I believe one of the reasons why Rick created Percy as a son of Poseidon, instead of Zeus, is because he wanted to be different from others stories of Greek Myths, where the main character is always related to Zeus. Unfortunately, Percy became the "Zeus" of the fandom, people praise him too much and forget every other character, or they become too obsessed with Percy, that they dislike every other character, simply because he is not Percy.

I had once participated in a discussion group about the Riordanverse, but i abandoned it. Why?

Well, because they simply COULD NOT stop talking about Percy: "We should write a fanfic about Percy!" "Percy is the best character ever!" "Percy,Percy,Percy...." sure, not everything they talked about was Percy, sometimes they discussed about the flaws of other characters, and to bash them, they talked about Jason too, but only to bash him, and about the gods too, but only to bash them as well.

Funny that the group's name was "Riordanverse discussion" but they hardly ever talked about any other series like TKC or MC... I agree with what you said about Percy
