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 book flows perfectly , not constant action but no true periods of inaction , amazing pacing plays into the genre by ignoring the numbers go up principle but instead just telling the story of a man and his will to fish

The best slice of life arpg litrpg you’ll ever read

Totally different but immensely enjoyable. Like a warm blanket and a nice hot chocolate all rolled into one. Will definitely be getting the next one. 5 star. Heath as usual does a brilliant job.

I read a lot of litRPGs because I love them. This one surprised me by how different it was. It has tense moments but nothing overwhelming and no massive battle scenes like you usually get. But that’s not a bad thing. This was funny, relaxing and very easy to listen to. I found myself constantly wanting to hear the next chapter.

Amazing slice-of-life cultivation story, loveable 3D characters with realistic dialogue and an enjoyable plot that kept me hooked.
I really enjoy Heath Miller's narration style, his timing and emotional intonation match the story and I find each of his voices distinct.
This has become one of my top 3 favourites.
Is recommend this title if you like Beware of Chicken and Qi=Mc2.

Sometimes you just want to relax on a beach and fish. Sometimes you want wizards and action. This book delivers both wonderfully.
