Otherwise… yeah. It’s a heavy read.
I suspect the reason it was unpublished is because Tolkien himself was like “this is… a lot. Perhaps too much. One cannot read this to children at bed time, though it surely will be put them to sleep.”
Just open it to a random page and read for a bit. We are truly lucky as fans that it exists at all.

"Heavy Read?"
