Praise the Orc Novel

In Lee Jeongmin's thrilling fantasy novel, "Praise the Orc," players enter the world of Elder Lord, a realm where honor is paramount and prejudice is a formidable weapon. The story follows Yi-An, an unexpected hero who chooses to inhabit the virtual world as an orc. He soon realizes that to most players, orcs are merely insignificant 'trash mobs,' easily defeated low-level enemies. However, Yi-An understands the profound meaning of "bul'tar," the ancient orcish term for life, which is deeply intertwined with a warrior's honor and a strict code of conduct. Driven by this noble spirit, Yi-An embarks on a quest that involves not only overcoming the virtual world's obstacles but also confronting the deep-seated prejudices of other players. He champions justice and extends a hand of camaraderie, battling against the ingrained biases he encounters.
