That was only an example. I can show you more to if you want. Most of The Son of Neptune was fairly serious. Half of The Blood of Olympus was semi-serious (Nico's and Reyna's Pov; especially Nico's. There was some really dark moments in his POV). You see, while I definitely agree there should've been more of a balance between humor and seriousness, since there were times where humor was ruining the tension or seriousness of a moment, but I definitively think HoO is much darker and serious in general than PJ, and the Chapter Titles indicates (one of the indicators) that shows how much the readers missed the typical humor of Riordan, if you see the reactions/reviews of Trials of Apollo or Magnus Chase series for example. Less humor was one of the biggest complaints in HoO.
