User blog comment:LastationLover5000/Fairy Tail 380 - Suspense? What Suspense? (Hell's Core)/@comment-1759748-20140414021051

Everyone knows I have issues with FT's so-called "story", especially the lack of intrest one needs to have in the characters. No actual struggles, no actual need to be invested emotionally, all possible events that could screw over a character are overlooked in favor of badass points for the guild I loathe with every ounce of daily fiber intake reccommended by the food pyramid. Even the supposedly badass "demons" -laughs with Echo at such a joke of otherworldly evil beings- bring nothing to the table that actually matters. Immortality that can be BROKEN? Half-assed "curses" that should outrank magic enough to be actual threats? NARUTO is a more enjoyable read, and it hasn't had a valid antagonist since Zabuza.

In case my rambling is too long for your tastes: Hiro...has no understanding of story dynamics that invest readers into a story. No decent characters, no threatening villians with actual reasons to be evil and actually threatening powers.
