I read this, but I do so out of this underlying need to stick with a manga until it ends. The manga started out pretty strong and has just gone to the shitter. SPOILER!!!!!!! The time skip was cool, but then they cancelled it completely. I was expecting to see some older versions with some style, but nothing. The characters are so unbelievably strong on both sides. The biggest issue is that they make the enemies so overwhelming but give no clear way for the characters to advance so they need to put some stupid random buff to push the story forward. Perfect example is in the grand magic games where Erza summons an armor that can defy the laws of magic, what? Or the lightning fire dragonslayer ability that natsu gets... Now in general the manga seems to be stuck in the same cycle. A dark guild appears then they go to war with Fairy Tail. One by one they are taken down barely by the many members of fairy tail usually leading to the leader fighting against Natsu and losing. I'm not a fan of the repetition and the constant need to super buff the main characters because the enemy was written way to strong and if they don't get the power boost the story ends.... Sadly I will continue to read it because I have too many questions.
