Alternatively, I have also been researching BLESS Online as well. This is, in part, due to the fact that Black Desert has a few things that I was a little wary of as far as features I don't actually care for. This may or may bot apply to other people...just my Opinion. Here is the most recent info i could find on Bless: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OglpiMjX7o
Also a pretty good introduction to its features: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COwkAvPeZ4s

BDO vs BLESS

BDO's classes are gender locked. Bless's are not

BDO does not allow trading between players. Bless- unknown

BDO charges for the game and monthly subscription (unless I am mistaken) Bless is free to play (as I understand it).

Both are Korean

Both offer PVP and appear to be PVP oriented.

Both have similar (not identical) styles. BDO may be arguably better graphically.

Neither appear to have a "Western/USA" server or regional playability within the US (that I know of)

Though BDO seems to have the edge i initial character customization (Bodies/Faces) over BLESS; there seems to be little if ANY customization of gear (Weapons/clothing) You're pretty much stuck looking the same from 0-50. Bless offers only slightly less initial customization, but offers clothing and gear upgrades /look changes. Hey, even I like to change my underwear sometimes...

BDO is a GRIND. Bless...well probably, but I can't honestly say since I've played neither and I am basing this on information found online.

So is either worth it really?
