Story
Montana Coggeshall is feeling the squeeze - and not just because of his new leather pants from the goddess Eona. His little safeholding in the ruthless world of Vuldranni is under siege. On both sides. At the front is Lord Caticorix, a grade-A Imperial flunkey if there ever was one. He's clearly ridiculous, but the army he brought with him might not be. Plus they're bent on blocking Coggeshall from getting any food or supplies from the outside world.

Montana Coggeshall, duke of Coggeshall, defeater of dungeons, he of far fewer intelligence points than is probably recommended, is finally ready to start building his dukedom. He just needs one more thing before he can leave Osterstadt: a few hardworking friends to join him on this adventure. Well, and some lumber. And nails and whatnot. And enough food to get through the winter. And probably some more gold.

Story
As usual, Montana Coggeshall is hell-bent on doing what's right, even if what's right isn't exactly what's wise. So he embarks on a quest to vanquish the corrupted ursus, a threat so large they could destroy the entire world of iNcarn8. Does Montana head out after months of training for cold weather conditions, amassing an army, and strategizing with his top aides? Not really. It's more like he just walks out of his holding one day with a guide and the members of his hirð. They're just a bunch of angry teddy bears, right?

We join Montana, recently returned from an impromptu study abroad trip, a bit wiser, a bit broader in perspective, and a lot freaked out by the once-dead person who's currently in his bedroom. Possible zombie sightings aside, he's finally ready to take his job as Duke seriously. And just in time too - not only are the politics of the capital rapidly closing in on Montana's little valley holding, but there are also goblins to negotiate with. Plus, that cult threatening to take the lives of his citizens.

It certainly doesn't feel like that to Clyde, who's still got a day job scraping mud (at least he hopes it's mud) out of monster pits. And yet, Clyde's found himself at the center of a massive conspiracy to kill the Emperor. He's the only one with proof that could save the man, and take down an entire network of corrupt nobles, evil slavers, and power-hungry despots.

Just yesterday, Ben was a petty criminal getting by on fleecing New York’s one-percenters. Today, he's got a new face, a new name, and a new world to navigate. And Ben’s thinking maybe this time around, he’ll use his skills at disarming and deceiving to help out people other than himself. Maybe. Watching a medieval City Guard fight off a 20-foot-tall ooze that crawled up from the sewers will make you think twice about life decisions.

Badgelor has been patient, or at least as patient as a homicidal badger can be. With the celebration of Grebthar Day, it's finally time to go get Charles! Nothing is going to stop Jim and his companions, not even the signs of the Dark Overlord's return. This adventure could be Windfall's greatest yet, or it could be its absolute downfall.

Jim and his literal shoulder demon have survived, so far, by the skin of their teeth. After finding a long-abandoned starter village, Jim has begun the process of rebuilding his town. Unfortunately for our favorite adventurer, the threats he now faces are far more complicated than mere monsters. The poor Noob has to deal with angry townsfolk, trade negotiations, and a talking badger. With goblins and bandits also sniffing around, will Noobtown - I mean Windfall - survive?

After dying and being reborn into a world that's built like a video game, Jim has found himself stuck in a very old-world style new-player zone for low-level adventurers. Unfortunately, the zone fell out of use centuries ago, and no one told the monsters they were supposed to take it easy on the Noobs. Even worse, the only new player around is Jim. Jim has been given an opportunity, and he'll do his best to take advantage of it.

Publisher's Summary
When Montana first started playing in iNcarn8, his new game life, he just wanted to be one of the good guys for a change. But despite his impressive stats and incredible heroics, even his followers are just plain scared of him. Trouble keeps pouring down Montana, even in the remote, supposedly safe holding he's building into his dukedom.
All that will have to change if Coggeshall is going to survive. Walls go up and homes get built, but Montana can't shake the feeling that none of it will be enough to keep out the problems of the Empire. Or the world of Vuldranni.

Please stop the whining.
Ok, let's start with the good. Great world and character development, great action scenes, good plot twist, and good move not falling into any troupes.
Now the part I'm getting a bit peeved with. Could we please stop crying about just wanting to be a nobody fisher, that fell by the wayside literally two books back. Also the deal about his past relationship turning him into a celibate monk is one of those troupes I was hoping to avoid. Don't need another harem king or anything, but come on.
So I'll end with saying it's a great book, a great series, and E.U. is a great author with great wit and references in his works.

Gods above.
An absolutely hilarious and riveting series.
At the end of the last book it seemed like Montana royally fucked up, however it was slightly overblown. It didnt blow up in his face, rather it was just another problem to add to the list.
The author has crammed so many problems, quests, and just pure content into this series that it is painfully clear all of it will not get done. Overwhelming odds are fine. But the ratio of problems to time spent on these books is all off.
The narrator does a great job as well. I love the way he portrays Montana and his speech pattern.
Overall, another fun and exciting book in the series. You better keep them coming though Ugland. It is a terrible thing for an author to pack all this great content in and not wrap it up nicely. As a reader, and truthfully, a huge fan, I could not be more disappointed if you were to stop the series aburptly. Take my money and keep writing!

Stupidity is starting to get boring
The main character stupidity is starting to really drag. Time and time again he does stupid things and never ever learns from it. By this point the plot is becoming so predictable it’s just boring to read.

Great performance, good writing albeit, short.
Great writing by the author.
Enjoyable performance by the narrator.
Love the interplay between the mc and secondary characters.
The only thing i can complain about is as follows;
5 books in and the MC seems incapable of adapting beyond growing in a single way, strength and constitution. Would really like to see some progress in this area soon.
The primary issue i have with the series is the length of each "book". Eight and a half hours is quite short in the realm of audio books.
I can most definitely recommend this series. While each book may be shorter than id have liked the bang for your buck is still up there with other series i rate among my favorites.

There's just something about this series that makes each book un putdownable. They're funny and exciting, and I made the mistake of starting it on a night where I had to work the next day. I am now veeeery tired, and I cant wait to do it again in 2 weeks when the next one comes out.

Still an ok story, still frustrating to listen to
The last book covered the preparation for city building, and in this one we get to the city building. Montana still does stupid things and gets yelled at for it, more than half of the mistakes are still due to not knowing the rules of the world, Montana is still trying to seek answers to how the world works, and Montana still gets yelled at for asking just about ANY question. At this point I feel like this is an ongoing LitRPG story of the The Three Stooges; Montana is Curly, and the rest of the world are mostly Moe's mixed with some Larry's...
Best things about this book is Neil Hellegers, which I'm interested in hearing in some other book.
