/lit/ - Literature

>>15728975
>Anyway did Riordan get better at writing as his books went on?
He went all twitter J.K Rowling

There is actually some good writing in there. Bad writing too at times, but the amount of genuinely good writing is remarkable for a kids' book.

And yeah, he improved in some ways as he went on but HoO and ToA (sequel series) are progressively shittier and more woke.

>>15728975
There are gays, transvestites, non-binary individuals and female empowerment
It's all shit oh and he revealed the gay character by having him admit he wanted to fuck his cousin

>>15731628
>It's all shit oh and he revealed the gay character by having him admit he wanted to fuck his cousin
Now he fucks their nephew.

>>15731628
>>15731852
Literally everyone in this series is fucking their cousin or second cousin. Why are you people acting like Nico doing it is somehow different? Is it because he is gay?

>>15731953
>>15731852
>>15731628
hot as fuck honestly

Demeter's fat daughter is one of the worst characters in all of YA lit.
What the fuck was Riordan thinking making her the deuteragonist? He should have fucking made Nico the deuteragonist since he actually has a connection to Apollo (through his boyfriend). Or fuck just brought back Percy.

>a bunch dead Roman generals are stronger than the fucking Titans or Gaea
Running out of ideas. Just let this franchise die already.

1st series of books are okay.
Don't bother with the rest.

>>15728975
First series is really good and is something I will show my kids. Second series is still really good but book five was a complete shitshow. Didn't bother reading the rest.

>>15732237
>First series is really good and is something I will show my kids.
What if they get curious and read the rest? What will you do then? Better to not acknowledge their existence.

I'm still up to date with the series. PJO and HoO is good fun turn your mind off /lit/ but ToA is horrible. If you want to read past HoO just read Magnus Chase.

>>15731628
>>15731953
Demigods don't have godly DNA to pass on. None of them are biological cousins.

>>15732374
But then why can't they fuck their half-siblings?

>>15732359
>Magnus Chase.
>Chase "gf" is some tumblr tranny
No and never recommend that again.

>>15732301
I'm not a paranoid retard who thinks that reading a book will turn my kids into trannies. It's bad writing, and I have no doubt that my children will be able to see the difference between good writing and bad.

>>15731976
Degenerate

>>15732439
That's cute. I bet you also believe in socialism.

>>15732409
raised like siblings on the camp so the biological failsafe kicks in

>>15732415
it doesn't mean its a bad series

I dropped this after the book where Percy kissed Annabeth (I think that was her name).
Anyone what book that was?

>>15733550
>biological failsafe kicks in
Nigga they already said they don't share DNA.
But even then, this whole DNA thing is dumb. Some of the kids look more like their Divine parent than their human parent.

>>15732359
ToA can redeem itself if they kill off Nico. Ignoring the gay shit, his character has gotten worse starting with BoO.

>everyone is a demigod lmao including persons of interest who should belong somewhere else
I don't know if Riordan is just shit or he's hinting that the pantheon is delusional or they make their own propaganda.

>>15733664
>persons of interest who should belong somewhere else
I don't understand, what do you mean by this? Give an example please.

The egypt series is the best and superior to his other series.

I have become to hate percy jackson as a human now because he's such a normalfag.
Incel nico is better

I imagine the characters and view through anime archetypes.
For example the girl who has the skeletons is a obvious tsundere

>>15733951
Um bro, that's not a girl.

>>15733973
Not that one, the one who has the ship, daughter of ares i think

>>15733940
>ugly disheveled midget with a rotten personality gets a 10/10
Nico gives gay incels false hope. Rick should be ashamed of himself.

I could see how a Chad like Percy got Annabeth, but this is too much.

>>15733590
Battle of the Labyrinth?

>killed off Jason because the other mains are either Percy, female, poc, or gay
I hate this. Jason didn't deserve to die.

>>15733940
Nico hasn't been an incel in years.

>>15734014
>all the blonde blue eye Aryans in this series are either dead, evil, or gay
What did Riordan mean by this?

>>15728975
>better
No but they are fun and comfy. Give it a shot OP.

>>15734035
Jason is going to come back. Nobody stays dead in PJO.
>>15734014
he won.

>>15734014
>don't even remember his name
>have to check the filename
Lol, great gay character you fags got.

