Ups and Downs book series

Ups and Downs is a ficticous book series based on the creator's love of the first person perspective of Percy Jackson and the Olympians. Not much is used from its inspiration except for the first-person perspective and fantasy elements.

No Olympic gods are featured, this is really the story of part of the surrounding character, Kalvin Horner's life involving a building conflict though mostly missadventures happen throughout pretty much like real life. It takes place in a future where non-hostile "second-degree reptiles" have taken the better of Earth into their own hands. These call themselves "Lizard People", they joke ,"Because 'lizard-man' was taken, they are more related to humans than reptiles, thus "second-degree". There's also a race of amphibious people that are related to humans but call themselves "fishmen" they are technically mammals but with the fin-like parts on them and skin that resembles scales. The humans, exept for a few have been put away in resort-like "prisons" where the worst punishment is being called "dicks".

The Lizard People and fishmen are both native to Earth, even inspiring myths like mermaids and the Naga. These are only two out of many examples, though they don't get were the fish and snake tails for legs came from and the humanoid faces. Fishmen, despite their bizarre appearance and, as the narrator winces to say, reproductive differences are called more similar to humans due to their easy to pierce flesh, need to have (wince) intercoarse(at eighteen, the females go through a right of passage by assexually having a child but this is the only occasion and the child dies at two, giving them the name "hamster-babies") and by Lizard Person standards low intelligence. Lizard People have very high intelligence("Makes Einstein look like a newborn human", the narrator jokes), super strength(can lift a bus full of children with both arms), they have very difficult to pierce skin and are fast as a car. They have far more bizarre abilities than fishmen.
