The Lone One in my world was vindictive on a person level and on a racial level. He hated the Elves and he hated mortals as well, since our Creator God, Eru, had made both, and our lesser gods, the Valar, loved them and wanted the best for them. Morgoth could not bear that idea, and he strove to destroy as many of both races as possible.

I'll go along with that. Any genre can be well-written, and is therefore worth reading. Luckily, in my world we didn't have literary critics as professionals. We only had sages who mentioned literary works in their writings, and of course they didn't do it for money, so they had no stake in the game. If one of them recommended a book, it was probably well worth reading. Of course, we didn't have detective mysteries. [ Chuckle. ]