>>15735912
>Nobody stays dead in PJO.
Bianca.

The only thing good this series ever gave is that doujin of Ares fucking Percy.

>>15733686
Everyone famous is a demigod for some reason. Even those who should belong to another pantheon. There was this voodoo girl who was a daughter of hades when there's a whole voodoo pantheon. King Arthur was also when he should have been part of the Celtic pantheon or even plain human if we go by the Christian side of things. Even Joan of Arc was one for some dumb reason.

>>15734035
Jason died? Literally the only good character

>>15738518
Ah that. Yes that is retarded. But but not like this book is the only one to do something retarded like that. In Madoka, Joan of Arc was a damn magical girl too.

>>15739287
At least they fairly explained that Tart thought QB were messiah-sama, she literally and unknowingly larped as the maiden of god

>>15739365
Yeah but that was revealed years after the original series came out.
And let's not forget Anne Frank.

>>15739365
No it was still retarded. Not to mention that Isabeau of Bavaria was the villain. Extra points for that.

>>15738518
The problem is that Rick is probably uncomfortable using the pantheon of non Western mythology. You get into the issue that in some places, they still worship them. My family still prays to Chicomexochitl, the Corn Deity of the Nahuas of Veracruz. So yeah, you have to be careful or you'll piss people off.
Not to mention, in Mesoamerican beliefs, we believe deities had mortal, half mortal, and divine forms, as did their children (regardless of whom their other parent be).
So you can't have just demigods in a world with Mesoamerican deities, because literally all of them are to some extent.

It'd be cool if someone like Leo was the son or descendant of Huitzilopochtli, problem is, he wouldn't just be a demigod, but also have a separate form as a god and human. That would contradict the lore.

>>15740199
interesting, any good books on that?

>>15740210
On Mesoamerican deities in general or my own families cultural practices?

>>15740215
mesoamerican deities in general and I suppose on their existence today

>>15737894

>>15740557
Alan Sandstrom is a good expert for more contemporary. I'm not sure about past. Your best bet is to read some of the codices (especially the Florentine Codex) or anything by Leon-Portilla.

>>15742155
k,thanks

>>15735912
Zoe dies, Bianca dies, Charles Beckendorf dies, his girlfriend too, and others I don't remember.

>>15734014
I hope he dies but Rick is probably just trolling the fujoshis. I'm more scared his daughter (or is it wife?) tweet is more insidious and they might kill off Percy. Doubt that'll ever happen but I worry. But again this ain't Nipponland (where Japs love killing off the MCs) and Percy is too iconic too kill off.

>>15742280
I don't even remember Zoe. Lol

I dropped this shit years ago. What's everyone been up to? Is anyone important besides >>15734035
Dead?

I noticed that in the Heroe's of Olympus the chapters jump between the perspective of the different characters, I've been thinking about doing this when writing cause it seems pretty clever, is it a good idea or no?

>>15743539
Just do 3rd person. Unless it is for babies or extremely protagonist driven with a limited cast, don't do it.

This is 3rd Percy Jackson thread this month. I didn't realize /lit/ had dubious taste until now.

>>15728975
Only read up to the end of Heroes of Olympus, it's pretty good for YA but you'll not here that from 4chan because he has gay characters in his books now.

>>15744522
Problem is not that it has gays, go look up /a/ threads and how they really have no issue with homos or homoerotic stuff in their shows minus a few assholes from /pol/ (but they tend to leave /a/ alone). Problem is that most Westerners have stopped giving a fuck about this series.
Look at Rick's tweets, 50% are from huehue monkeys, 40% tacos outside of Brazil, and 80% of the sum total are underage fujos that would easily drop Perbeth ship if Rick made Percy into a faggot.

Maybe wait for the Disney + show to revive interest.
Also ToA sucks ass, Meg is a shit character, Nico should have been palling with his possible future-in-law (Jesus Christ he literally pulled bullshit out of his ass for why Nico isn't doing more) and not some fat annoying fat cow.
Again, Meg is a shit character and I hope they kill her off.
Also bring back Leo.
Oh and kill off Meg.

I stopped caring after TLO, but apparently Nico was a fag for Percy before dropping dead?

>>15744580
Nico is alive dude and I think he has a boyfriend.

