Ahh Fairy Tail probably one of the most over hated series in the manga.
Well enough of that negativity, lets get into Fairy Tail greatness.
First off if your looking for a action packed, fan-service, with great characters & emotion filled moments. I'd say this is your manga to read. Basically a fun positive series to read if your ever in a slump.
Mashima has stated this before and it's pretty much shown through his work, but he lets action speak louder than words. So if you expect to be baby fed certain moments you don't understand, have statements repeated or have the power
...
system explained multiple times, when its incredibly simple. You probably won't have the easiest time reading Fairy Tail.
Art - FT's art at the start was good, it had that old manga feel to it, but as it went on Hiro got into his own style and truly his art now is awesome. Most characters look incredibly beautiful, the enemies have cool designs and he can draw some nice landscape shots when he feels like it.
Characters - Fairy Tail's strongest category for me. FT has a diverse cast of characters, some follow the usual tropes, but never feel like a carbon copy of said trope. Their all unique in their own way, especially those of FT Guild. Their all like a family with their own unique traits who you can't help but root for. Nothing to complex or boring though. Some with good character development (Natsu in particular, I know people won't like that lol), Jellal, Gray, Gajeel and Laxus. This series focuses on FT members a lot, so prepare lmao. No character ever feels useless, especially the strong female characters if your worried about weak female characters. FT excels at giving the females the proper shine they deserve.
Story - Most underrated aspect of Fairy Tail. Let me get this out the way, if your looking for a complex, dark, story this ain't it. Fairy Tail is a pretty simple adventure story mainly following a select few from the Fairy Tail Guild. It excels at emotional moments between characters, and letting you feel that emotion mostly through fights. The story is interesting enough, where it never really gets boring or to cliché (well to a certain degree). Hiro is a master of building hype, sometimes it pays off and sometimes it doesn't. The story is more emotions than logic if you get my drift.
Villains' - Almost all villains look amazing, have an interesting back story and are just strong chads/gals all around. Some are far more complex then others, but most do a great job of being villains. Their are some hyped up villains who's hype was waisted, not going to lie. But overall, I'd say that's overlooked by the stronger/complex villains.
Overall, Fairy Tail is series never to be taken to seriously, but a series to just have good times. It has it's flaws, most certainly, but those flaws are more subjective & person to person based. It's a series where family and friends is everything, emotions is power and characters moments and relationships are what drive this series.
