Heretical Fishing 4: A Cozy Guide to Annoying the Cults, Outsmarting the Fish, and Alienating Oneself

Heretical Fishing, Book 4

De: Haylock Jobson

Narrado por: Heath Miller

An empire has fallen, another blooms in its wake, and one man—who would rather be fishing, thank you very much—has finally accepted his role as its leader.

Thanks to overwhelming might, a cadre of violent animals, and a weaponized fish or two, Tropica has wiped Gormona's royal forces from the map. Now at the helm of his own Church, Fischer finally has some time to relax. But life in Tropica is much like fishing from a rocky shore: it's only a matter of time before you hook a snag.

It seems chi has returned to the area, the Church of Fischer and the village of Tropica have grown, and at least one of Fischer's animal pals has experienced a breakthrough that defies metaphysical understanding. Furthermore, these developments send out waves of essence, their echoes spanning oceans and reaching distant shores.

And unfortunately for everyone involved, they haven't gone unnoticed . . .

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

Next book please.

What’s the quest that unlocks the next book?!?!? Ellis’s core has taken root in my soul.

best book so far

What a great way to start this book we get a little bit a of recap but it is told to us by corporal claws! With stories on how claws was the one to save everyone and beat the king. Intill the other animal companions chime in. After this we get to see how Fischer and his cult are progressing forward. With maria having a bun in the oven and everyone is starting to awaken to their true talents there is never a boring day in tropica. We are also introduced into two new companions a little baby racoon with bonded with claws of all people. Also a slime named specialist slime who is the sentient form of the healing pond!? There are also so many great references from dragon ball, one piece, dungeon crawler carl, and naruto each just as good as the last!. Lastly we get to meet a ancient earth elemental and a ancient godly kraken. What is the world coming to! The cult of Fischer is officially growing beyond what we ever thought.

Hilarious story. Another installment on a sweet, whacky ride

Love the Kiwi Narrator and you can never go wrong with a cuddle puddle. Such a lovely change from most of what's out there

just another AWESOME book

As always, this book did not disappoint. Full of laughs and twists, comedy, revenge and redemption. I can't get enough of this book series

Meh…

Not a lot of forward progression, not complete let down, sorta left feeling… meh, will continue but not as enthusiastic as previous. ❤️ Health Miller as usual

One of my favorite character collections ever.

Honestly one of the best stories I’ve had the pleasure of partaking of. Character development is above and beyond what I could have expected from a fishing book.

Great Story!!!

Another great story. A number of misread words which is a little annoying but still love Heath Miller! Can’t wait for another

I love Heretical Fishing soooooooo friggen much!!!

Ohhhh fun! Fun! FUN! I love Heretical Fishing soooooooo much! It's absodamnlutely magical! And one of my favorite books! I not only love the MC Fischer, the first heretical fisher, and Marie his chosen life mate, but all the others too! Fischer's animal pals, and all his mates living in Tropica, as they're all family to him! And I swear everyone, and I mean everyone has their moment to shine brighter than the sun in this ✨ fantastical story! Plus Calamari is on the menu folks! I thought for sure that this was the end of one of the best series evarrr... but I'm mistaken, I found that book 5 will be released February 2026! And there's no telling where Haylock Jobson is gonna take it! But wherever he does Fischer and his Cadre will be ready!
So grab this action-driven audiobook 'cause Heath Miller's performance is extra Buttery AwesomeSauce!!!

Hey here's some quotes for ya:

“Aphrodite’s bohemian breasts...” the woman swore."

"A wave of relief washed over me. “Looks like we’re not gonna run out of coffee anytime soon..."

"The things were ugly cute. Like a pug. Or those weird dogs that look like someone bred a shih tzu with a naked mole rat then washed them on a four-hour spin cycle."

"Ellis’s need for knowledge was a Sisyphean task, and never before had his metaphorical boulder seemed so heavy as he stared up at the silent barista."

"We called this aluminium foil where I come from—or aluminum foil if you’re American.” I gave an exaggerated shiver. “And you guys call me heretical. The things that country has done to the English language...”

"...the eldritch creature bellowed, its guttural voice about as enjoyable as a garbage

tired of the Otter

The otter is no longer cute. it's just a menace. and the so called super kind MC let's it run around hurting innocent people and destroying other people's property. then the otter smiles and makes plans on who to hurt or what to destroy next. it is necessary for both pets and children to have discipline. the MC provides zero. it's not fun anymore. also the America bashing is very old. Australia and most of the western world would be flattened if America decided to just protect herself. that's also why all these countries can afford to have a welfare state, they don't spend on protection. It's just expected that big mean old America that you demean constantly should protect them, like spoiled entitled children (see Otter above).

Perfect!

Story and the narrator were perfect once again! One of the best series going right now!
