Orc Eiyuu Monogatari Sontaku Retsuden Chapter v554 Discussion

Be warned that the foxoholic translation doesn't finish volume 3 so if you want the rest of the story you're going to need to machine translated it. Anyways on to the review.

The main reason I picked this novel up is the same as most people, its the work of Rifujin aka the author of Mushoku Tensei, and while this series isn't as grand as Mushoku Tensei despite its simple premise Rifujin masterfully adds depth to it that makes the world alive and the characters motives make sense.

Our MC Bash grows as a person learning from his past experiences in trying to woo a woman for example Spoiler

In his first encounter with Primera he misunderstood her intentions and was trying to graduate from his v*rginity, the old Bash would have done so without a second thought, but Bash noticed that Primera wasn't really into it so he stopped.

[collapse] Our MC is loyal, strong, and naive, and while he travels the continent in search of a wife he's (Unintentionally) changing the image that the other races have of his race the orc.

I know in the first two volumes it seems that Rifujin is going to follow a simple formula and Bash is going to make little progress but from then on he changes the encounter with potential wife candidates enough to were it keeps it interesting and Bash does make some progress Spoiler

Primera proposed to him, but Bash misunderstood her again due to not knowing how Dwarves propose and in volume 5 he actually gets engaged although he doesn't see her as a woman since she's still too young to bear children, so his journey to lose his v*rginity continues, but he has completed one of his objectives to find a wife.

So here's my opinion of who Bash is going to get with at the end of the novel.

I wouldn't like for him to get with Judith since it wouldn't make sense for her character.

Thundersonia is a maybe with a slight lean towards yes it depends if she gets desperate enough to come crawling back.

Primera this for me is solid, yes she improving her skills right now to be worthy enough to marry Bash

Beast princess (I forgot her name but it started with an S) I don't see her getting with Bash due to the thing with Leto, but if Rifujin can make a convincing enough sequence then sure since at the end of Arc 4 she seems to respect him now and not despise him as she did at the start of their encounter.

Carrot is a yes for me I hope they get together too bad that you can't graduate from your v*rginity with a succubus or else Bash would have been done already.

Luca is already confirmed while there not officially engaged they basically are she just needs to grow up a bit so Bash can take her as his wife although since Bash is in a time crunch he must now go lose his v*rginity.

Nameless Woman is a maybe I hope they get together (I also think she's Nazar's sister since it implied with how strong she is, her sword being called a treasured and it fits since Nazar's sister's body was never found although I am curious to see why she hates humans now.) she's strong enough to match Bash in combat and Bash doesn't care about her scarred face it's honestly a good match in my opinion and hopefully, they get together at the end of the novel

[collapse] So while the first 2 volumes may seem that there will be little pay off is still there and people are doing things in the background Rifujin includes heavy concepts such as PTSD, R*pe, War, Racism, and Population control.

I wish that more chapters can come out soon, but Rifujin is currently busy working on the Mushoku Tensei anime so he's not writing Orc Eroica right now so we have to be patient for him to finish this wonderful work.