>>15744611
Huh. Glad I stopped at TLO then before Riordan went full JK Rowlings

>>15732415
Is it actually a tranny?

>>15735912
Who have they brought back? I didn't finish HOO.

>>15744668
Yes. It's a girl but it could pass for a boy and they call themselves genderqueer. It's been a while.

>>15744675
Just Frank. So he is full of shit.

>>15741489
WHAT THE FUCK

At first it was kinda funny, then it got pretty hot, then it got weird when Percy got pregnant.

>>15744248
ZoomZooms rule the board now. With this being our generation's main ya nostalgia, and the new show coming out, we are on the precipice of dethroning Harry Potter as the KANG ya series, assuming the show is good of course.

>>15744677
Frank's character in general is fucking dogshit, why would they bring him back?

At least otherwise the series has been good about keeping characters dead when they're dead.

>>15744745
>then it got weird when Percy got pregnant.
One of Apollo's kids is with him with a man. So mpreg or something of that sorts is actually possible in PJ.
If Rick ever does want to do a Rowling and have an epilogue, he wants Nico to have his own demigod kid.

>>15744785
What? Did he actually say that? Source?

>>15744800
One of Apollo's daughter was the result of him with a man.
So it's implied. But yes there's a line where Apollo says male gods can have kids with male mortals.

>>15744800

>>15744806
>>15744785
>>15744745
Gays were a mistake.

>>15744770
Because he is a poc, that's why.

Holy shit, and I thought Appmon was the gayest shit for children.
Rick would probably be a billionaire if Japs could read his books.

>>15745869
It would probably do well among otaku, certain characters are literally japanese archetypes

>>15743539
It depends on how many characters you want to write about, because in HoO there are 7 main characters and they don't even get all the POV (have to share with Nico and Reyna or the Roman leader chick, can't remember her name).
Personally I think you should have 1 mc and his POV will be at least 70% of the time, like how PJO is. The rest can be other POVs to show their characteristics and developments, or the insights of others during the story.
PJO is fine but HoO is only good with Percy and Annabeth part, everything else is boring. Gaea and the giants are a bunch of jobbers.

>>15747394
This, percy and annabeth crawling in greek hell is the best book

>>15747548
Agreed.

Legit question, does anyone actually enjoy the Trials of Apollo?
Like does anyone?

Wow this one is dead. Not like the one two weeks ago. Guess all the nostalgiafags left /lit/.

>>15728975
Talk as much shit about Harry Potter as you want, but after reading them both, years later I can name exactly what happened in Harry Potter but can’t really put a finger on anything that happened in the Percy Jackson world. I read the first two Rome books when they came out but aged out of it at that point.

Better series that Harry Potter in concept and execution, but I can’t name a single fucking thing that happened.

>>15749369
Did you watch the HP films?

>>15734035
Wasn't he one of the Big 3? That's so fucking dumb.

>>15744850
No shit

>people hate Reyna because she is asexual
God I hate this fanbase.

>>15730214
But Rowling hates trannies and she never explored Dumbledore being a fag beyond a few pages.

>>15748243
Tumblr does. They fucking love them. It's clear the original fanbase is no longer welcomed.

>>15728975
The only good this series did anyone was provide smut and fanfiction for losers like OP to jack off to. The writing is bad, the characters are bad, the entire appeal is "GOMF this person died!" Or "these two are fucking!". Its just teenage girls and adults who act like children who like this.


If this thread is to be believed a great many people in this board keep up to date with it and read it instead of literary fiction. Bunch of fags

>>15752730
>If this thread is to be believed a great many people in this board keep up to date with it and read it instead of literary fiction. Bunch of fags
This. If this thread is legit, /lit/ is fucking lost.

>>15731628
Isn't everyone related in this book? There's your problem. Incest is a slippery slope.

inb4 not related because MUH GODS
Yeah that's just as retarded as pedos jerking off to a thousand year old dragon loli

>>15754182
Pedos and degenerates jack off to this shit as>>15752730 said. Its simply disgusting to have romantic relationships in this series. Not only on its own, but also in that in drives people who are even worse who write even worse fiction

>>15754586
>>15754182
>>15752821
>>15752730
>>15752575
Fuck off

>>15728975
Fortunately I completely skipped this series when I was a teen. It seems retarded and very immature. What's it about anyways? When I was a teen I preferred reading Redwall, Pendragon, CHERUB, Harry Potter, assorted adult lite stuff like Stephen King and Ender's Game series, also A Song of Ice and Fire and later LOTR

>>15755781
Percy Jackson is better than all of those

>>15756429
>better than LOTR
0/10

>>15755682
Hope you enjoy the new book that comes out in like three months or whatever that basically follows the same format as the end books of the other two series with nothing new or innovative added.

