The Grim Guys #1
Press Start
Greg and Julian need to make a choice—die in the tornado that’s sucked them up in their van, or agree to hunt monsters in a world full of magic and levels and, oh yeah…monsters.
The two frat bros may be master ghost hunters to their podcast listeners, but they never expected their antics to be taken seriously by a goddess in another dimension. And since when are ghosts the same as monsters?
Awkward.
But when the other option is certain death, it seems like it’s worth giving it the old college try.
The Grim Guys is danger and adventure and buddy comedy at its best. Go deeper into the world of Vuldranni—and into an entirely different empire—in the latest series from Eric Ugland.

This book took everything annoying about Montana and Clyde and mushed them together to create… Greg. Maybe his name was supposed to be ironic or something, but whatever. Greg has a serious case of ADD, zoning out even in the middle of battles. We get to hear everything he is thinking about while zoning and none of it is interesting. He’s more indecisive than Montana and makes worse choices than Clyde. He’s supposed to be really smart. He has a masters degree in some field of science, but he does not come off as even a little bit intelligent. The “sin” of lazy writing is on full display when we get a description of his character. I think it was Stephen King whom said to never describe a character by saying they look like a famous person. There is nothing remarkable, memorable, or likable about Greg.
There is also Julian whom is Greg’s best friend. He is about as exciting a character as a potted plant. I thought there might be two pov’s in this book. Something different than his other series, but nope. Julian is just Greg’s extremely handsome “Chicano” side kick. That’s how the author has the character describe himself. Not the side kick part, the other stuff. The best thing about Julian is that he’s not Greg.
The plot is boring. Nothing all that interesting happens until the last 10% of the book. Even that though is just meh. Definitely not enough to make me care about anything that happened to Greg or Julian. The rest of the characters are so bland and boring I can’t even remember any of their names and I just finished the book.
I’ve read every book in the author’s Good Guys series and Bad Guys. We all know his writing has steadily declined with each book. I have no idea why he thought writing about another set of characters from that world would be a good idea. Maybe work on fixing and wrapping up all of the plot threads in the other books before introducing more meandering characters with nothing but questions with no answers.
I have no desire to continue with this series so I won’t.

I've read a LOT of Eric's work. I liked a LOT of his work. I do not like this one at all. It has all of the worst habits of Eric's.
I've read all of bad guys, most of good guys, and this book had every chance to be a fresh start.
For me, it was not only NOT a fresh start, but there are a TON of problems with it. I'll keep spoiler free as far as plot.
- The pacing is so incredibly poor to the point that Eric will go on pointless and completely mindless tangents about nothing at all for no reason (not even relevant thoughts like his usual ones), which has always been a thing - but now the writer decided to just make that a feature of the main character. Not only that, but the sheer amount of introspection over the most ridiculous things makes it feel like you're watching a person walking to the bathroom, picking up a toothbrush, and thinking about whether or not he wants to brush his teeth. By the time ANYTHING happens, it was a slog to get there, and a slog during and after.
- Horrible main character understanding. Main character is supposed to be smart, yet in this book he never, NEVER does anything even remotely indicative of even the smallest amount of intelligence. He's "a ladies man" who stutters and can't speak well to anyone. Brother is simple, only had a few things about him as well as simple gifts, yet does and says things directly against his personality or forgetting to use skills that are IMPOSSIBLE to forget.
- Useless characters around him. The only potentially interesting person takes off, the people the brothers work with are reluctant to help, and as ALWAYS in these books, literally no one is likeable or likes the main character. No one matters. If anyone in this book died, it wouldn't mean a thing - not just emotionally but there'd be 0 impact. No one has substance.
- General plot emptiness. Their "quest" is ENTIRELY just "Well.... Yeah I guess we're doing this now. Oh, no it's cool we like the idea so sure I guess." No passion in ANY capacity from anyone about literally anything. It took until THE END of the book for the MC to say he liked what his job was.
- Absolutely dreadful ending. I can't give spoilers because I couldn't. The book stops IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIRST REAL MISSION. Not even the middle. It's such a short boot, that just stopping where it did was horrendous. When I checked how much longer I had left in the story and saw 7 minutes remaining I was shocked. That's it?
In the end there's little to say that's good. The dialogue, the thought processes, the story, the progression, the characters, the magic usage, the ending, all of it was bad.

