Actually, I was referring to the portion of the story that did not involve Frodo at all - Rohan, Isengard, Fangorn, Gondor... you know, like a good 1/2 of the whole story, if not more. If LOTR was too long for you, let's try something more recent and shorter, let's say... Fate/Zero, which according to your logic must also be super-watered down as well, since a good chunk of the story had nothing to do with Saber/Kiritsugu either.
Epic Gilgamesh vs Super Bro Iskandar? tsk, nothing more than mere distraction right?
TBH, it sounds to me like you just want things to be as simple as possible.
