Yes some animals do fight back (which is why they can still bring back food) but there are many that would run away as well. Also (this may just be me) I can’t imagine there are many animals that would make their nests next to a major predator?
They do actually, not side-by-side but close to each other. Predator and prey often live together. You will often see this in videos like lions and wilderbeast just standing around side-by-side.
The thing is, there are fewer predators than prey. Most prey would actually feel safe, especially if it is obvious that the predator is sated.
The major races (humans, elves, etc) are absolutely smart enough to chose between fighting and running when facing orcs. But people don’t always make the best choices, for various reasons. Fear and pride poison one’s judgement.
Ehhh . . . Now you are making the other races stupid too.
Seriously, they don't need to abandoned their homes, just stay away until things clear.
Not to mention, they could just poison stuff and let the orcs poison themselves. Or considering what we have here, they could preempt it. Finding a tribe or Orcs, leave poisoned carcasses. End of story. Your orcs aren't a threat, at all.
You’re absolutely right here as well, but missing a few points. First, that’s just the orcs that are made in dungeons. Orcs born in tribes on the surface (as it was originally, when there were female orcs) learned to hunt. They were normal, or at least more normal.
You said they can't hunt, now they learned.
Not to mention. They can't go farther than the first generation. They can't birth females and females die after birth. Their race can only go in lesser than 20 years before they all disappear.
You could say that dungeons provide females for them but do you really think these females would not fight? Not to mention, they now are dependent on the dungeon to the point of immobility. One orc raid and people can easily retaliate destroying the orcs and then guarding the dungeon. Your orcs are becoming lesser and lesser of a threat to the point of being just jokes.
The blessing(curse) practically forced them down a new path to survive as a species. They hunted less because they needed females to breed with, so they began pillaging. Time spent learning to hunt became time looking for more females or for training to fight those protecting those females.
They are supposed to be stupid right?
And even if you consider that it goes like that. They began pillaging. Then the others would fight back. Considering they have nothing to them, even experience, other than pure strength. They are easy to take care of. As I said, they are really not a threat at all.
Ah, the MC. Reincarnated as an orc. Unfortunate? Probably.
Then the MC could just leave.
Seriously. The orcs are so fucked up that it is hard to care. There is nothing remotely beneficial in staying with them or keeping them.
He mostly wants to prevent the orcs from becoming a major problem further down the line. Why? Sorry, but I’ll have to keep that one to myself since that’s actually a plot point that I’d rather not spoil.
Then why not just kill them all? Poison the water they drink and they all will be dead.
Still, I will see if I will be satisfied with what you come up.
As for the ten year lifespan, that’s just because orcs have forgotten about mana. MC on the other hand? Yeahhh, he’s gonna be fine.
You are making more and more conveniences. Not that they are bad but you can't depend on them for everything.
And this pokes another flaw. In what way is mana important? Is it just to have long life? Mana often means magic. So orcs can't do magic while other species can? Not only does orcs have multiple weakness but other species have a major advantage over them?
You really need to think this through. I can't see your orcs as nothing but a joke. They are not remotely threatening. They are at most just pests. Goblins are more of a threat than them.