Eric Ugland is really great at making annoying ass MCs and making his world seem cool and doing shat all with them. This book has the same issue with good and bad guys, nothing happens and they just move along replacing side characters. At last this mc isn't as bad as montana, clyde was great until he never became a better character and this mc is just annoying, trying to be clever but just coming off as a fool.
dropping this series like i did with good guys, and honestly going to drop bad guys.

"The Grim Guys" by Eric Ugland offers an interesting and unique take on urban fantasy, blending humor and the supernatural. The story is engaging, and the characters have their own quirks that make them memorable. However, there are moments when the humor might feel forced, and the pacing could be uneven at times. While the book has its strengths, it might not be for everyone, but if you're looking for a light and entertaining urban fantasy with a touch of humor, "The Grim Guys" is worth a read.
Read
September 4, 2023If you've read the authors earlier works you know what you're in for, but that is no requirement to understand this book(but you might as well start at the beginning with the good guys series)
The authors humour is still here, bleeding into the dialogue, making every character sound and feel the same(same audiobook narrator too).
The plot still gets bogged down in side quests like its a skyrim player.
So it's more of the same, except this time its a duo of protagonists getting isekai'd.

Not worth the headache
There are moments of comic brilliance, just not enough to say this book was good.
First... The physical structure or layout of the book didn't transfer well to the digital copy on kindle. The stat sheet is not played out the way I believe the author imagined as the stats run into a continued "run on sentence". Instead of looking like this:
*str
*vit
It looks like this:
str10vit10int10.
Two people talking one after the other are in one line without being split up, so it is hard to figure out what conversation is actually happening.
Typical structure for books with conversation happening looks like this:
"I can't believe you punched a goat in the nose!" said man one.
"He knows what he did!!" replied man two.
But the conversations all start like this for his book:
"I can't believe you punched a goat in the nose!" he shouted. "He knows what he did!"
Also paragraphs get split up in the middle of a sentence. That alone is just annoying.
The title of the book also doesn't make sense as there is no point in the book at all that the characters "Press Start" to do anything. I was confused by it.
The perspective you get to read the adventure from is the ADHD (all evidence points to this) science guy Greg whose thinking process is like watching a group of cats gets sprayed with a hose (everything running just EVERYWHERE). The other character Julian has to constantly reign Greg in to focus; makes for a difficult read.
there doesn't seem to be a real plot to the book, so it isn't important to remember anything that is happening. Just two guys traveling trying to learn about where they are now and getting in trouble along the way while pretending to have the lives of Dean and Sam Winchester.
On the plus side of the book, super fast read as I started and finished in hours. And Greg's horse is really the only reason worth reading.
Good luck!

I really like how this series has a true "partner" main character. The other 2 series, Good Guys and Bad Guys don't really have a second character that's always there to interact with.
Bad Guys doesn't have someone from earth, so no one REALLY gets the main character, and while Good Guys DOES have such a character, he's rarely around the main character.

I read the book before looking at the reviews. I know first hand the dislike people have for Greg because my brain works the same way.
This is the first time I've read a book where it felt like someone had an idea what it is like to be in my head. The idea that you can have so many separate thoughts at once while still doing something is never really shown like this in other stories I've read.

