You got me at "Percy Jackson", but the immersive writing kept me reading. Ngl, too many parts are similar to the pjo books and movies to my comfort, but to be fair there aren't boatloads of pjo-esque stories to reference, and it's not bad watching the action unfold from the "extra" MC's pov. Bonus points for building a main cast and setting with very different dynamics and vibes compared to pjo though. Although there aren't many chapters, we get glimpses of the MC's innermost self between the end of one action sequence and the start of another (which are very well written btw) and I empathise with him in those moments of brief tranquility. The side characters have distinctive qualities and I personally hope to see their povs in the future to better understand them. There's also this girl who seems like a potential fl, and I'm preparing to brainwash myself into not thinking about their relations because. Well. It's Greek mythology. (Speaking of which, can author spoil who's the fl?) The MC's system blends a staple of extra stories seamlessly into this Greek-mythology-inspired world and is surprisingly merely a reference, not an op assistant or sentient annoyance. World background is easy to sink into; story development has been action-packed and landmines are being planted by the MC—can't wait for them to blow up in the future! Idk about updating stability since I binged everything in one sitting, but looking forward for more chapters XD

Yoo! Thank you so much for the compliments as well as the constructive feedback! The story will be diverging more and more from pjo. I know some plots are quite similar to pjo so far. But since I am in the early stages of world-building, these plots are fundamentals to create a universe like pjo. After I finish laying out the fundamentals, I will be able to write a lot of interesting and different things. (Though I admit I may creatively use some of the plots in pjo series when the time comes🤭)
