Hi Everyone, I'm J.J.

I've been reading LitRPG, GameLit, and Progression Fantasy stories for almost ten years now. These stories made me appreciate reading again.

I'm a Canadian guy looking to write stories that aren't just wish-fulfillment LitRPGs. I'm hoping to tell stories that enrage, delight and push the limits of the LitRPG genre. I hope to get there one day :).

My first series was 'The Weight Of It All', a series about a boy finding his place on the continent of Terna where dungeoneering is a way of life and Terrence strives to be one of the strongest.

My latest series of stories are about the orphans who are forced to survive and thrive in a post-apocalyptic world. Named 'System Orphans' each will follow a different orphan, with the first set of books following Claire. In this series, fewer punches are pulled as Claire strives to kill anyone who appears on her list.

The two series are VERY different, but I hope you enjoy them!

Thanks for giving my stories a chance - you can find me on Instagram: jjthornbooks
