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!

Simply Brilliant

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.

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!

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.

A different take kn litrpg/Isekai

this book has good humour, some different takes on the genre, and a general feelgood atmosphere.

enjoyable and cozy

Hitting the same points as Beware of the Chicken, this story is about a person who just wants to make friends and go fishing, and who hasn't felt like that sometimes, albeit with something else.

it's a gentle and lovely story with some good laughs.
