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.
All Montana needs before he can leave Osterstadt are some friends, some building materials, food, and money.
But he did promise to retrieve some magic texts from a cemetery for Emmeline. And he really should try to help the lost little boy who keeps following him around. And all the undead in that basement crypt aren’t going to re-kill themselves.
Maybe Montana’s taken on a few too many side quests.
Four: The Loot is an unputdownable installment of the LitRPG series The Good Guys. If you like your gamelit heavy on combat, dry humor, and of course, a lot of loot, this is the book for you.
The series
In a world where the line between hero and villain is often blurred, The Good Guys dares to explore what happens when the so-called "heroes" aren’t as perfect as the legends suggest. Eric Ugland takes readers on a wild ride through gritty battles, unexpected alliances, and moments of profound self-discovery. This series isn’t just about saving the world—it’s about finding the courage to face the darkness within.
Read full series description
At its core, The Good Guys is a journey of transformation. The protagonists aren’t flawless warriors or picture-perfect leaders; they’re individuals with faults, baggage, and the scars of past decisions. This raw, human element brings a refreshing depth to the genre, making every triumph feel earned and every setback, devastating. The world they navigate is as complex as the characters themselves—full of shifting allegiances, morally gray choices, and moments where the right thing to do isn’t always obvious.
Through intricate world-building, Ugland crafts a universe that feels both familiar and unique, where magic, power, and ambition collide. Yet, it’s the characters that truly steal the show. Readers will find themselves torn between cheering for these so-called “good guys” and questioning whether they truly deserve the title. Each character’s arc is layered with personal conflict, growth, and moments of vulnerability that resonate long after the last page is turned.
Whether you're drawn to the adrenaline of fast-paced action or the slower, more thoughtful exploration of what it means to be "good," The Good Guys offers a captivating mix of both. It’s a series that asks tough questions—about identity, morality, and the choices that define us—while providing the thrill of adventure and the comfort of knowing that, even in a chaotic world, redemption is always possible.
Step into this world where nothing is quite as it seems, and the heroes might just surprise you.
