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

Fan fishing tastic

I loved this audio book. Heath Miller knocked it out of the park. It's a nice slice of life story, laid back and a pleasure to listen to. I can't wait for book 2 to see where it goes. 🦀

Fun and Charming Book

I really enjoyed the casualness of the book, the desire to just chill and make friends is very fun. Nice to read about a strong character who just wants to be at peace.

My only criticism is that I actually really enjoy stat reading and would of liked its inclusion.

The voice acting was very good and definitely a voice I'll be looking into more.

Entertaining!

Has a lot of similarities to Beware of Chicken but with enough differences to be fun and unique in its own right. The MC is entertaining and the other characters keep things fun. Definitely worth the credit.

Better than it has any right to be

Good performance, laidback MC

Feels like a cross between “beware of chicken” and “he who fights with monsters”. If you enjoy those series, it is worth the credit. Looking forward to more.

what a wonderful story

I absolutely love the upbeat and positive nature of the characters. I also love that it's a Lot RPG but the stat update messages are broken. (nice twist) looking forward to book 2.
