Hi Everyone, I'm J.J.

I've been reading LitRPG, GameLit, and Progression Fantasy stories for the better part of 5 years. These stories made me appreciate reading again.

I've followed manga and anime my whole life. I've also been a life-long gamer, playing Final Fantasy 10, Guild Wars, Path Of Exile, and Heroes of Newerth.

I finally found light novels and the world of portal fantasy. After reading several sub-par machine translations and some really good light novels, I came across a story called 'Eye of Adventure'. It is, and will always be, my favourite story. Even though the author stopped writing in 2016, I still hope that they'll restart again at some point. After losing EoA, I found LitRPG, which has been my vice ever since.

After reading hundreds of stories, both on kindle and royal road, I decided to try my hand at one of my own.

The Weight Of It All is the first story I have ever written. It has been a learning experience, but I believe the story is interesting and worth telling. It's slower than most of the LitRPG's I've read, but I really wanted to spend time developing the world and the magic, especially.

I hope you enjoy the story and thank you for giving it a chance.
