Hi Everyone. I'm J.J.

(New!) I started a newsletter! Head to my website to keep in touch - www.jjthornbooks.com

I love LitRPG, GameLit, and Progression Fantasy stories. These stories made me appreciate reading again.

I'm a Canadian looking to write stories that aren't just wish-fulfillment LitRPGs. I hope to tell stories that enrage, delight, and push the limits of the LitRPG genre. I aim 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 getting stronger is not just a goal.

My latest series of stories is about 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 Quest.

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, on facebook @JJTHORNBOOKS or my website:

Good book

Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2022

Good book. I enjoyed it. Not the most exciting. Lots of explanation and internal dialog over story progression. Still, it was entertaining and worth the time.

Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2021

It's a very nice story, very slice of life with steady but slow progress. The world building is coming along, the characters/team is growing and learning. all good stuff. The characters themselves are alright they are coming along nice. All around very pleasant read. The one thing that confused me with the concept of energy and mana cause a few times they in the book mana came up and I thought it might be a typo or are they the same thing?

Much better than first book

Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2022

The series got remarkably better in the second book. The mc seemed more mature and the story was much more interesting. If only I didn’t have to read the first book to get there. I guess my boredom served a purpose. I will be reading the next in series of this surprisingly low angst adventure.

A great addition to the series

Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2021

Verified Purchase

I really enjoy the first book so I was excited when the seconded on was released. This book was amazing also. I enjoy the character development. He develops characters at a measured pace. It is unreasonable for a person to become massively powerful in a short time and the author avoids this trap.

I enjoy watching the different characters struggle to come to grips on how to use their powers and who does not like seeing the underdog excel in the face of adversity.

My only regret is each book is not twice as long so I could have more of the story. Now I have to wait for the next book and hope the wait is not too long.

Great read, you will not regret buying it.

Interesting but lacking

Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2022

Verified Purchase

TL: Better than most books I’ve found. But still too slow paced and lacking in content.

Pros:
1. Good world building
2. Characters develop
3. Characters don’t have an IQ of -100
4. Few grammar mistakes
5. Interesting system
6. No plot armor so far

Cons:
1. Tedious pace.
Due to constant internal monologues, you can read through many pages and not have anything interesting happen.
2. Small amount of content per main character.
Since the book tells two different though related stories, you’re actually reading two very short books with few events (even if important).
3. Annoying cliff hangers.
The author likes to switch perspective between Terrence and Tom after interesting events, increasing dissatisfaction.

More of the same old same old

Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2022

Verified Purchase

After reading book 1 I picked up book two, hoping for improvement and Ren ranking up. We get some of that, but it's mostly more of the same.

The group is still at prep, where they're training in swords and improving their physical fitness while going to classes. There are a lot of magical academies out there in fantasyland, and this one just isn't doing it for me. The characters are fine, but there's no conflict. Sure, the nobles are no fun, but Ren & company don't interact with them. Only Zane does, and not much at that.

On top of a somewhat boring magical academy, Ren continues to level his affinity. He hasn't ranked up yet, but I have a feeling that when he does it will be underwhelming. Ren is a nice guy despite what his cousin thinks, but his affinity of WEIGHT isn't bringing anything new and interesting to the table.

While I'm reading book two, I'm wondering why he isn't practicing with a mace or a hammer instead of a sword? Wouldn't that make more sense for someone who can affect the weight of things (eventually?) But no, nobody mentions it.

I don't know. I liked book one, but book two was too much of the same thing all over again. The editing is better than in book one, although not by much, and the stats are again very straightforward.

I might read book three, but for the moment I've moved on to something else. 4/5*

Good Work

Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2021

I enjoy fiction, and especially LitRPG; RPGs have been some of my favorite media growing up, especially the Final Fantasy series. I have enjoyed reading fantasy novels since very young, and they have been a constant in my adult life.

This series has, for me, scratched a particular itch that a lot of series or games don't manage to scratch. Most RPG systems allow for a particular level of character customization, but most aren't adaptable enough, are too limited(usually for logical reasons), to allow one's imagination to run wild. Hard limits ensure that, once one has a grasp of a given system, the one manipulating it can begin to min-max the hell out of it(assuming this is usually the best option for play).

This series, because of the dynamic nature of the progression of those who are blessed with Affinities, and the lack of information about the system in general, gives more reign to imagination and wonder, to be immersed in the struggle of these characters to BE different, and for their struggles to uniquely impact their character development outside of the cookie-cutter roles generally foisted upon characters with particular attributes in other systems.

I initially thought about giving this series a pass, but I'm glad that didn't happen. Looking forward to the next one!

A good 2nd go at it

Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2021

Another excellent entry in the series. I was glad to see the main characters of the story take some action. I do wonder how to story will proceed. Since we are shown it takes years to advance for many. How will we see the main characters advance over years of time when it’s taken two books to cover several months. We did see instances in this book where weeks would pass a month would pass so that is possible. However with so much pertinent information happening in the classroom it may be difficult to do something like this. I can’t wait for the next piece of the story hope it comes really fast.

Sidenote for the author I noticed in the table of contents I believe it was chapter 11 there was no link. Also I don’t know if it’s something you can do with Amazon but I follow you as an author but Amazon did not let me know the new book was out. I just happen to go searching through the authors I follow and saw the book and read it immediately.

Slow burn

Reviewed in Brazil on January 2, 2022

i was baffled at the book one not having a conclusion, and while this one sorta had one, this series is definitely a slow burn, it's not bad, the system is good, i like the characters, but it surely a series you have to compromise yourself into reading everything.

An interesting magic system that you can tell has a kot of thought put into its depth and sone fun world building that isn't just the usual boring fantasy tropes.

Great story with interesting progression and well written characters. Really looking forward to Ren becoming strong and with the speed of his progression it surely won‘t be too long.

Enjoyable read

So Ren goes on his first real adventure which was interesting and finds his proficiency with the sword is not good enough to use in the real world. After reading only the first two books if the author does not give Ren a Warhammer as his main weapon I will consider it a wasted opportunity. The man is built for Blunt weapons so don't disappoint me J.J

Good story

Reviewed in Canada on May 10, 2021

Verified Purchase

There’s a bit too much details and explanation of everything hence the 4 instead of 5 stars. The story is well constructed, the characters have depth (all of them) and don’t act only to support or oppose the main characters, Terrence and his friends. The ranking and levelling is believable and not overpowered (yet). I like how thinking outside the box is valued by the goddess/system. Great story. Be warned the pace is slow, which makes the progress of each character and their learning more believable (in-depth).