Maybe character A will propose to charcter B! And maybe character D and E will start fucking! And maybe character F will come back and get back together with character G! That should be enough to create a fanfiction where you put yourself into the story like its real life in lew of actual friends!

Wow! So stimulating and interesting, hope it provides plenty of masturbation as well material bro

>>15755781
See this is good progession where you eventually grow out of this shit and move onto actual literature. I'm honestly shocked to see how many people here still seem to read genre shit like this. And it isn't even good genre shit. Read the exceptions to low brow genre shit like Anna Kavan, Gene Wolfe and Ursula le Guin, as at least those have good prose and deeper themes than this shit and isn't just fantasy material for obese fags in places like Tumblr or Reddit.

Fuck this thread is depressing. I actually respect people more that read manga than this. Even that is less embarrassing.

>>15756815
Le guin is good, the part where the girl settles in the countryside is comfy

>>15756896
Thats why she's one of the exceptions

>>15756896
>>15756962
>>15756815
>Le Guin
>actual leftist makes better work of art than lib pandering idiot
Imagine that.

>>15757014
Many such cases

This should tell you just about everything you need to know about Riordan and his books

>>15757351
also

>what I intended in my own book doesn't matter, anybody can make an incorrect interpretation or connection between two characters that may completely destroy the dynamic of the plot if they wish personal opinion becomes canon so long as you will it to be so

>>15755682
dilate tranny

Still annoys me he made Nico gay.
People complain about fucking Korra and Asami (and they fucking should it was a last minute token pandering bullshit). But at least Korra blushed twice when Asami said something nice about her.

Fucking Nico never did that with Percy (who he supposedly had a crush on for a long time) or anything even close to show he felt attraction. So dumb. So very fucking dumb. You know your writing is shit when even fucking Korrasami makes more sense than you.

Alright, let me say something I HATE KIKES, SPICS, NIGGERS, FAGS, AND TRANSEXUALS. ALL OF WHICH ARE IN THIS SERIES AND ITS SUCCESSORS. SO YOU KNOW WHAT? FUCK IT! I'm WRITING THIS SERIES EXCEPT EVERYONE IS A FUCKING ARYAN AND BROWSES POL. THAT'S RIGHT NIGGER RETARDS THAT'S RIGHT. ARYANS ONLY!


I'll also be doing the same for the Egyptian Series whatever its called.

>>15757896
Post it on tumblr and on Rick's tweet, but be warned, he blocks people.

>>15728975
Once, I had was when I got a hold of a camera I had stolen from a class mate on a field trip to a public park. It was at the end of the school year and we were all looking to blow a little steam. I saw his parents had let him borrow a digital camera for the trip, probably to take some lasting memories. I couldn't help myself and decided to steal the camera and look at the pictures in the toilet.

There wasn't anything too interesting. It was around the time of "MySpace" and "Xanga" and some other early iterations of social media and his pictures were mostly the proto-Selfie of that time period. I looked at them while I went to the toilet and decided to photograph the handle of the stall as well as a downward shot of the feces between my legs where you coud just make out the tip of my cock without being too overt and revealing. I felt kind of strange doing this, because I was mostly naked and had just emptied my bowels into the toilet bowl.

I found him later on in the day and was able to successfully sneak the digital camera back into his pack without him noticing. He was really upset because he thought he had lost it. I don't blame him, I think he would have gotten into a lot of trouble back home if his parents found out he didn't have the camera.

On the ride home he was somewhat pale and quieter. I watched him a lot during the ride, it was about 2 hours - maybe even a little less. He didn't speak much. I felt a little proud and a little messy about the whole thing. My problem is my Sexuality is a bit of a scatter point graph. What I mean is, I have a lot of pleasure in the results of my actions. If I had written the story with the fact that my Homosexual Experience was having sex in the toilet with him, maybe this would have been a lot more clear. But I think defecating and taking a photo of the room of creation and then watching him on the bus ride home as he came to terms with what he had discovered on his temporarily missing camera as something meta-erotic. Is it Olympian? I can't think of a term that fits the glove.

