Talentedtal4200 chapter 32 . 6/5 Love the story basically been non stop reading it since i started like a week ago lol but i love it you have done a great job on kinda keeping track of things and also its one interesting story. Good job so far and dont give up on it like so many other great stories ive read. |
Talentedtal4200 chapter 16 . 5/30 One thing a lot of people that read the percy iackson books never realized is that these pantheons exist in the books too the kane chronicles at the end talks about some weird stuff happening in long island and the magnus chase books about norse mythology the main character is annabeths cousin |
Mr.Fluppy chapter 18 . 5/4 I just gotta say, you have a big ambition if your bringing the Japanese myths here, because that would only mean you're also gonna some of the famous myths: Norse, Egyptian,Aztec, Chinese etc. etc., I hope you got enough writing imagination to write this to the end |
Guest chapter 24 . 4/4 Here's the thing. We all call Percy 'seaweed brain' but he is actually not that dumb, not anymore. Maybe he wouls have trusted 'a stranger that he meets for the first time' if he's a 12 years old, but he's not. Around the 4th book is when he started to realise trusting everyone without any thought given is not so smart (hanging out with Anabeth helps). So to think that he would believe his so call 'grandfather' who he has never met is a little unbelievable. I mean, if the voices in his head somehow has the same power as charm speak then it would work. But to think he choose to believe a stranger over his girlfriend who btw died, trying to protect him. And I love Anabeth charactec. She's smart and quick thinking. She is badass as hell, everytime she has an 'I have an idea' moment. But it seems like she is being debuffed in this chapter. Like everytime she look at percy, her brain is automatically shut down. I would understand if there's an unfortuante circumstance that preventing her from explain it to Percy. But seeing her fumbles with what to say is frustuating. It's like watching a Bollywood show. A main character is falling, then sudenly time's stopped the other charaters gasp and shocked but no one actually do anything to help. Sometime they even do a breakdance while at it. It's fruatuating. |
Guest chapter 32 . 4/1 Great work! Can’t wait for the next chapter! |
Guest chapter 32 . 2/26 Awesome story! This has been arguably the best fiction I've ever read, but tbh it's so great I almost don't wanna call it fanfiction, it's so unique from Rick's that it's worthy of being it's own title. Plus this first arc is more words than the first series combined. My only critique for the series has been the pacing feels a little bit slow, but since you're such a great writer I don't find it burdensome at all. As far as harem!Percy, I'm unsure if you've decided all the partners, but one is Eko, and I hope Annabeth and maybe Thalia(if it works for the plot) are in the harem. I've never read a Harem fic that wasn't pure smut. I used to exclusively read on Ao3, but this fic is so good its got me looking at other works on here. I hope all goes well and that the fates can be kind to you. |

Super Fast Potato chapter 32 . 1/20 In love with this story, can’t wait for more! |
Rory chapter 32 . 1/19 A new chapter! In all honesty its release took me completely off guard. I’m currently going down the ever extensive and all consuming rabbit hole that is Harry Potter fics and haven’t really been keeping up with anything PJO related in a while. Enough about my oh-so-interesting ramblings, time for the chapter :D. (As usual, please ignore any grammar and spelling mistakes I make!) Lot’s more planning happening here in the Thalia POV. Doing the infamous horror tactic of splitting up as well! What could go wrong! Jokes aside, this scene I found especially interesting, particularly because of the new take on prophecy. Prophecies have been done into the dirt, so it’s always refreshing to see varied approaches on the trope beyond misinterpretations and “Prophecy doesn’t define me!” people who ultimately fulfill fate. The way you’ve explained it, I’ve interpreted it as something like prophecies predict points and events in specific places in time, without telling the time itself. By predicting the time and event one could perform actions that could alter the final event. Hopefully I made sense in my own explanation :). Even if I’ve understood it incorrectly, no doubt I’ll still find it interesting. Going to be neat to see what’s going on in New Rome again and watch the Romans argue. Bringing the Amazons into the fold will also be cool to see, depending if they agree on going to sea I guess. Lot’s of setup happening in this POV! Love to