Summary

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!

Deliciously enjoyable

Originally picked this up for a laugh, and I’m a big fan of Heath, but it ended up being incredibly enjoyable and bizarre. Looking forward to the next book in July!

completely blown away

I am huge He How Fights With Monsters fan and this is in the same vain just without the Chuuni angst and overpowered MC.

The whole pacing and style are completely unique however and I thoroughly enjoyed every moment. can wait foe the next one.

Brilliant story

Great story. A mix of He Who fights with Monsters and Beware of chicken. I thoroughly enjoyed it and have pre-ordered book 2.

Fantastic first book, pretty chill

Heath Miller is a fantastic VA and it's really nice to hear his narration again. Classic self aware Isekai nonsense with a more chill vibe to it it's a really fun little story and I can't wait to see where it goes next

Perfect slice of life

I love books like this where its about magic but at the same time its just another slice of life. This book is very similar to another book that I enjoy called "Beware of the chicken". Finally it's narrated by Heath Miller and if you know that name you already know how great the book would be.

Just buy it.

Don't be put off by the name, or the cover art: this book is utterly superb. If you're even remotely interested in fantasy, litRPG, or cultivation novels, this is made for you. Can't wait for the next one!

loved the book very relaxing and funny great for winding down or switching off and you don't need to like fishing to enjoy its far more about character interaction and development, bring on book 2 please

6 out of 5 stars

This is up there with greats in the genre like DCC and HWFWM. I'd pre-ordered the second book in the series two hours in.