So I guess I could define my life as meta-eroticism.

>>15757921
wtf is this

>>15757426
Korrasami? More like nigga salami.

Is there any literary work of fiction that does this? Essentially a great adventure, love interests, emotion except better and patrician and without trash writing.

>>15758495
Unironically narnia
The story spans generations and features a destruction and creation of a world so it can be considered 'great'

>>15757921
Seriously what is this from?

>>15759802
probably a parody of Riordan's prose, spot on actually

>>15759857
That's what I fucking thought but I legit thought this was from his blog or something and tried looking for it. Fucking hell, it is so eerie when I have the confirmation.

>>15760000
Yeah I think this is one of the passages from one of the books but changed around.

Also can't believe this thread is still alive.

>>15757367
Ok so then what's the point of reading anything fiction if your fanfiction bullshit is "canon" too?

>>15761098
I suppose if you're writing for manchildren this is how you do it.

>Percy's fatal flaw is loyalty
That's not a fatal flaw you fucking faggot. Obvious indicator of a Mary Sue.

>>15733590
How were you already a jaded virgin as a child.

>>15764990
There's no real Fatal Flaw for any of the Seven.
Like you would expect the Curse of Achilles backfired on Percy later like any tragedy in Greek but lolHera, and his loyalty was implied to be 'Percy would fight the world for the sake of his friends and loved ones' then we have 'lol dude let us handle the last boss you go fight those mooks' at the end of BoO.

>>15765018
No I didn't drop it because of the kiss. I just didn't continue with the series. I actually enjoyed their romance but even as a kid it wasn't enough to keep me hooked.

>>15765036
That's why they are dog shit characters. I thought the basics of YA storytelling was to have your characters to have one or two noticeable flaws. Even more annoying is that most of the 7 have no discernible personalities out side of Leo, but even he doesn't have a flaw. And not being able to control fire properly isn't a flaw. Goddamn is this why /lit/ is so fucked up, because they read this shit and HP?

My weirdo parents made me grow up on reading shit like Earthsea and Hainish series. I should thank them for that, because now my taste in literature isn't fucked up.

And for the record, I speedread this series because there's pretty good porn for this. So yes, it is just for degenerate manchildren and underage spics.

it isn't fucking fair bros

exactly the author is a fucking retard and his writing has become shit

>>15765129
sauce on the porn or any good reccomendations

>>15766678
If hetero, most of the Percabeth porn has been wiped out thanks to the death of tumblr and only fujos sticking to the franchise.
>>15766619
There used to be a sizable chunk from this fanartist (hetero and gay) but I think she has made sure to wipe it clean from the Internet after all the underage fujos started to snitch on her to Rick.

>>15766706
I don't give a fuck about the porn I just want a beautful gf who will hold and cuddle with me after a bad dream

>>15766645
The writing was always bad. You either have nostalgia that is muddying your opinion of the first series or you have shit taste.

>>15766706
Wot how did they contact him and how did he take the shit down

>>15766850
be nice to the nostalgia bros

>>15767847
Never. It's how we get shitty reboots or keep alive dying franchise well past their expiration date.

>>15767875
Subtle

>>15767693
Typical twitter bullshit. Both the fanartist and Rick are on twitter so they just kept harassing them. We obviously don't know what transpire but she has grown to hate the fandom and he has not said whether he disowned her but hasn't said anything in regards to this.

>>15768008
I mean the writing is shit but it must be weird knowing a bunch of people get off to writing and drawing your underage characters fucking.

>>15768129
Even worse when the MC is based off your son.

>>15768198
Is it actually? I thought in an interview he said it was his own original character

>>15769021
Not him but yeah. But some shit like him being dyslexic was something he did to make it so his son could have a hero to look up to or something like that.

>>15766619
Is there lit for this feel? Not the sad one but the one on display in pic related. I know there is but is there any that isn't genre shit and which actually falls under literary fiction

>>15769407
Yeah it's called not being a faggot and getting a gf in real life

>>15769470
How does one do that?

No it's still shit. Granted Percy Sue is no longer the MC, but ironically Apollo is a worse character than Percy despite not being a sue.

