This manga could've just as easily been an artbook and it would be just as good or better. I believe that before adequately judging the work you should identify what it's trying to achieve and then conclude whether it succeeds but there's also something to be said about how valuable the goal is to begin with.
In case of Olimpos, author's goal (judging from afterwords) was to just draw a bunch of cute boys in elaborate outfits. The goal is clearly achieved as one again stated by author themselves but is there anything else of interest to the manga? Not really, the story is completely pointless

The first few chapters were interesting to me, but then it started to feel stagnant.
The characters were *beautifully* rendered, and one can only wish that the same attention to detail was given to the background illustrations. The only background throughout a good ...

Probably one of the most interesting interpretations of the greek gods and myths. It has such an interesting concept and explores it so well in it's short amount of chapters. It leaves you feeling satisfied with the world building and characters, but also there is still some questions unresolved in which allows enough for the audience to interpret for themselves which leaves a lingering impression.
