I actually have a theory as to why he's doing it, and in my opinion has nothing to do with him being a bad mangaka. If you read comments in manga sites, a lot of the fans are actually liking the way things are going. But it's probably because they're kids. Unlike most shounen authors who try to reason their character's actions to some extent, extending the target audience to adults, HIro's focusing solely on children, making Fairy Tail into a fairy tale, quite literary. Then there's also the fact that Hiro draws super fast. I mean, two series at the same time? Really, Hiro? With oneshots in between? Also collaborating on a few light novels?

What are you doing? Don't Hiro, stahp!

Most mangaka focus solely on one project, which gives them more time to explore their options in how they want to proceed with the story and character developments. For example Kishi, he's only doing Naruto and that's why he has it good right now. His story is going just the way he likes it and he can finish it nice and clean. Sure, some things could be better, like his female character developments, but no one's perfect. Hiro really should consider focusing solely on FT and actually think about what he'll do with it, rather than pick the easy route that's typical for the shounen series- the mc('s) always win, vying for frienship and even the bad guys are just a bunch of sad story shmucks. Just so that he can do multiple projects at the same time.