Bump

>>15770151
Go out, find a girl, tell you like her, proceed to cuddle

>>15732359
>still up to date

so you read this crap instead of reading actual literature? what's the appeal? do you insert yourself into the stories? do you jack off to smut on the internet? what is it exactly because it certainly can't be the fucking writing or the characters.

>>15772540
Cali girls are all sluts.

Why even read this if the author says every headcanon is valid?
So fucking retarded.

>>15773022
why even read it anyways? its YA and particularly bad YA. Others have already talked about the appeal so there is no point but there is quite literally no point in reading this.

bump, not letting this thread die

>>15773166
I think people read this because of the interest people have towards the Greek Gods.

but you could literally read Hesiod or Ovid or ancient greek poetry if you were interested in that shit, i've read these books years ago (not the new series the other two), they destroy and make a mockery of the mythology.

>>15774164
fuck you nigger i'm going to come into this thread every hour and bump it, i'll keep it going throughout the entire summer just to fucking spite you

>>15774136
Too bad Riordan also bastardizes greek mythology to suit his shitty writing,

>>15774211
It gets even worse. Apparently he is even adding the Aztec gods (he mentioned them in his book so they exist in this universe) >>15740199
Even though this guy has straight up said their existence straight up bastardizes his own lore and their lore.

>>15774166
>they destroy and make a mockery of the mythology.
All of these shitty forms of modern fiction do that from anime (Saint Seiya) to cartoons (Disney's Hercules).

>>15775825
People talking about how faggy it has gotten, how it was never good, one of the characters being gay was an asspull, and bastardization of myths and the author being a shit writer like most YA writers.
I think that's about it.

Oh yeah waifus too.

>>15775912
seriously though that drawing of them holding each other really got me. The series is trash but holy fuck knowing i don't have anything like that is blackpilling

>>15776156
And they are just like that in canon too. Read fanfics on that couple too, will give you diabetes because of how sweet they are.

But yes this series is trash.

>>15776213
Which are you guys talking about? The first second or third. I only read the first like 15 years ago so I can't really have an opinion on the others.

The first, in hindsight, has really bad writing

>>15776317
I should have clarified desu i meant all three are trash

STOP BUMPING

i'd let annabelle or whatever her name is crush my head between her tan thighs

>>15778320
She isn't even that tan. The fanartist had some weird obsession where he made her darker but the actual non whites less dark.

>>15778501
>he
*she

>>15731976
>Rick wants to make a character gay
>chooses the pale moody goth boy
Rick is a man of high culture and values

Kane Chronicles is eternally saved by Zia Rashid
Zia Rashid is best girl of all time
OF ALL TIME

>>15778320
I want Zia to step on my balls and force me to admit I'm hosting a God

>>15779642
>makes his boyfriend the complete opposite of him so the pair is kinda like Drarry or Narusasu
>widely popular and pushes his books to sell, doesn't even have to write or flesh out the couple, fujos and gays just go apeshit for them
Man is a genius.

>>15780109
His true stroke of brilliance was first confirming one sided Nico x Percy then changing it to Nico x Will. I think half the audience being fujoshi lost their minds

>>15780109
Why did he make the aryan in his other series start fucking the tranny who could decide that shes a Male in the middle of fucking

>>15780135
They are still upset. Going as so far to constantly pester him to say Percy is bi.

>>15780270
Because one of his students is a tranny

PJO was comfy. It was tightly-plotted, Percy's first-person narration was a good vehicle for Riordan's sense of humor, and the occasional woke themes came from Riordan's lived experience with his kids so they were integrated naturally rather than getting slammed in your face. Most importantly, Luke was a tolerable villain with a legit grievance against the gods, and there was some real tension in that Percy clearly shared a lot of the same frustrations.

HOO had too many characters and the villains didn't have any compelling motivations, they were just rip-tear forces of nature. Given the "bringing people back from the dead" theme, this series should have had humans who got screwed over by the gods in lead villain sidekick positions -- it would have been repetitive of Luke's story, but it would have been better than "hurr I was just created to smash and whatever." Also I'm butthurt about Percy deciding to leave his mom for college on the West Coast, fuck you Percy your mom deserves better than that.

