This is a common ailment for new users, especially on their first stories, and very especially on their first chapters of those stories. Try creating a new chapter with the edits you want to put in, and then delete the bad chapter. It sucks that it can't be in order, but that's one solution.
I can't seem to edit chapters I already posted. The page sort of loads. By 'sort of' I mean, the text is in HTML format and I can't click on anything. Is that a common error? And is there a way around it?
I swear, this site's interface is pissing me off.

Thanks, Liv! (Don't ask how I know your name, I've been around a while but haven't made an account... -_-')
PJO or HoO? That's hard.
For PJO, it'll always hold a place in my heart, because we really got to know Percy and the other characters. It wasn't all Percy, all the time, it was an equal balance of supporting and main characters. The first person POV added an effect to the series that I liked. It let us really delve into Percy's thoughts, and it added humorous effects a lot of the time.
Now with HoO, it introduced quite a few new main characters that were interesting and relatable. Jason, Piper, Leo, Frank, and Hazel were enjoyable main characters, and some new side characters, like Reyna, Octavian and Coach Hedge, were very much enjoyable, too. I loved seeing the new 5 of the 7's personalities develop over the course of the five books, and I loved Camp Jupiter. It was a new twist on demigod upbringings, and gave us a new look at what being a demigod could be like. But the only thing I didn't like about them was the fact that it just... pushed the old side characters out of the way. I mean, some had important roles, like Nico, and Thalia, even though we only saw her in The Lost Hero(and I think in the Blood of Olympus...?), but whatever happened to the others? Tyson? Grover? Sally? Tyson had a brief cameo in the Blood of Olympus, but the others? And I missed some of the gags of the old series, like George and Martha or Apollo's haikus.
Another fact of the Heroes of Olympus was that it was written in alternating third-person point of views. Now, I liked and didn't like it, mostly because after the first series, the switch from first person to third was a dramatic decrease of humor. There's a lot more ways to be humorous in first-person than in third-person. I didn't seem to get why Rick couldn't write in alternating first person, like he did in his other series(The Kane Chronicles). It just... disappointed me.
I really have to agree with Annabeth'sMyOtherSister- PJO is better than HoO in so many ways. That doesn't mean I didn't completely enjoy the Heroes of Olympus to the bottom of my heart- but overall, Percy Jackson and the Olympians settled with me better. It was well-rounded and left me satisfied.
So, yeah... that's all I have to say... xD

Yeah, with my Review book, I had to repost all of the chapters to make an edit and keep the chapters in order...it's super annoying.
