About JJ University

The basic idea

JJ University is a collection of books written over the past year with one goal: to figure out how things actually work.

I'm not just talking one subject here. I'm talking everything. Science, history, religion, psychology, culture, systems, people, ideas, and anything that helps explain reality in a clear, structured way.

How the books work

Each book takes one topic and breaks it into something you can actually understand without dragging it out forever.

You can open any book and start there. There's no required order. Read enough of them and the connections start showing up.

These books aren't meant to replace original sources, expert work, or your own judgment. They're meant to give you a useful way into a subject and enough context to keep going.

How they're made

This started less like a traditional author project and more like a personal knowledge system that turned into a library.

I use AI during research and drafting. I choose the topics and decide how deep each one needs to go. It helps me gather material and get a first version moving. Then I rewrite, rearrange, cut, and keep working until it's ready to ship.

Some books are further along than others. I'm going back through the catalog now to fix weak sections, check facts, and improve the structure. That work isn't finished.

How it started

My name is James Johnson, but I usually go by JJ. I'm 22 and from Dayton, Ohio. I never planned to become an author. For a while, I was mostly trying to figure out what I was supposed to do.

Writing started with random ideas, then spread into bigger subjects. For a stretch, I was making books constantly, sometimes more than one in a day. I'd be delivering pizzas while thinking about chapters, then go home and build them.

A lot got thrown away or restarted. I spent ridiculous amounts of time on the covers too, sometimes losing my mind over a color palette. Later, I worked with a lot of narrators to turn many of the books into audiobooks.

Where it stands

I've slowed down on writing new books so I can improve what's already here. Right now I'm focused on editing, fact checking, organization, and figuring out how far the project can go without losing what made it useful in the first place.
