I mean yeah it gets pretty fucked up, but thats partly what I want. I don't want moral paragons just some rogues going out looking for a fun time. Like a Flashman set in a sword and sorcery setting. I'd read Flashman but I think the covers are too raunchy to bring into the office.

I rec Flashman. Its very different from Percy Jackson, but its the only adult series I've found that has that same thrilling addictive effect where I want to read the whole book in one sitting. Also if think about it its a comedic adventure series based on history (actually very accurate and well done history), so in a way it actually shares a great deal with PJ.

Alternatively one of the appeals of Percy Jackson, though I wasn't able to express it as a kid, to me was its celebration of youth combined with a pagan mythos in a modern context. To me American Gods is a waste of time because it lacks the prior. One book that does have both of these though is Bronze Age Mindset which gives a similar sort of comfy feel.

Another option, if you're just looking for the feeling and you don't really care where you get it from, is Japanese manga or anime. There's tons of manga and anime out there that feel very similar to Percy Jackson some stuff I'd reccomend
>Danmachi
>Full Metal Panic
>Chainsawman
>Tate no Yuusha
>Btooom

Flashman unironically

Any book series similar to Flashman?
