Home, Siege Home: A LitRPG/GameLit Novel

The Good Guys Series, Book 6

By: Eric Ugland

Narrated by: Neil Hellegers

Length: 8 hrs and 51 mins

Publisher's Summary

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.  

And at the back are the ursus, the larger-than-life bear people who've traditionally called this valley home. They're none too pleased with Montana for taking in a few ursus refugees, and would like the 400-lb Goldilocks and her followers out of their house now, thankyouverymuch.  

Battles are brewing, and the entire town is being held hostage. And despite all his strength and ability, Montana needs to do some serious training to get Coggeshall out of this. There are actual stakes this time - children could starve, his friends have gone missing - and Montana's not sure he has what it takes to save everyone.  

This video game world is starting to feel way too much like reality.

No Respect

While I have been enjoying the storyline so far, I have been becoming more and more frustrated with the interactions between the MC and all of the side characters. Duke Montana, who has a direct line to several gods, and who alone takes on monsters that an army of dwarves would be hard pressed to survive, who generously provides free food and protection to all who show up on his doorstep, yet constantly gets treated with fear and revulsion by everyone, including his closest followers. If he isn't getting even a modicum of respect or appreciation from anyone after all of his herculean efforts, then why continue to bother? And I am really beginning to despise Nicolai. Every time he appears in the story, he is so snarky and condescending to his liege lord no matter what the situation and without having any of the facts, that all I can do is hope that Duke Montana will pull a giant hammer-of-smashing out of his magic bag and drive Nick in to the floor like a rusty nail. Please, please Mr. Ugland - allow a bit of character growth in the next book. This is getting beyond frustrating.

Still had me hooked but...

I don’t love how the mc still gets patronized by everyone. It was refreshing at first to have someone who wasn’t perfect but in some cases in this book it doesn’t even make sense. Like- why does a random archery or weapons teacher get to look down upon a dude whose pretty much pulled them out of the fire multiple times? Stations aside- at some point it’s just rude, especially to the man who basically gave them a place to belong.

Rant over- still love the story and eager for the next!

the main character is so stupid.

he is so stupid that it makes me physically upset. I am constantly angry at how stupid he is. he's not an idiot, he is willfully stupid and it's bad. he practices ignoring the obvious and it makes me want to never listen to this series.

Mc is str8 retarded

His stupidity is not "endearing" in the slightest, and never was. It only get more annoying every book. That shit with duel was beyond pathetic.
edit: If he doesn't tame that ruby shitting worm, I'm done.
edit: why is this retard not using the bazooka bow.
edit: about time.

Meh, very SJW

The narrator does an excellent job. The series has taken an increasingly sjw turn though. The MC is portrayed kinda like Homer Simpson with super powers to a ridiculous degree. The word bigot gets used a lot. Everything the Bad Guy series got right, this series gets wrong. If I wanted an sjw self pleasuring circle, I’d go to a college. This series had a lot of promise but it’s turned into a weird, flailing propaganda narrative with rpg window dressing.

just amazing story

I really have to give it to the author and narrator they absolutely killed it. the only bad thing is now I have to wait for the next book

spectacular

I was highly impressed the character of well-done story is really impacted had me very interested since since the first one and I was ready to go to the second and no other books well done can't wait for the next ones

Another one.

I absolutely love this series. If you’ve already made it this far into the series you know what to expect and Mr. Ugland never disappoints.

bloody good

cant wait for the next one and am enjoying the story with every book and love the the narrative

too much info not enough story progression

These past 3 books have been such a go nowhere books. Sure things are happening but the amount of pointless over-explaining and needless conversations its made this series really exhausting. Old mate keeps taking on quests and clearly missing out on the basic important stuff, it is doing my head in!

10/10

Amazing story progression, loveable characters and a strong MC. My only gripe is that it's only 8hrs long.

Still on track

Still fun to read and I'm starting to struggle with writing something interesting. Like that book, off to next part.

Must read / listen

Absolutely fantastic! Finished all 5 books within a few weeks! If you liked the land series you will love this!
