About this listen

A world abandoned by the gods, mystifying cosmic forces, unimaginable power for those willing to ascend, and a hero who would rather . . . go fishing???

When summoned to a fantastical world and granted powers by a broken System, most freshly minted protagonists would strap on their big-boy boots and get ready for their stats to start climbing. But Fischer isn't like most MCs. In fact, he doesn't want to be a hero at all.

Fame? Fortune? Power? He had enough of all that in his old life. Discovering forbidden fishing techniques and petting every cute animal that comes within scritching distance? Now that's a good time.

Unfortunately for Fischer, cosmic forces rarely care for mortal feelings. He's hounded on all sides by inept cults, conspiring nobles, and more magical misunderstandings than those of a preteen relationship. Even his dutiful pet crab is firing energy blades like an anime antagonist.

So grab your fishing rod and a good snack, and pet your dog for me. The catch of a lifetime awaits!

The first volume of the laugh-out-loud LitRPG adventure series—a #1 Rising Star on Royal Road with over three million views—now available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible!

Critic Reviews

“I can’t think of a single story I’d rather get truck-kun’d (truck-kunned?) into than [that of] the vivid, lush world portrayed in Heretical Fishing, especially if I can hang out with Fischer and his gang. . . . The best book I’ve read this year.” —Matt Dinniman, author of Dungeon Crawler Carl

The best way I can describe this book is "hygge". I love it! It's wholesome and funny and makes me want to sell everything I own (except Audible) and move to the coast. Heath as always is legendary and I'm so excited for the next book! Until then I will be scouting around for the best croissant in Brisbane.

Wholesome and funny

Reading the reviews for this book and having Heath Miller as the narrator I had to give it ago . As a fellow Aussie this book just makes you smile and it absolutely worth listening even if your not Australian. The characters are all engaging and drag you into the world. I honestly cannot wait to listen to the next one counting down now….

Total Gem listen to it will not regret it

I originally thought oh gross a litrpg on fishing how lame, then I gave the sample ago and heard heath miller's narration and though oh fine I'll give it a go... WOW so glad I did, I can't believe I nearly passed this one by. it's not all about fishing, it is but it isn't and if a book was a fishing trip this would deffinatly be it in terms if feel
Just like a fishing trip you start out with the excitement and anticipation of what you are gonna catch which shifts into a more chill section where your hanging out getting to know the scenery then into some high intensity moments

honestly give it a go it's worth it

way better than I thought it'd be
