The Elf King & I [Book #1]

The Elf King & I [Book #1]

"What happens when you meet a tall and handsome elf king who has saved your life but kill your temper?" ~*~*~*~ "I'm more of a man in this house. Why can't you let me be on top?" Sean asked with a pout. Oswin groaned, rolling his eyes and wondering just how much more innocent Sean could be. "It takes a heavy responsibility to be the top," he replied. "Responsibility? Then it's perfect. I'm making more money, cooking,..." "Sean. I'm talking about things like stretching and penetrating," Oswin explained as he ignored the bulge in his pants. "Do you even have experience?” “Then teach me, your majesty.” “With pleasure.” ~*~*~*~ It all starts when the elf king, Oswin Alvingham, mysteriously gets stuck in the human realm and loses his powers. As he roams the unfamiliar一dirty and low class if he is to describe Earth, he stumbles into Sean Cooper, a fresh graduate, and a full-time table-waiter, who gets bullied in the alley. Though Oswin's magical power is lost, his physical strength remains invincible. When he rescues Sean, the latter decides to take him in as gratitude. And that is where the mess begins. How can the king of the elf cope with his new life? How can Sean convince himself not to be evil enough to kick his savor out of his house? Most importantly, how do an average mortal and the noble upper-class immortal live together under the same roof and on the same bed? ~*~*~*~* P.S: 1) This book contains mature and explicit 18+ scenes. 2) It also contains little graphic violence in some chapters, but I'll put a warning on the top of those chapters. 3) The ELF here is inspired by Lord of The Ring Series. Therefore, they are tall, slender and beautiful. Not tiny little beings like in children fairy tales.]

The movies have confused some people about the structure. 'The Lord of the Rings' is one novel, often published in three volumes. It's not a trilogy in the modern sense of three separate stories. So the order is Volume I, Volume II, Volume III. Think of it like a classic novel published in parts, not three standalone books.

If you're diving into Middle-earth for the first time, I'd absolutely recommend starting with 'The Hobbit'—it’s lighter, more whimsical, and sets up the world beautifully. After that, jump into 'The Fellowship of the Ring', which kicks off the epic trilogy. Some folks argue you can skip 'The Hobbit' if you’re strapped for time, but honestly, it adds so much context to Bilbo’s role and the One Ring’s history. The trilogy itself should be read in order: 'The Two Towers' after 'Fellowship', then 'The Return of the King'. Tolkien’s writing is dense but immersive; take your time with it.

Now, if you’re really committed, there’s 'The Silmarillion', but that’s like graduate-level Tolkien—mythopoeic and packed with lore. Save it for after the main books unless you’re a lore junkie. I tried reading it first once and got lost in the genealogy charts. Bonus round: 'Unfinished Tales' and the 'History of Middle-earth' series are for die-hards who want every scrap of worldbuilding. Personally, I think the sweet spot is 'The Hobbit' → trilogy → 'Silmarillion' if you’re still hungry for more.

The Lord of the Rings series is one of those epic journeys that feels like a rite of passage for fantasy lovers. The correct order starts with 'The Fellowship of the Ring', where we meet Frodo and the gang, and the whole adventure kicks off with the discovery of the One Ring. This book sets the tone—mystical, grand, and packed with lore. Next comes 'The Two Towers', which splits the narrative between Frodo and Sam’s trek to Mordor and the rest of the crew’s battles against Saruman’s forces. The pacing here is intense, and the stakes feel higher with every chapter. Finally, 'The Return of the King' wraps it all up with monumental battles, emotional farewells, and that bittersweet ending that leaves you staring at the last page for ages.

Some folks debate whether 'The Hobbit' should be read first since it’s a prequel, but honestly, it’s not essential for understanding the main trilogy. It’s lighter in tone, almost like a fairy tale compared to LOTR’s darker, more complex vibe. And then there’s 'The Silmarillion'—J.R.R. Tolkien’s deep dive into Middle-earth’s mythology. It’s fascinating, but it reads more like a history textbook than a novel. I’d save it for after you’re already hooked on the world. The main trilogy’s order is non-negotiable, though; out of order, and you’d be utterly lost!

My two cents: It's Fellowship, Towers, Return. Think of 'The Hobbit' as a standalone. It was written first, but LOTR wasn't conceived as a direct sequel; it grew into one. So you can really start with either. I started with Fellowship and didn't feel lost. When I later read 'The Hobbit', it was a charming origin story for the Ring and Bilbo's character.

Tolkien published 'The Hobbit' in 1937, then the 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy in the mid-1950s. So the publication order is 'The Hobbit', then 'Fellowship', 'Two Towers', and 'Return of the King'. That's the classic way millions first experienced the story. The writing style shifts noticeably between them—'The Hobbit' feels more like a bedtime story, while the trilogy is this dense, historical epic.

Starting with publication order lets you appreciate that evolution. It's how the author intended the world to be revealed, I'd argue.

Okay, let's untangle this. So, you've got 'The Hobbit' which is obviously the very gentle, almost bedtime-story prologue. After that, it's the big trilogy: 'The Fellowship of the Ring', 'The Two Towers', and 'The Return of the King'. That's the core journey.

But here's where people get tripped up—the appendices in 'Return of the King'. Seriously, don't skip them. They're not just dry footnotes; they've got the whole saga of Aragorn and Arwen, the fall of the kings of Gondor, and a ton of backstory that makes the ending hit way harder. I made that mistake on my first read and felt like I'd missed half the epilogue.

Then, if you're still hooked, you can dive into the deeper lore with 'The Silmarillion'. That one's a whole different beast, more like reading a mythological history textbook, but it explains where everything—from the Valar to Sauron—came from.

The journey through Middle-earth began with 'The Fellowship of the Ring' in 1954, and what a start it was! Tolkien’s world-building felt like stepping into a lush, ancient forest where every tree had a story. The sequel, 'The Two Towers,' dropped later that same year, splitting the narrative into this thrilling dual perspective that kept me glued to the pages. By the time 'The Return of the King' arrived in 1955, I was emotionally invested in every hobbit, elf, and dwarf. It’s wild to think these books are nearly 70 years old—they still hold up like they were written yesterday. The way Tolkien weaves myth and language together makes rereads feel like uncovering hidden treasure.

Fun fact: I once tried reading the trilogy backwards (just to be quirky), and let’s say the Balrog scene loses some impact when you already know Gandalf’s fate. The appendices in 'Return of the King' are their own rabbit hole—I spent weeks geeking out over dwarf genealogies and the intricacies of Sindarin. If you ever meet someone who claims they’ve 'only watched the movies,' gently push these books into their hands. The Barrow-downs chapter alone, which didn’t make it into the films, is worth the price of admission.

My two cents: The 'chronological order' obsession can suck the joy out of a first encounter. Tolkien didn't intend for new readers to start with the creation myth. He intended them to start in the Shire, with a birthday party. Trust the author's published sequence.
