  I've read the first two chapters and the story is engaging and interesting! Thanks for sharing! I'm new here, and have only read a few stories, but this one stands out because it's nicely paced and has a god voice to the narrative.
  I like the way the character awakes as an ork and has to figure out what's going on around him. His family is preparing for a hunt and he receives a baptism by fire within minutes of waking in a new body, in a place he doesn't recognize, surrounded by orks.
  Can't wait to read more!

  This story is exactly what it says it is. Come for the harem as you wish but stay for the comedy and throwbacks to MCs past life that help define what he's going to do in the next!
  Style: I appreciate MC's point of view on what's going on. We can easily tell the difference between what he's doing and what he's thinking as he learns how to hide the fact that he's been an ork for just a few days!
  Story: Good so far! You can see our MC ork, who just got promoted, needing to bond with the rest of his tribe. Drinking, playing bones, fighting, getting close with his brother, and not taking everyone at face value just because they might have been an ork longer than him. There are also steamy scenes harem scenes, with natural transitions leading up to them. I do appreciate that the harem can interact with each other without it leading to extreme behavior, one way or another.
  Grammar: Great text flow, full and complex narrative sentences, no typos/errors noted!
  Character: I love to hate Mr. Balducci! I think I'm supposed to, though. I can also see the differences in personality between different orks which is refreshing, as they're getting shaped into actual characters instead of vague stereotypes.

  This really drew me in, which is about the highest praise I can offer any story. A lot of haremlit is...not great writing, but this is, and really carries itself with a compelling fantasy tale on top of the steamy stuff. I really want our hero to get it all together and succeed. Fortunately, it seems like he has some lady friends who are even more keen than I am...
  Style - The prose is very good. It feels like a confident, experienced writer.
  Story - Awesome hook, no time wasted at all. Something is always happening and I had things to do around the house but kept reading anyway.
  Character - I really like the orcs, but damnit the dragon or someone needs to whip our hero into shape. Fortunately, I think this is exactly where the story is going...
  Grammar - clean
  I'm no isekai expert, but this is great harem work and just a good story. My lesson thus far? Everyone needs more orc in their life. Oh, just understand you'll need to support the author on Patreon to get the full harem experience. Which, you know, is fair, since writers like to eat sometimes...I'm told.

  Do you like isekais where a guy gets reincarnated as a monster?  This is a great one so far, with a great mix of serious situations and light-hearted comedy.  The main character is relatable and endearing.  I just want him to succeed in his new life as an Ork chieftain.
  Style: The story has an approachable style, written in first-person narration from the point of view of our main character, Ing'tar.  Since we are immersed in his thoughts from the moment he wakes up in the body of an Ork, it feels like we are along for the ride with him as the story progresses.  The fight scenes are vivid and well choreographed.
  Story: Ing'tar gets resurrected as an Ork and becomes chieftain of his tribe.  Unfortunately, things for the tribe are not looking good, and keep getting worse as the story progresses, as the tribe is threatened by enemies both external (those dirty humans) and internal (some Orks just can't be trusted!).  Ing'tar has to lead his people to safety and become the Ork of prophecy who will unite various different groups and tribes into a force that can stand up to the humans.  The plot is what you might expect for this story, but it's well done.  Ing'tar has to juggle the competing interests and ideals of the different Orks in his tribe, and try to lead them to safety, prosperity, and hopefully victory.
  Grammar: No issues I saw.
  Character: The main character was an unassuming, wimpy employee of "Dalmart" in his past life, who gets a second chance as the mighty first son of the Ork chieftain Ing'tar.  Since the story is told in first person we get a lot of character development, seeing glimpses of his backstory, at times tragic and other times comedic, that help inform who he is.  He's trying to do his best in the impossible situation he's been thrust into.
  The love interests in the story are also well developed.  Shai, Ing'tar's first wife, is a tough but dedicated Ork.  It's hard not to like her, she helps Ing'tar at every step of the way, and gives him guidanc

  I have a soft spot for orcs, I really do. I suspect it probably came from growing up playing games like Warcraft 3, or reading the Lord of the Rings. If you like orcs too, you're likely to enjoy I Am An Ork as well.
  For the style, I also have a soft spot for first person stories. I feel like they add a focus to some fictions that others may lack. It adds a certain flavor to it, for the lack of a better word. I appreciate the usage of various orcish tribalisms as well. When you're inserting into a non-human character like this story, it's important to differentiate the culture they've been thrown into from traditional human ones.
  As far as the story goes, it's what many want and expect from an isekai. Power, responsibility, and women. The MC is thrust into the role of chieftains son, and then shortly afterwards towards even greater responsibility. He seems to have a greater destiny in store for him, as well. I can't speak to the explicit scenes of the story, as they're a patreon exclusive, but there are PLENTY of people that are interested in things like that. Especially since it invovles beautiful green women.
  For the grammar, I would say it's serviceable. No huge egregious issues that oftentimes make you want to close a story and never look back. A few missing words, but thats just a matter of editing. Some slightly stilted word choice, but most of this improves as the chapters go on. No real issues.
  As for the character, I just want the MC to go MORE ORC. However, it's very understanable that he needs to adjust to his new circumstances. He used to be a puny pinkskin, but now he's a glorious green raider. It's a big change, and I suspect his differing perspective will be a path to greatness for his tribe. He just needs to get his bearings and gain the confidence needed to propel his people to glory. And more women.
  Overall, I reccomend I Am An Ork. You should give it a try!

  The flow of the story is broken quite jarringly whenever the explicit scenes come in.
  The problem I have isn't the fact that it is explicit but the fact that the continuation after that gap isn't there at all.
  It's just terrible to read. I hope that the author is able to edit it in a way that the explicit scene doesn't break the over all story
