Farewell to the Chapter Review Corner



Every time I walk through that door...it feels like the first time. To those new to the blog, welcome, to my continued readership, all I have to say is thanks. SARA, how's it looking?



All systems are up and running TOM; are you ready?

This isn't a review. Anyone looking at the odd formatting of the title can see that. This isn't a 'Aha is quitting the wiki' blog either, though the title would certainly indicate that. No, what I'm bidding farewell to today, is Fairy Tail. Ash already put up a blog for this, and I haven't kept up with this series since I dropped it who knows how long ago. I took a look at the final chapter today, because I wanted to see how this all ended..."I liked BLEACH's ending better" is about all I can say for that.

My Fairy Tail related comments have not been kind, and I won't hide the fact that I despise this series. But, at the same time, it did bring me to this wiki, where I've been for quite awhile; it got me involved in my longest running story with Per yet (....which is still a thing, just slow progress), and I met quite a few irreplaceable people through this asinine series. I'm grateful for that much, at the very least.

I remember, I got into this series when Per and Ash suggested I read it. It was around 2011, I believe; the final BLEACH arc wasn't started just yet. And I binged most of what was available within about two days. I had gotten from the beginning to whatever bits of Tenrou Island were available in that record time. And I really enjoyed it. I don't know why, but I did enjoy the series.

Then around the Grand Magic Games arc, whatever feelings I had for this series started to decay (and unlike Naruto, where I also suffered a similar loss of interest), they did not properly recover. I couldn't respect Hiro as a writer, I couldn't enjoy Fairy Tail as a story — I began to see so much I hated in it. So I started to alter my review styles, and my words became harsher and harsher. In fact, a lot of folk didn't much care for my reviews then (or up until the end, if memory serves, but then again, I had nothing good to say, and I still don't). So I passed my reviews off to Fire, and when I quit the series, I passed them off to Mang.

And I don't regret that. I went back over Fairy Tail and I couldn't enjoy even the earlier chapters anymore — from the arcs I'd so enjoyed the first time around — and it was strange. So I distanced myself from the series, and I am glad I did. But at the same time, I will say I'm glad I got into the series, as it did bring me here.

In a very roundabout way, thank you Fairy Tail, and finally, good-bye.

(Now back to Kenichi with me!)



It's been one hell of a ride, and you lot probably won't see much in the way of blogs from me. To those who liked Fairy Tail, I hope you find another series to enjoy just as much. To those who don't, believe you me, I relate. See you around, everyone; stay gold.
