GRRM and Tolkien have fundamentally different ideas about what the fantasy genre is supposed to accomplish. GRRM wants to create a believable but fantastical world for manbabies to escape to, Tolkien wants to create legends and mythic heroes that people can strive to be like.

Lord of the Rings are children's books. As a Catholic I think he'd be disturbed by the excessive sex and consider Game of Thrones degenerate.

The hobbit was intended for children, LoTR for young adults, The Silmarillion for adults.

This.

He wanted to write a sequel but found that the only way to advance the story was to show the corruption of man about 3 generations later.

The Silmarillion was for no one, as he never meant it to be published.
