When you first get into Fairy Tail, you obviously expect that Hiro Mashima will expand that intriguing world he has created, make interesting characters, mix up some nice comedy and battles and you will have a pretty well-done One Piece copy. Not quite there.
One manga that had immense potential is nowadays one of the worst manga to follow, and I don't know why I am still doing it.
Well, let's start. Mashima shows us what appears to be the story of Natsu, a mage that controls fire that wants to be reunited with his father Dragneel, a dragon. The big problem is that this objective is
...
never moving the plot. The protagonist's dream is ABSOLUTELY IRRELEVANT! Different from OP or Naruto, where the main character's objectives actually matter and make the plot move forward, this does not happen here. Not only that, but Mashima also makes tons of useless chapters just to make us feel touched, and that end up not affecting anything at all. Anything about the plot of Fairy Tail is bellow pathetic.
His art is quite decent, but not anything that stands out, and is quite generic
Mashima's characters are incredibly shallow, with the only one with some kind of development being Erza. All the rest has nothing. Natsu has become my most hated main character of all time. He's annoying, ridiculous and just bad. Lucy exists for the sole purpose of being the fanservice girl, and Gray the fanservice boy. Wendy is the loli that Mashima threw in the story for no reason. Bad antagonists with lack of reason make this even worse.
Last but not least. Despite all these obvious flaws, FT used to be enjoyable. However, as the time passed, jokes stopped being funny, the main cast's fights became "hey, I win because I'm the character, despite the fact that you're 10000000000x times stronger than I am" all the time, and it stopped being enjoyable at all.
Fairy Tail is not a manga worth reading at all. If you are thinking about reading it, stop at this moment and go read One Piece or whatever, because you should avoid this manga
