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.
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.spoiler
To be fair, this is how most manga/anime plots end up lol
Laios isn't uncivilized, he's just autistic. Don't do my boy wrong like this.
