Description
Among the orcs, a race whose mind is filled with nothing but lust and food, a certain individual was born. He uses rational thinking to control his s*xual urges, thanks to a unique outlook on life. One day, he found a certain book mixed in with the belongings of a human his companions had abducted. The book described a gentleman’s way of life: showing kindness to women and children, and never forgiving evil deeds. After reading this book, he decides to become a gentleman, though this particular book speaks of how to become both a respectable, and lecherous, gentleman: “A gentleman helps those in need. He is soft-spoken and has a gentle heart.” However, mixed in are writings about immoral and salacious activities, which he mistakes as the way to becoming a gentleman-by-night. With both of these as guides, he proceeds to make the women of various races s*aves to his libido.

My Thoughts on Aiming to Be an Orc Gentleman
"Aiming to Be an Orc Gentleman" presents a fascinating, albeit potentially controversial, premise. A fat Orc protagonist dedicated to mastering etiquette and escaping the savage stereotype associated with his race? It's certainly a hook that grabbed my attention.
First Impressions
Right from the start, I was intrigued by the world-building. The author seems to have crafted a unique fantasy setting, distinct from the typical isekai tropes that flood the market. This originality immediately sets it apart. The concept of an Orc striving for gentility, particularly within a world where Orcs are reviled, presents a compelling internal conflict and societal commentary.
What Works Well
The unique take on the Orc-Elf dynamic is a major strength. Instead of the tired "kill men, r*pe women" trope, we see an Orc actively trying to subvert expectations. The protagonist's dedication to learning manners and etiquette, even if his source material is... questionable, adds a layer of humor and complexity. I found myself genuinely invested in his journey to redefine what it means to be an Orc. The early chapters seem to establish a solid foundation for the story, with engaging world-building and character development.
Areas of Concern
However, the novel isn't without its potential pitfalls. The adult content, particularly the inclusion of certain acts, might not appeal to all readers. While some appreciate the explicit nature of the story, others might find it off-putting or even cringeworthy. The potential for repetitive "gentlemanly" justifications could also become tiresome if not handled carefully. The lack of recent updates is a significant concern. An intriguing concept loses its luster if the story remains unfinished.
Final Verdict
Overall, "Aiming to Be an Orc Gentleman" is a novel with a lot of potential. Its unique premise, engaging world-building, and the protagonist's unconventional goals make it a worthwhile read for those who enjoy adult fantasy with a twist. However, be aware of the mature content and the uncertainty surrounding future updates. If you're looking for something different and are willing to take a chance, this might be right up your alley.
