Sometimes I think he just liked world-building, and writing stories about his world came second.

From reading his biography, it seemed he mostly liked creating languages and then crafted stories and worlds based off them.

Tolkien's the GOAT.

He was a philology teacher, so that's indeed the case. You see it with how much details the language have, like real languages dialects and evolution. It was really his craft.
