Orc Eroica is the new light novel series by the same author of Mushoku Tensei (Jobless Reincarnation). My first impression on both volumes (1-2) is that there should be an additional warning on the cover page: "Read this light novel series and a phychologist/psychiatrist will probably be required!".
This story is about a halfling (Human-Orc) that was a super respected hero of the Orc Tribe. Because Bash was only dedicated to his war efforts, Bash never married nor "sexually assaulted" any war prisoners (as it was Orc tradition). So this story, is not at all funny nor a parody, it is about the sexual frustrations of an almost mage Orc. (if an Orc is a virgin at 30 years of age, they gain mana/magical prowess and become mages within the Orcs).
So, the uncomfortable shyness, the impossibility to communicate with the opposite sex and the desire by Bash to lose his virginity, with a consensual relationship with another race/species. This is so sexually frustrating, as a reader, I feel the need to seek mental healing (for the author and main character, Bash).
Author closes all other possibilities for Bash to succeed in losing his virginity (going to a brothel, going to the breeding grounds of the Orcs, or engaging Orc females and settling down). This closed mindedness this impossible desire to achieve impossible goals is super frustrating to read. Not funny at all. I think the author urgently needs psychological/psychiatric therapy and even maybe a long stay at a mental institution.
Mushoku Tensei, Jobless Reincarnation is the story of a pervert-loser-wimp-NEET that never really improves, uses his second and third chance at life to statutory rape a series of local girls, incest rape a second cousin, be arrested for bestiality and a lot of other terrible ethical and criminal actions. Because both light novel series are directed toward minors, at least Mushoku Tensei, requires that the U.S., Canadian, Japanese (latin american) territories where it sells and promotes to minors, initiate a civil and penal process to arrest and condemn the author, the publisher and the anime producers for obscenity and promotion of crimes to minors (violating their Human Rights).
Volume 2 has 9 chapters and 160+ pages, illustrations, blank pages, cover pages, etc. I will not read any more of this series. It has little or no action or adventure, it is just a lot of sexual inadequacy, frustration and embarrassment.
