User blog comment:LastationLover5000/Fairy Tail 404 Quick Review - 00:00/@comment-4072803-20141018160226

I'm not necessarily at the level of rage as some of the gentlemen/women here, but even I have to admit that whenever Erza fights it's really... boring. I don't feel like anything's at stake, like I have to worry about the outcome anymore. Natsu's slightly better, because he has that bitchin' scarf (and any character with an awesome scarf earns some points in my book), but since he seems to have ditched that in the past few chapters, he's degraded slightly in my eyes too.

And, to throw in my two cents on this bemoaning of Fairy Tail, I'm still a bit saddened that my initial MISCONCEPTION about what the plot of the series was is better than what it actually is.
