Though unrelated, this is something a friend of mine on another site posted about the series in terms of plot:

"Don't know if it ever changed up things, but up to and including Hades, every arc more-or-less boiled down to. Threat > Fairy Tail gets involved > Meet the Threat > Split up into various fights > Natsu fights big bad of the arc > Loses > Gets a power up > Wins."

How did I not notice this?
