. And I'm not just caught up with the Anime I'm caught up with the manga too. It's totally possible to do as an adult with responsibilities.
