Why is it whenever I try to find any info out about this game I find posts full of edgy “haha I killed that, are U mad?” assholes and borderline “race realists”?
Ffs I just wanted to find a post that would help me avoid killing Kobolds and the one posts I find asking the question is full of edgelords bragging about how they love to kill “vermin” races and gays.
This is what you get when you make a fantasy world were certain races are born evil, it attracts all the racist freaks that want to live out their genocide fantasies.
It’s killing my fun for this game.
Dungeon Meshi represents orcs very well, they’re a society based on raiding and seen as savages, because they were banned from owning land on the surface and forced into dungeons. They turn out to be very reasonable people and are honestly more civilised than Laios, the main character.
Laios isn’t uncivilized, he’s just autistic. Don’t do my boy wrong like this.
I really enjoyed the unexpectantness of this manga. At least until Thistle shown and entire thing turned into classical lib shit.
It really did just retroactively ruin everything when (spoilers all)
it revealed that all the neat dungeon ecology and magical worldbuilding was fake and just a manifestation of ontologically evil wish magic, and the most dangerous desires weren’t self-serving greed or cruelty but instead a desire to help others and improve things.

To be fair, this is how most manga/anime plots end up lol
