Orc Eroica, Vol. 1 (light novel): Conjecture Chronicles (Orc Eroica (Light Novel))

Product Information

One Dialogue, Two Conversations: A recurring part of the series. Bash is quite secretive about his goal (since it would be shameful to reveal he's a virgin), and when combined with him being a hero to orcs, it means other people keep thinking he's on some important mission. Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: The Four Race Alliance has this trouble since even in peacetime the races have trouble getting along till a point their leaders outright know they won't become allies again if another war were to break out. The only other thing I sorta see as a positive point is that all orcs love babies. At least I assume they do because I can tell you, you shouldn't leave your babies in the hands of the people you forced to have them.

So the main character is a denatured hero Orc. An Orc that opposes his animal desires (instincts). Even though he is not an educated Orc, he considers that the Peace (only 3 years old) that this alternate reality world lives currently has reduced the chances he has had to find a woman to have kids with. Orc hero is not saving himself. He just feels ashamed that he is still a virgin at 28 years of age. So for 25 years he stayed a virgin because he was fighting a war with the Humans, Dwarves, Elves and Beast-folk. Listen that makes zero sense. And I can't believe that I got so heated over this. Your whole culture is based on procreating with other species. You get these women by conquest. But everything I got to know about this world is that they mostly took female soldiers because the orcs spend their time mostly on the battlefield. So female warriors are normal in this world. So why the whole 'despite the limitations of her sex'? That's just dumb. That's shitty worldbuilding. Orcs shouldn't have this view on women. Not when they fight against them all the time. Plus the men also fall like flies before them so no sexism there. Get out with your shitty worldbuildingDare to Be Badass: Upon seeing how his former comrade Donzoi became a shell of himself after enduring years of slavery and tries to convince Bash to throw the fight. Bash instead gives him a speech to make him remember his pride and fight at full force against him. Do You Want to Copulate?: Due to coming from a culture with no concept of romance, Bash's initial idea of proposing marriage is along the lines of "Do you want to bear my children?" Healing Potion: Fairies produce a powder with a healing effect. It's valuable enough that fairies are sometimes imprisoned to act as sources of healing.

Sonia is the "Elf Hero" and is considered the greatest magician in the world due to her great magic potential, which she cultivated by making herself immortal and fighting in the war for over a millennia.The title of "Orc Hero" is gifted to the strongest orc, which in this case is the protagonist Bash with only a few people in the world capable of matching him in combat.

I will finish it because it was too expensive not to and also I want to be fully justified in giving it 1 star. And I do think it will be 1 star. Nothing can safe this. Overall, this was a fun premise. An orc wants to get laid and gets mixed up in some human affairs. It’s definitely not high literature, but it was entertaining. Breeding Slave: Orcs habitually took female prisoners as sex slaves during the war because they're a One-Gender Race that must reproduce using females of other species. One of the concessions of the peace treaty with the victorious human-led alliance is that the humans provide the orcs with female prison inmates to breed with so that their species doesn't die out. Underestimating Badassery: Some people, who don't know who Bash is due to not participating in the war, just see him as a regular orc.Zell advises Bash that to be able to entice a human woman he needs to “Keep clean, smell good, act dignified, speak wisely...". The Orc hero, has never been with any woman, no Orc woman, no other species woman. Not even prostitutes or the women that were sent to the Orcs with the Peace treaty. Weredragon: Dragons have the ability to take on human form, but rarely do so. Other races are thus unaware of this ability, with Bash and Zell assuming that the transformed dragon they saw is a demon. For Orcs, who hold combat and sexual prowess in high regard, being a virgin is tremendously shameful. Magonote penned the story of " The Conquest of the Dragon King" (which was later published as an extension story of Mushoku Tensei) three years prior to starting the official main story. He scrapped the idea due to the story structure being too hard to understand. [21]

Badass on Paper: While Houston is known as an expert orc slayer, who killed many orcs and managed to survive encounters with Bash during the war. He is far from an unstoppable knight capable of inducing fear in every orc since he only had to learn about orc behavior to make strategies on the battlefield and he only managed to survive encounters with Bash by running away at sight of him unlike Thunder Sonia, who fought against the Orc Hero head on and managed to tie. Living Legend: To members of the Seven Race Federation with the exception of demons, Bash is one of them due to his military achievements and contributions during the war. Brains and Brawn: Orcs are known to not be the brightest amongst the races, but have tons of physical strength, which is why they work together with fairies, who are mischievous and intelligent enough to make plans for them. Accidental Hero: Bash's only real goal is to find a wife, yet this leads him around the world and causes him to solve many problems. Similarly Thunder Sonia also went out on a journey to get a husband, yet just like Bash she ends up solving problems her race causes to others.Deliberate Values Dissonance: All races have a different set of cultures and customs, which Bash learns though his journey. This is a new light novel series from the same controversial author of Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation.(I have a review, here on goodreads, of that series if you are interested in it.) Short Synopsis: The orc hero bash is still a virgin at age 28. Because of his achievements in the 3000 year lasting war between the 12 races of Vastonia, the orc king
