I read his summary it was filled with sentences like "Thus begins the War of the Rings to End All Wars of the Rings." It reeks of shitty fan fiction that should have lived out it's life in a lost corner of the internet with all the other shitty fan fiction out there. It could easily have stayed there until humanity wipes itself out and the last servers lose power. This troll had to go a poke the bear and sue the rights holders for plagiarizing him in a prequel show loosely based off of existing Tolkien works when his novels are sequels.
As for what has value and why only things that have value matter. I think value is provided if a work of art or piece of media make you feel something, think about something new, or maybe just let you escape for a bit. What does that is going to vary based on the individual. I'm pretty sure this book only provided value to the author.