Was this a first draft?
I have never considered deducting stars for typos/edited but the errors in this book were atrocious.
First, and most glaring: We have the convention of breaking each person's dialogue into separate paragraphs. Why? So that we know who is speaking. In almost every section of dialogue multiple characters will have lines. Please Eric do the right thing and follow this literary convention. I know that you can add the extra paragraphs because...
Point the second: Very frequently a sentence will stop midway with a paragraph break, continuing in the 'new paragraph'. While this was not as disruptive as the first point it was still annoying. And speaking of annoying...
Greg: I think he is being presented as having ADHD. People with this condition will frequently loose focus when facing a boring situation, however they will be hyper focused in interesting or exciting situations. Greg was repeatedly going to his own head when in an exciting situation. By frequently I mean about 3 times in 3 pages. By the time this starts to be done appropriately it has already become an eye rolling interlude. Please use this sparingly. We are told that Greg is smart and charismatic. He is not written this way. He forgets to learn his spells, then he continually forgets to use them. He also seems to annoy everyone in the book as much as he does me, this is not a charismatic character. I like a flawed character as much as the next person, but Greg's face is just a little bit too punchable.
I have read The Good Guys and The Bad Guys and loved them, so I am well aware that Eric is quite able to write engaging characters and stories which makes this book all the more disappointing.
The ray of sunlight: The reason I will get the next book (if there is one) is that the story and characters start to improve at the end, the editing does not.
Eric, if you are reading this: Please don't put out another book of this low quality. You can do better. And if this series isn't your jam, just go back to a different series if you can't bring yourself to put the effort into this one. Tom out

In this series starter, Ugland takes his tried-and=true formula from The Good Guys and The Bad Guys series and introduces two more people from earth into his fantasy LitRPG world. This time, the men choose to become a druid and a ranger and get tasked with monster hunting—something neither of them has any real experience with.
The action is fun as we watch the druid figure out that his magic is not very helpful and he doesn't have any combat skills. Since this is a situation that will most likely lead to his death, he is forced to get creative and start applying science to his magical abilities. It is always fun to watch Ugland's characters learn to push small generic and basically harmless spells into something they were never designed to be.
There are also some good monsters in this one and an interesting political problem as they seem to have landed in a sort of police state where people like them tend to get brought to the queen for questioning and then never get seen again.
The plot was a little slow moving as there is a lot of pondering and figuring out what the heroes can do as they make their first contacts in this new world, resolve their first quest, and get into trouble as they try not to get taken to the queen.
Over all I enjoyed the book. While volume one didn't catch me up as completely as the opening books of The Good Guys and The Bad Guys did, I am still hoping Ugland will write volume two.

The GOOD, the BAD and the …. Brother Grim???
Ugland does it again after killing off a pair of unfortunate Earthlings in order to let Mr. Paul send them off to Vuldranni. This pair - a couple of post graduate frats brothers - are uniquely different from those comprising the Good ands Bad Guys … Hopefully this new addition won’t delay the
maine-iacal Ugland from providing us with further volumes of the Good and Bad. I mean what the heck else is there for our author to do during a winter in the northeast except hunch over his laptop bringing his imagination to life for his readers???

Good story, needs editing
I really wanted to like this book. I’ve read all the Good Guys and Bad Guys stories and they were fantastic. This book really needs gone over again with some heavy editing. There needs to be a little more direction indicating who’s talking, sentences stop mid way through and start a new paragraph incorrectly over and over. It yanks you right out of the immersion.
The story could have been really good with a some proofreading. With as good as the other two series were, I have high hopes.

So, so many editing and formatting errors: Line breaks in the middle of sentences, incorrect word usage, tense mismatches, and of course, again, overuse of uhm, well, you know, uhm, you know, like, well...
Story was ok, but really drug down by the constant errors. Really craps up the immersion in the story when you have to try and figure out what is going on with the editing.
Probably the last story I will read by this author because of this. Bummer, too many other stories to read that weren't poorly edited!

Book one
I originally got this when it came out on audible. At the time there was no printed copy, Turns out I don't like audible books.
This book has problems, There's a handful of misspells, or missing words actually And then there's also conversation problems When you have a new person speak You're supposed to start a new line. At least that's what I was taught in school, That does not happen quite often here.
With all the problems I can't in good conscience give this a higher score.
4/10 Just needs better editing.

