Since you're basically @ me without actually @ing me my whole entire point is that almost all of the characters were shipped off by BoO, including Leo who was supposed to be a 7th wheel. The only person not shipped off who was a major character was Reyna. It's really weird and unusual that literally all of the major characters AND Nico were all just in relationships and by the end it was just forced? Like it's one thing if by the end everyone wasn't forced into some relationships, but by the end even Leo and Nico were which is NAGL. Between Solangelo together and Caleo together both are just so forced.

Most of his stories are towards middle schoolers. IDK about you but uhm, every middle school relationship I ever saw literally lasted two weeks max. Literally learning that it is "okay" to be single is a valid thing and a good point. Piper and Jason breaking up is actually quite a good thing because that means she is finding herself.

I complain about them because they are f o r c e d. I don't complain about Percabeth or Frazel for a reason. I complained about McGrace because she was borderline obsessed with him and half of their memories were literally fake... which she pointed out so I'm actually pretty happy about it. Much needed character development.
