Publisher's 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!

He who fights with Monsters Lofi!!

This was absolutely amazing! Worth every penny! If a slice of life fantasy with background cultivation and cute creatures are your thing you’ve found your calling. It’s He who fights with Monsters with lofi music and crashing waves in the background! 10/10

Poseidons passion pearls...

That was a great listen. Heath Miller really made the story and characters pop. It felt as though it were written just for him after listening to the series of "He who fights" I look forward to future parts of this story. It was so much and still only the beginning of the story. 1000 percent recommend and look forward to more.

A new favorite

I just really enjoyed this book. The way the book unfolded was really entertaining and funny. It is so refreshing to have a nice story where mostly good things happen. The narrator did an outstanding job also.

Outstanding!

Just over halfway done with the book and I can already tell you it's one of my favorites. Heath Miller's voice just brings it all together. If you want an easy to listen to book about a guy wanting to fish in peace with magical stuff all around and a crab that can read better than the MC, you found the right book.

Love it so much!

It really is as good as Beware of Chicken with narration as good as (and by the same narrator as) HWFWM. So worth it.

Better then it has any right to be

It’s hard to explain how lovely this book is, and the narrator is one of my favorites. You just can’t go wrong with this book, get it now.

Love of fishing

Great performance! It was a nice slow paced taking it day to day story that’s broken up with things that propel the story forward and keeps you hooked waiting for the next reveal or info
