No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

It isn't bad, just a bit less than rigorous in terms of mythological accuracy and internal consistency.
Blake: Gee Percy! It's one of the Gods!
Pervy: You're right, Blade! It's my father, Zoinks!
Zoos: Fuck you, Blam and Patrick!
I think the original commentor was saying that Percy Jackson was being used as an example of good world building and it has been used as a comparison to bad world building to show what you should be doing
oh.
Well, I guess opinions about the world building are varied, then lol. I would rank it over harry potter, but not high enough to call it good. I'd call it decent overall.
That's a feature not a bug - the original greek myths were not exactly internally consistent either.