Trials of Apollo could have been PJO 2.0, with a tighter core ensemble and some personal drama. But Riordan's writing is like a parody of itself now, it's trying too hard to capture the slightly zany energy from PJO. It's like later Star Wars authors trying to mimic Aaron Allston. And three shit-tier Roman emperors just don't make for plausible threats to a divine world order. Story can redeem itself with I, Claudius memes in the final book though.

I remember jack-all about Kane Chronicles and the Norse one was anticlimactic. Can't believe it ended with a rap battle.

tl;dr Riordan used his best protagonist and his best story idea in PJO and it's been all downhill performative wokeness from there.

>>15780357
>Can't believe it ended with a rap battle.
No fucking way.
Maximum cringe.

>>15780357
>e
excuse me anon, but are you implying that you still read and keep up with this series and its sucessors even though you acknoweldge the other two are shit and all three fall under YA genre shit and are not real literature?

>>15780392
More or less. If I remember right, MC and Loki engage in a flyting and the loser gets sucked into a magic walnut or some shit. It was so anticlimactic that I didn't realize it was the last book in the series.

>>15780413
I like to wallow in trashy nostalgia and then get mad about it.

>>15780357
Kane chronicles had a hot brown desert waifu. That makes it better than all others IMO

>>15780135
Luke x Percy is the superior homo ship and it's been totally overshadowed by this Nico bullshit.

>>15780606
There's virtually no porn of your ship. Hell Percy has more porn with his dad or Ares than with Luke.

>>15780488
>like to wallow in trashy nostalgia and then get mad about it.
Are you me? I love going to /a/ bitch about what a trainwreck Naruto became

>>15780606
>overshadowed by this Nico bullshit.
It has to do with the fact he is canon cute gay and his boyfriend is actually attractive. Most of the time, canon gay males get paired with uglies. Look to Young Justice and Kaldur and his boyfriend. Kaldur is obviously hot, but his boyfriend is hideous and so the fujos and gays are still hoping Bart and one of his Mexican suitors are gays.

>>15780627
There was a fair amount of Luke x Percy in the LiveJournal days, before HOO came out.

Also some great Apollo porn where Apollo sends Percy wet dreams every night for a year before fucking him. I miss the early aughts.

>>15780488
unacceptable anon>>15767875 was right. its people like you who keep this garbage franchise alive, there are probably works of actual literature that does all of this except better and not shit

>>15733590
That was the last chapter of the last book of the first series

>>15781326
Oh so I dropped it at the peak of the series. I knew it, I had great taste as a kid.

>>15781438
if you had great taste you would have started by reading 1984 and skip all plebeian shit entirely

>>15782417
I read 1984 in high school.

>>15728975
This thread will go all summer as i will it to do so

>>15783107
We only have a 300 post limit on /lit/, rapefugee.

Confession time, I jack off to M rated fanfiction of this instead of digital pornographic videos sometimes

>>15784101
thanks desu i'll be killing myself now

>>15784101
How? 70% of the fanfics at this point about NicoxWill
Fucking faggot.

>>15784191
If you know where to look you can find hetero stuff.


Either way who ever reads fanfiction for whatever reason is doing so as a guilty pleasure hopefully and not because they think its okay

This thread better be a joke. I refuse to believe so many people still read this shit

>>15784995
It's only 61 people. I can live with that.

>>15784191
I found one where the main guy fucks the Hispanic girl

>>15728975
I dropped Riordan's books after the last book of Heroes of Olympus because of how anti-climatic the final battle with Gaea was and never looked back. >>15733940 This, but the 2nd book is the worst and was too campy

>>15785873
Don't come back. The current MCs sucked, villains are retarded and make no sense, and Jason dies for being problematic.

>>15786017
Riordan has something against Aryans dominating cute cherokee (if i remeber correctly) babes? Not based.

>>15786032
Yes. Jason's greatest sin was being a straight white cis male. Percy is the only who can be this because this franchise would die if he died.

I remember reading up to the one where they defeat Gaea before growing out of Rick Riordan
Did he ever do anything else with the Percy Jackson franchise?

>>15786101
Apollo is a mortal now and has to defeat some Roman Emperors more powerful than the Titans.
Also he has to take care of this bitch.

Percy kinda does nothing but go to school and fuck Annabeth.
It's boring tedious shit.
