so my take on the new pjo series is that it reads like a reasonably well written oneshot/missing scene fic. straight to the point, occasional plotholes or forgetting of canon, generally low stakes, a “no beta we die like leo valdez” tag, and an a/n that warns you of all of the above.

the problem though is that instead of a a random person writing it purely for fun and no expectations, it’s the actual creator doing so as a cashgrab that we’re basically forced into accepting as canon. the plotholes and mistakes and lack of willingness to follow through on literally anything may (and should) be negligible when a fan does it, but that doesn’t make it in any way acceptable for a professional. what the hell
