Honestly, at 8 I had read LotR, so Eragon held a little less interest for me. Then, when I wanted to read it again, our local library didn’t have it. So I had to wait until I was 13 to read it. Still haven’t finished the series yet, but I’m looking into finishing it.

I also read LotR before Eragon I found both good series

I lowkey hate LotR; Tolkien is kinda bad at writing. Great worldbuilder, though.

Kinda my feelings on WoT... I really had to force myself through book 4. It was such a fever dream...

wow...

I'm a LotR lover. I used to hate WoT, I did on the first read, but then I reread it once I'd read more stuff and was like "yoooo this is actually awesome." Though, I did eventually stop reading it, but that had nothing to do with the prose, the world building, characters, etc. It is a shock though from other fantasy books, I find the. characters way more realistic in WoT than in other places. Nyneave was so annoying in the first read of the first five, then I read it again and was like "Yo, Nyneave is actually awesome." Though, they do need a slap in the face now and then... specially Rand, Nyneave, Moraine and Faile (not to diss any of them, they're my fave characters in the series, plus my boy Perrin). 

For LotR... I get that, it's not as modern in language and I had a hard time reading it fairly recently, but I think it was kinda a phase for me. I recommend you give it a try after awhile, but then again you didn't like WoT so... idk if you'll ever like it, my friend.
