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!

willfully ignorant MC

Good book, not for me

I had no use for the MC in this story... he's supposedly smart but we spend damn near the entire book with him presenting as a complete dumbass. The only reason we get from the MC is "it's better if I don't know..."
- IS THERE A REASON FOR THIS?
- ...NO
- THAT CHECKS OUT
I found this story a much lesser derivative of the "I'm going to ignore my super powers so I can live a simple life"... even down to the relationship with the only single woman in the entire town(who has freckles) that's at the end of the established territory.

Such a fun read

If you like LITRPG, Xianxia and systems this book is a breath of fresh air. It’s everything I like about these books in a much lighter story that feels like a vacation. Such a fun read.

Easy listen

But way too much emphasis was how very emphatic and considerate the mc was. And the extreams of tastes and views and what not. Can't imagine how will the feels be first time they try have sex :)

Anyway, not much musculinity even in male characters but otherwise relax and easy listen
