I wanted to state something first, and I think a lot of people can agree with me that the last Fairy Tail arc was disappointing and the final chapter being a major letdown. I was glad to hear that a new series is coming up and boy... it still hasn't changed one little bit.

Story: (4) It's really fucken predictable, the thing I hated so much in the original Fairy Tail was the fact that every arc had the same formula,
- Everyone is living in peace and harmony
- The villain shows up with little to no explanation.
- They get hyped up to be "very strong."
- Everyone gets beaten to a pulp
- Natsu, Erza, or anyone really pulls something out of their ass cheeks and spout out that "they must protect their friends."
- The villain that hyped up to be so strong gets defeated, and in the next arc he or she is turns into cannon fodder, a jobber for the next "villain" to get hyped up, they get forgotten, or they become friends who barely help the main group out.
Let me tell you something, it gets very fucken old after the third-fifth time... And it seems it's happening again, we get a new villain getting hyped up to be the "strongest ever" til the next "strongest ever" shows up, the White Mage, and we get five new Dragons, God Dragons, (who need God Slayers amirite?) who are even stronger or just as strong as Arcnologia... Why? I can tell you one thing though, I already know the ending to every arc is going to be.... And the only reason why I should even read the arc is because the author loves to add bullshit convenient plot twists that won't affect the series at all in the long run.

Art: (8) The Art is the best thing I can say about this manga, and it's average lol. The ecchi is something I forgot to touch upon, but I can ignore it... to a certain extent. "What woman in the right mind would wear that?!"

Character: (7) I just want a fun slice of life manga with all these characters, they have the best personalities I can ask for, Natsu is awesome when he's not pulling friendship out of his two asscheeks, Gray and Juvia is always funny and cute to read, Gajeel is just my favorite character in general, Erza can be comedic also when she's also not asspulling, and Lucy can be well-written when she's not "well-drawn." Every character has their charm, they are the thing that make me keep on reading this manga and this would've been a 10 out of 10 if in any other manga, but the thing is that they're in a badly written, predictable, flawed, and forgettable story like Fairy Tail.

Enjoyment: (5) It's cringey, edgy, and just a chore to read through when it tries to get serious. When it comes to the characters being themselves, I can tell you this, it's a really good read, but sadly this manga won't give me more of those moments.

Overall: (6) I wish it had a cool 2-10 year time skip where all the characters are all matured and can justify themselves being so strong, but it didn't.
I wish the villains were more developed and can feel like a legitimate threat, but they never are.
I wish we can just have a simple arc where the Fairy Tail guild is simply defeated, giving them a reason to train to get stronger without having to pull something out of their anus, but they never lose because friendship.
And I wish we can have an arc that doesn't have to involve a villain planning to destroy or change the world, but we won't.

Hardcore fans will give it a read and go meh and regular fans won't even realize this sequel exists. As for me, I'll still read it as long as the manga continues, but will ever become the manga I wish it'll become? Nope lol.

P.s, I'll eat shit if it magically does follow my wishes.
