Your competitor outshines House of the Dragon with Elves, Hobbits, Dwarfs and Humans. The story is far more exciting than the rather mundane story of House... The characters are more entertaining, the costumes more realistic and the images far more intriguing. I've only seen two episodes of the House of the Dragon and I was throughly underwhelmed but have hopes future episodes will dramatically improve and better resemble Game of Thrones. It's possible that the writers of House... were too concerned with establishing the characters of the House of Targaryen and the conflict between brothers that they became unnecessarily bogged down in minutiae. But, the conflict between family members has been overused as well. The House of the Dragon can be considered more closely looks like a true world and the other more fantasy and possibly that is what captured my attention but the quality of the production was better than how House... was presented.
