Heretical Fishing 2: A Cozy Guide to Annoying the Cults, Outsmarting the Fish, and Alienating Oneself

Heretical Fishing, Book 2

By: Haylock Jobson

Narrated by: Heath Miller

Power is returning to the world after millennia, ancient constructs are stirring back to life, and one man is doing his best to ignore all that noise.

Fischer has everything he needs in life: blossoming friendships, a menagerie of cute animal companions, a waterfront property with easy access to fishing, and enough coffee to take out a small elephant or a really big dog.

Unfortunately, Fischer can’t catch a break. Cosmic forces? Still throwing curveballs. The bigwigs in the capital? Starting to sniff around his business. Cults? Still culting. Plus, awakened beings are washing up on his shores like flotsam after a storm. And worst of all? His coffee guy ghosted him!

It’s a lot for one heretical fisherman to handle. Thankfully, Fischer isn’t alone. Between his trusty guard crab, a mischievous otter who can wreathe herself in lightning, and an adorable bunny eager to solve every problem with a roundhouse kick, he’ll be just fine . . . probably.

The second 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!

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

I love it

Maybe my favorite on here. I'm loving these books. I can't think of a serious I'd take over this one.

My favorite new series.

If you are a fan of He Who Fights With Monsters, this is the series for you. The author is a fan of the other series and sites it occasionally, and uses the same voice actor. It is lighter hearted and one of the easiest listens you will find. can't wait for the 3rd.

Cosy style slice of life with no stakes.

The story doesn’t really make sense, and the progression is completely silly, but it’s just a chill style book. If you don’t want to worry about details and mostly just chill and watch a MC randomly succeed at everything, this is what you’re looking for.

loved it!

I may turn into a foodie after this... it made me crave fish. I can't wait till #3 comes out!!

Great interplay of characters

All the fun antics of the spirit critters and the ridiculous names. Unpretentious and entertaining story.
