Oh sorry. Yea. Before it was more natural with the treatments and the characters were not ooc. Plus shorter stories so better foreshadowing and the logic wasn't as abused. Ok. You're right.



I don't have a problem with him reusing anything as long as it improves. It's the same feeling I have with retelling of grimm's fairy tales and things like Spider-Man and superman and Disney. Time period changes along with the actors but the characters and plot stays the same. So as long as they keep updating it and bring unique twists to keep the story fresh than I'm entertained.

I just wish he wasn't doing it like a checknoff list and would make it flow more naturally. Sometimes it seems to me "I have to have a war like in RM. Every long running shonen has a war arc! Need that for fairy tail." Looking back on stories he also said "Natsu has fought Erza and Gajeel and technically Lucy. I need to give him and Gray a big fight. Check. Zervis needs to become canon. Check. Erza's mother has to be super OP. Check." So the story ends up being rehash of old ideas.

Altho having so many people stab themselves and other people
within a few chapters was annoying. Like there are other methods of killing. Pot of boiling oil and poison and stuff./ s <-probably should add sarcasm so people aren't thinking I'm dexter.
I agree he need to update his writing but the manga is still charming tho. When you think about it, Mashima destroyed Natsu's main plot which was finding Igneel to give us something forced like Tartarous to step up for E.N.D./Zeref/Acnologia.

Yes the manga is still charming. And I quit everything unless it's short so there has to be something for me to stay with this ^_^

Plus other people like to keep following and I liked to think we are a tried and true fandom with more loyalty and nakama than band wagon shonens. Even tho we argue. Every. Single. Chapter. We always come back home.

I think Mashima has been sabotagin Natsu's plot for awhile but not necessarily the Tartaros arc.

I love fairy tail but i'm not happy with the fandom, So trollish tbh.

In tartarous Igneel got killed and Natsu became END and Zeref's brother. He changed Natsu's plot in one arc. I hate this arc so much.

What in the world. Nothing has surprised me more.
--- Double Post Merged, , Original Post Date: ---
Used to hang out with this guy when I was still mainly residing in one of the Philippine Island provinces. We used to debate heartily about fairy tail every afternoon before going out for a jog(early evening). had to relocate for some time so I lost contact with him around the time neinhart was introduced(we were excited for Neinhart because of his silhouette, and because of the specific people that were going after Neinhart (Jellal, kagura, Erza, basically excellent mages)). Got in touch with him recently and got really excited to start-up a Fairy Tail discussion with him again. Turns out he quit reading. Some people have really had it with Mashima. I'm seeing it through, though. Hopefully.

I blame Neinhart.

Are there any chapters that have made you ponder about dropping the manga?

Those would be so many, basically uncountable.
But to be serious, I never thought of dropping FT seriously, because I've spent time on this series, even if it gets so bad that it'll make me giving 1/10 for a chapter considered as generous.
And I always thought its ending soon anyway,which gave me a good reason not to drop it.Alvarez just seemed good to end since we'll get Zeref and Acnologia, and we did. I hope FT ends this year though.

I don't think i ever considered dropping the manga. I mean, despite the flaws and sometimes disappointments... At the end of the day this is a manga. I'm not going to get emotionally triggered for a fictional work. Overall i'm reading this to have fun, and even when things disappoints me and i have reasons to be salty, i'm still genuinely enjoying the manga.
Tldr, this is FT and i've never put my expectations very high anyway... I'm still loving the manga.

With all that being said, one thing i considered dropping is the forums. After disappointing FT chapters i sometimes feel like i'm drowning in salt from people here. And by hearinng salty thoughts from people i get to see WHY chapters make salty, and i eventually get salty myself. Like the forums contaminate me or something.
Now dont get me wrong, i might just be a salty person from the get go. But i feel like i'd enjoy FT way more if i wasn't spending that much time here, trying to list every possible bad things Hiro does in the manga.
Overall we should all just enjoying FT just like we all did when we started reading it.

Chapter 500 'A Song of Ice and Fire'
Holy shit, seeing this title after the end of 499 released my inner Game of Thrones fanboy :squee:gaw
I thought Natsu, Lucy and Happy would be sent to the Wall by Brandish:neutral:(
But then it turned out into a series of nonsensical events one after another :disappoint:facepalm

That's very true, Spending too much time with the fandom can corrupt your interest in reading especially when the haters and trolls are taking over the place. The negativity is really spreading so fast and it became a routine to hate almost 70~85% of ppl here just bash chapters/characters and they don't leave any healthy discussions as if they can do a better manga.

with the exception of some chapters in Tartaros, nearly all of them since we learned that Mavis saved Natsu and co from being exonerated and annihilated. Though, I admittedly did like the fights/matches in GMG, except for Sting being a bitch and giving up when he could have beaten FT.