see it! Now Hades was not a POV I thought I’d be seeing now of all times, but it really does fit in quite well the more I think about it. You’ve done a great job here showing the strain of which Percy, Gaea and such have put upon him and Poseidon. Their domains are in chaos and they are doing their best to keep control. Interested to find out more about these “Sea Kings” that keep being mentioned. I also have a feeling this will tie into Annabeth and Piper's future sea traversal… Just a feeling though ;). And for the main purpose of the POV, showing the friction and difference between the big three. Zues locked up making sacrifices for his own benefit, Poseidon wanting to rip his head from his body and Hades trying to find some sort of compromise. A nice trio of conflict. It seems Hades may be about to make up his mind though judging by the end of his POV. Asbjorn is back! And with a fight sequence! Your stories still hold the best fight scenes I’ve read in any fic so it’s always a joy to read them. Since this chapter is more set-up and exposition themed it’s a nice little spice to make sure there’s action going on. Nothing wrong with writing chapters without battles, I just have a fondness for a fight more than most readers :P. It’s not mindless fighting happening without reason either, we can see that the mist is failing on a much greater scale beyond specific individuals and that the Greek Mythos is spilling forth into other pantheons beyond a few stray monsters. Skane also seems to be a particularly important character to the Norse crew. Can’t wait to see more of them. Another Percy POV! Quite a lot of exposition this time round so there’s a lot to talk about here. First of all, Percy’s changing in character from Percy to the Herald Nyx being shown through physical description is quite well written. One’s thoughts and actions certainly will reflect on their physical self so it’s nice to just have it written plainly, that he is not Percy Jackson anymore. Neat seeing a look into the city within the shadow realm, as well as its citizens. Clearly Percy has left quite the impression on its people. Now the Temple of Alune was cool as well. Honestly, I don’t know how Yggdrasil works in the PJO universe or in the actual myths, so when it said that it was within the temple of Alune does that mean it’s connected to it or part of it is physically growing in it or something else? I don’t really know if that has any relevance at all to the story but I’m curious nonetheless. Bit more backstory for Ardwyrians and the Primic tablet sounds quite interesting as well. Knew chaos would begin to tie more directly into the story eventually. Either way this POV had a lot of information throughout and I have no doubts I missed a lot of it. Either way, I enjoyed the POV quite a lot :). Loved the chapter as per usual. Lot’s of moving parts and I have absolutely no clue how you manage such a complex and detailed plot so well. Kind of blows my mind the more I think about it. I know for sure I ramble and yap way too much in my reviews, but I really like to get my thoughts out (however convoluted O.O) because it’s difficult for me to get them all out in a few short words. Glad you enjoy them as much as I do writing them! Hope everything starts getting better back at home for you. Sounds like the end of last year was a bit of a stressful one. Let’s hope 2024 is less chaotic! See you in the next chapter! :D - Rory |
Lord of the Skies chapter 32 . 1/19 So happy you updated! I’m sorry to hear about your family’s health issues, and about your dog. I’ve had four dogs myself that have passed away/been put down and it’s like losing a member of the family. Don’t even worry about the update time! It was worth the wait. I’m glad I actually like the OC’s honestly, it can feel like such a deviation from “Percy Jackson” in some stories with OC’s changing it too much. But the Norse/Japanese characters are great so far! Also staying true to Percy’s character with the self-loathing comparison to Gabe was a great detail. |
Guest chapter 32 . 1/19 Such a phenomenal story. Keep it up! |
colathebear05 chapter 9 . 1/15 The overall premise and idea of the story is good, but it is progressing very slow. It's already been 9 chapters, and we are still on the day right after the events of the first chapter. I will admit that the fight scenes are great; however, they are long and overextended. They should be saved for more dramatic and important events. |
Lekka chapter 32 . 1/11 Awesome chapter... as usual. This story, even though it is almost 500k words, wish that it was already on chapter 42 when I first found it. |
HellRaiderS chapter 32 . 1/11 Damnnnn perfect as always well written chapter loved it |
