Used to be one of my favorite series of all time, but ever since the 7 year troll timeskip, it has been on a rollercoaster. It hasnever been the same manga or anime wise. The series is infested with excessive fanservice, Nakama power speeches, character regression, lack of major deaths, plot shielding, and poorly executed plot ideas. I still read Fairy Tail! I am enjoying the Alvarez arc, Fairy tail's current arc. I just hope Fairy Tail makes a comeback and gets back on track. Just can't keep my hopes or have high expectations up with Hiro Mashima!
I'm always on the fence with this one. I keep dropping it because the story gets ridiculous at some points. Aside from that, I don't particularly care much for any of the characters. I'll try reading it again with absolutely no expectations.
i only watched the anime and i love it also got some merchandise almost every single episode made me cry... and there is a lot so i am kinda dehydrated now lol
