  Summary

  Waking up in Middle Earth as a Modern Woman was always going to have its dangers and quirks. Typically, these kinds of stories also have the main character helping out the heroes and defeating the bad guys with her knowledge of the future. Maybe some power fantasy elements sprinkled in with mysterious powers and a future in governance.

  All of this is absolutely true for me as well, but someone decided to put the settings on NIGHTMARE mode or something.

  What use is knowledge of The Quest or The Company, if I get plopped down after everything is over? What is the use of human knowledge and experiences if I am an Orc? What is the point of diplomacy if everyone is just going to hate me once they get the vague shape of me in the distance?

  At least I am not alone. It could be worse, but not by much. And no, I am not going to explain thank you very much. Some things are better left unsaid.