Well, a surprise.
I am very pleased. I would recommend this book. It was very good . I enjoyed the character, maybe not the world, but that more, I didn't like the world bunch of ********. I would recommend this to anyone to look for something new or a litrpg. I found it very good to read and hope that a lot more of my questions and theirs will be answered in the next book. That's why I love these books they can go anywhere.

Clever Iteration on The Good Guys
Like the humor and world of The Good Guys, but with a new protagonist who is completely different? This is it. The character writing is as if the author listened to all the negative feedback about the Duke in TGG and said, “Oh yeah? I can write a smart character who solves things with his mind and magic too.”
It’s a bit of a slow burn at the start, but by the end of I I couldn’t wait for the next one.

Meh. Another Ugland litRpg in his "Guys" universe. Starts out seeming like it is going to be a fighter + mage buddy story but quickly the mage becomes the protagonist and the fighter seems mostly irrelevant. I get the feeling Ugland is struggling for inspiration to continue his main "Good Guys" sequence and is trying some experiments to find that. I wish him well but this one didn't do anything for me.

Pretty good
Very much in the vein of the other Vuldranni series. The main characters are likable enough that I'll keep reading. Seems like this story may be a builder for the invasion coming towards Coggeshall. There really is no monster hunts until 300 pages in... which is a long time for a crew dedicated to monster hunting.

annoying
I really liked and am
Enjoying his other books. This has a Good story BUT really annoying characters!
It’s also just a struggle to follow and difficult to invest in. As such, at best It’s an ok book with
a potentially great story but the two MD’s should be skin sacks for the worms!
Get it together, we (Borg) expect more 😂

Desperate need of an editor
Was a decent enough story, but it’s clear there was no editing or a shoddy transfer from one format to another. This isn’t a new author, and I’ve never seen any of his work as unfinished as this. Having two character’s dialogues in the same paragraph is also confusing and it’s clear why I’ve never seen it used before like that.

average score
There are many things in this book like action, adventure, new worlds, new monsters, and characters. This book has everything, yet none of them great. With the two MCs swinging from amusing to annoying it did not make this book anything but forgettable. Greg is the guy at parties you bet your friends who can stand to be next to him the longest.

Friggin HILARIOUS
I enjoy Uglands other works, Bad Guys and Good Guys series, but I think this one might be superior. Lots of humor, action, and relatable characters. He has done an excellent job of character creation in his existing 'world'. I will be looking forward to the next book in the series.

awesome start for the Grim series
Loved part one through and through. the brotherly bickering, more world building, and a nice reprieve from the political side of things. I also enjoyed the differences in characters Choices, as they all seem to handle things differently in each series. Can’t wait to read part two!

Good, but formatting issues
I liked this book, but I had a hard time following it because there were a lot of formatting errors with paragraphs and which person was speaking. It was annoying.

A lot of fun
Defnlinitly a fun adventure in the "Good Guys" world. These two bumbling balls of fun are quite enjoyable to read about, though nit as fun as Montana, he's the best.
I hope to see Marduhm with these two, and figure out what is going on on this side of the border.

great story writing but short
A nice little read that was over much too quickly for my liking. Eric Ungland takes us to Marhdhum, letting us finally get a glimpse of the kingdom often mentioned in his other works. A great read.

Another good read
Eric Upland has delivered yet again. Easy read that doesn't get bogged down in system details or harem nonsense. Fights aren't overly complex. Just good plot, characters and story telling. Can't wait for the next one.

Love the world.
Big fan of the other 2 series, so I was happy to discover this one. The only real problem is how the dialog structure is set up. The spacing often makes it difficult to see who's actually speaking.

Enjoyable read
I like this book. It's fun and a quick read. The characters are likeable and relatable. I've lived all the rest of his works and I hope this series turns out like the good and the bad guys.

short but a great start
In the same vein as the good guys and the bad guys.
The MC needs to actually use his “fields medal” doctorate level brain a lot more. But I suppose that’s the conceit of the author to make the plot.
I look forward to the rest of the series
