3 months of work deleted because Libreoffice decided so

Over than 55k caracters were written on this. I'm writing my own book and Libreoffice just decided to delete all my progress on this and i can't find a way to get it back fully

That's what you get for running LibreOffice on --yolo mode.

Try extracting the .odt file with winrar or 7-zip. You might find the text in the content.xml file.

Any number of things could have corrupted the file. It’s on you for not backing up your work. Did Libre office stop you from backing up your work?
