Reviews

It pisses me off how how the minimum rating I can give is a 1. This series doesn't even deserve a 1 because it isn't good at anything. This is the only series I've seen that truly fails at every single thing it tries to do. The story started off with Natsu trying to achieve his goal of finding Igneel, not too bad right? But throughout the series, he literally does nothing to achieve his goal. I mean even the first 100 chapters of this manga, Natsu didn't do a damn thing to try and achieve his goal. That's just fucking ridiculous. That's bad writing... It's as if the mangaka just completely forgot about the point of the story. That's not even the worst part about it though. The entire plot is just complete and utter shit. Some of the arcs are just random dark guilds attacking the Fairy Tail guild, that's how simple it is. The phantom lord arc and the tenrou island arc is literally just a random group of dark guilds attacking fairy tail for whatever reason, and then the fairy tail guild uses their nakama powerups to beat them. That's just a horrible way to get the main characters into conflict, and also a horrible way to introduce a villain. And almost every arc I've seen in this manga is just bad... The only decent one is the tower of heaven arc. The worst arc in this series is definetely the grand magic games arc. I've never seen more asspulls and deus ex machina, and retcons. Erza getting friendship powerup to defeat minerva, laxus beating Jura so easily and quickkly, even though it was stated that he's one of the strongest mages. Plus it doesn't make sense for Laxus to be beating Jura when he hasn't even trained 1 bit, and he got beaten by Natsu. This also proves this shitty series also has terrible powerscaling. Someone that gets beaten by Natsu early in the series can become a lot stronger without even fucking training. One of the worst asspulls in this series is when Erza was fighting Akuma. That was one of the worst fights in the series. It literally made no sense whatsoever. The characters are really fucking bad. By the time I finished this series I realized for a second that there isn't even ONE interesting character. Some of the characters used to be good, but they completely got fucking ruined. -Natsu: Extremely generic protagonist. A complete fucking luffy copy. If you haven't seen Fairy Tail yet, just think of all the cliches a shounen protagonist can have, and there you go, that's what Natsu is. He gets absolutely no character development throughout this series. He was close to getting character development when he fought Gildarts, but his development literally just reset since he hasn't learned his lesson. Even after he fought Gildarts, he still wasn't capable of reflecting on his actions. He has no introspection. If an author of a manga isn't capable of making a character display ethical or psychological development, that is an absolute problem for your story. He has no internal characterization, none whatsoever. He has no fucking internal dialogue (which is actually pretty fucking ridiculous), none. He fits none of the criteria that make him a good character. His whole character is based on Nakama bullshit, which is extremely cliche... Natsu is an extremely flawed character, and I'll give more reasons to that. Another problem with Natsus character is that he only gets involved in conflicts because the "bad guys" hurt his Nakama. I know One Piece also has this problem, and it really pisses me off. Natsu only gets involved in conflicts concerning his nakama. This isn't a good way to get the protagonist involved in conflict. The reason it isn't good is because it's the cause of all the friendship bullshit. I don't think it happened in evey arc, but I know for sure it was most of them. Gray: Used to be a cool character until his character also was based around nakama bullshit. Now he's no different from the rest of the horrible characters that constantly talk about nakama. Lucy: This character is pointless, only in there for the fanservice. Most of her fights end up in asspulls just to progress the plot. I actually think she's the best (least worst) of the main cast. Doesn't make her a good character though. Erza: By far the worst character in the entire manga. All of her fights end up in asspulls, every single one of them. She used to be a badass early on, but become a damsel in distress. It's just fucking disappointing. Even the character designs are fucking lame. All the girls look the exact same, just massive boobs, and the same damn face. Most of the characters that do get developed, it really doesn't matter since they became the same sissys in the end. Their development didn't even matter at that point. Another thing that Fairy Tail does bad is the characterization. Most of the characters have poor characterization, and have little to none development. I'm going to give one example here. Elfman and Mirajane act the way they do because their younger sister Lisanna died (before the series started). But their characterization was completely fucking pointless after they find out that Lisanna is still alive in another dimension. There was literally no point to their characterization if Hiro Fagshima just brought them back. And the funny thing is, Lisanna literally had no purpose after she came back. She literally didn't do shit, she was useless, she had no purpose in the story. Basically, Hiro Mashima ruined two characters for no reason at all. And another thing that pisses me off is how characters just get brought back to life constantly, and once they do get brought back they don't get any character development whatsoever. The author of this manga fails to realize that killing characters might actually make series a bit better. Killing off characters can lead to character development, but the author fails to realize this. So pretty much none of the characters in Fairy Tail are well written, or at least decent, including the villains. There isn't a single villain in this series that's considered well written. Most of them are villains for the sake of being evil. Most of them are extremely generic. The thing that angers me about this manga is how fucking generic it is. The main character has fire powers, that's the most generic it can fucking get! It's an extremely basic battle shounen, and it has every cliche you can even think of. The lack of creativity in this manga just proves the author didn't put much work into it. I've seen other battle shounen that are quite generic, such as Yu Yu Hakusho or Boku No Hero Academia. The difference between them and Fairy Tail, is that they actually are good at what they do. Fairy Tail isn't good at anything it does. The worst part about Fairy Tail is the asspulls that happen every damn fight. Here is how it goes. Main character gets beaten up badly by the bad guy, Main character makes a speech about friendship, Main character beats villain with a random power never before seen (which is considered an asspull) That's the recipe used in every fairy tail fight. Not even a single fight is won because they train, it's all friendship powerup bullshit. Even worse, the main characters never fucking lose! fights against villains! There is no sense of danger in this manga, since none of the main characters will EVER die. At no point while reading this do I feel like the main characters will die. That's just BAD writing.. The main characters can defeat every single person they fucking want to, even if it's a god. All they have to do is yell out a friendship speech and yup, they fucking won. There isn't any suspense in this manga, when the fights are the exact same every fucking time. That's how fucking bad the power scaling is. We know damn well that some of the people Natsu has beaten are far stronger than him, but since his Nakama are involved he can completely destroy them. Another thing that this manga does bad is it's combat system. Every person has a random power (magic). The reason why this sucks is because it's so generic. Who would want to read a series where the characters have the most generic powers? It just shows how little effort the author has put into making this horrendous manga. I'm almost done with this review, but I just have to add this in. Fairy Tail doesn't have an interesting/unique world. We barely know about the setting at all. The world building is complete and utter shit. Now I'm just going to summarize some of my points. Fairy Tail has no well written characters, none whatsoever. Fairy Tail is extremely unoriginal, literally nothing about it is creative. Fairy Tail has horrible fights that aren't suspenseful whatsoever. This manga has more asspulls than anything you'll ever read/watch

Overall rating: 0/10
Absolute filth that should've never been created.
