Yes, but what can you do? I don't like this too, but Percy is the main hero and this is not gonna change. This guy is like everywhere. He is even in Kanes and Magnus's world. I honestly wouldn't be suprised if Percy has a connection with Jesus or something. Anyways, Percy is overrated, to me, but not just because he is always in the spotlight, his powers became a little bit too much lately, too.

But I'm thinking, Annabeth is even more overrated than Percy, actually. Her powers almost even more overpowered than Percy's. Yes, She has no supernatural based powers, But why I think that she is more overrated than Percy is; When Annabeth is confronted and faces with some monster or villain, and she chooses to trick them, she just stands there and talking nonsense and all enemies just buy all of Annabeth's nonsense words; Arachne and Nyx for example. That's disturb me all the time. Annabeth is just talking nonsense, bullsh*tting and all monsters and enemies buys it so easily. At least Piper’s charmspeaking thing somehow makes sense. Cause charm-speaking is kind of a magic. So it can be work all the time like ‘’magically’’. But for Annabeth? No. She has no charm-speak magic, so how it is magically works all the time on everyone when she is just talking nonsense? I really like to see that an actual manipulation rather than talking nonsense thing. Cause, people have high IQ/Intelligence are more capable of manipulating others. And don't tell me talking nonsense is strategy cause it is not. Talking nonsense also not a manipulation. Manipulating someone shouldn't be that easily obvious and noticable. When I read Arachne and Nyx scenes, I seriously was starting to think that Annabeth has a special power really, and that is Magically Talking Nonsense and Bullsh*tting that Everytime Works on Everyone. Because that is works all the time, after all. This was one of the Riordan’s lack of creative situations, I think. Because he just goes and makes all the villains, monsters and enemies are total dumb, stupid, worthless and dim-witted idiots. I don’t know what Riordan was thinking when he was writing these scenes. But making Annabeth’s all enemies are total dumb doesn’t make Annabeth is smarter than them and it does not usefull to help Annabeth’s character development, at all. It is like, her enemies’s IQ points are 5 and Annabeth’s IQ point is 20 or something like that. ''Yes, I just assumed Annabeth's intellect, fight me.'
