Yikes. So if you go with the "A different realm" idea, at that point the Book of Mormon is literally indistinguishable from
Lord of the Rings ,
Harry Potter ,
Star Wars , or
Star Trek . Or any other fictional universe.
If the Church were to add the Lord of the Rings, The Silmarillion, and the Hobbit to their canon, they would have much more evidence. LDS apologists could find quadruple the parallels with the ancient runes and the Elvish languages alone.
For the absence of Nephite evidence, they could point to part of Middle Earth falling into the Sea at the end of the First Age and the overthrow of Morgoth.
